Psalm 15 Jan. 6 A Psalm by David.  1Yahweh, who shall dwell in Your sanctuary? Who shall live on Your holy hill? 2He who walks blamelessly, does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart; 3he who doesn’t slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man; 4in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who respects those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change; 5he 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.   

Commentary

15:4 He who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change- This is very much the language the Bible often uses about how God keeps His covenant promises of grace to us. When we are tempted to go back on our word, we must remember how God doesn’t do that to us.
