Psalms 15:5

15:5 He does not charge interest when he lends his money. ³ 

He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. ⁴ 

The one who lives like this ⁵  will never be upended.

[26:10]  ¹ tn Heb “who [have] in their hands evil.”

[26:10]  ² tn Heb “and their right hand is full of a bribe.”

[15:5]  ³ sn He does not charge interest. Such an individual is truly generous, and not simply concerned with making a profit.

[15:5]  ⁴ 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.

[15:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “does these things.”
