Psalm 15:2-5
New King James Version
2 He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the (A)truth in his heart;
3 He who (B)does not backbite with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
(C)Nor does he [a]take up a reproach against his friend;
4 (D)In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord;
He who (E)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things (F)shall never be moved.
