David describes a citizen of Zionwho does not lend his money at usury The phrase "does not lend his money at usury" refers to the practice of charging excessive interest on loans, which is condemned in various parts of the Bible. The Hebrew word for "usury" is "נֶשֶׁךְ" (neshek), which literally means "a bite," suggesting the harmful and predatory nature of such financial practices. In ancient Israel, lending money at interest to fellow Israelites was prohibited (Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:36-37), as it was seen as exploiting those in need. This principle underscores the biblical call for compassion and fairness in financial dealings, emphasizing that wealth should not be accumulated at the expense of others' suffering. In a broader sense, this phrase encourages believers to practice generosity and integrity, reflecting God's justice and mercy in their financial interactions. or accept a bribe against the innocent The one who does these things will never be shaken
