God, who gets invited to dinner at your place? How do we get on your guest list?
2 He who walks blamelessly, does what is right, And speaks truth in his heart;
2
"Walk straight, act right, tell the truth.
3 He who doesn't slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his friend, Nor casts slurs against his fellow man;
3
"Don't hurt your friend, don't blame your neighbor;
4 In whose eyes a vile man is despised, But who honors those who fear the LORD; He who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change;
4
despise the despicable. "Keep your word even when it costs you,
5 He who doesn't lend out his money for usury, Nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken.
5
make an honest living, never take a bribe. "You'll never get blacklisted if you live like this."
