Description of a Citizen of Zion.
A Psalm of David.
1 O Loʀᴅ, who may lodge [as a guest] in Your tent?
Who may dwell [continually] on Your holy hill?
2 He who walks with integrity and strength of character, and works righteousness,
And speaks and holds truth in his heart.
3 He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
4 In his eyes an evil person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Loʀᴅ [and obediently worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].
He keeps his word even to his own disadvantage and does not change it [for his own benefit];
5 He does not put out his money at interest [to a fellow Israelite],
And does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken. [Ex 22:25, 26]
