Psalms 15:5

Context

15:5 He does not charge interest when he lends his money. 1 

He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. 2 

The one who lives like this 3  will never be upended.

1 sn He does not charge interest. Such an individual is truly generous, and not simply concerned with making a profit.

2 tn Heb “a bribe against the innocent he does not take.” For other texts condemning the practice of a judge or witness taking a bribe, see Exod 23:8; Deut 16:19; 27:25; 1 Sam 8:3; Ezek 22:12; Prov 17:23.

3 tn Heb “does these things.”
