“He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.”
The final description that the qualified person does not charge interest in lending and takes no bribe against the innocent completes the portrait by emphasizing economic ethics. The prohibition on usury suggests that the qualified person does not exploit others' vulnerability through financial manipulation. The refusal of bribes establishes that the qualified person cannot be corrupted into perverting justice for personal gain. The promise that such a person shall never be moved concludes the psalm by affirming that those meeting these criteria enjoy permanent stability and security.
