He who walks uprightly,
And works righteousness,
And speaks the (A)truth in his heart;
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;
(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;
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.

  1. Psalm 15:3 receive

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
