‏ Psalms 15:5

usury is derived from a verb meaning "to bite." All gains made by the wrongful loss of others are forbidden.

taketh reward, &c.--The innocent would not otherwise be condemned (compare Ex 23:8; De 16:19). Bribery of all sorts is denounced.

doeth these, &c.--Such persons admitted to God's presence and favor shall never be moved (Psa 10:6; 13:5).
