Psalms 15:5

Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this:

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.

He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

Who among you fears Yahweh and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh’s name, and rely on his God.

“Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.

“If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor. You shall not charge him interest.

Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die;” if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right;

who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways.

he who hasn’t lent to them with interest, hasn’t taken any increase from them, who has withdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man and man,

In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord Yahweh.

“You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.

“You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.

“ ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.

You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”

You shall not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice, nor take a widow’s clothing in pledge;

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart;

For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.

When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more; but the righteous stand firm forever.

Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They don’t defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

These are the things that you shall do: speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates,

But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.

For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn’t respect persons or take bribes.

You shall not lend on interest to your brother: interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest.

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that Yahweh your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

His sons didn’t walk in his ways, but turned away after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.

The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.

Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.

Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.

“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, “You exact usury, everyone of his brother.” I held a great assembly against them.

I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.

A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.

These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.

He who walks righteously and speaks blamelessly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—

Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses me.

who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who hasn’t received interest or increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.

Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he will save his soul alive.

Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.

Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men which fear God: men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

Take no interest from him or profit; but fear your God, that your brother may live among you.

I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. Please let us stop this usury.

He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”

As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”

Yahweh said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.

Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.
