Who may live on your holy mountain?
2 The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
3 whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the LORD;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things
will never be shaken.
Image via WikipediaJust love reading again this evening about the Gittites, who loved David through thick and thin. (2 Sam 15:21ff) Maybe David in his old age spoke glowingly about them to his son Solomon, who also wrote the proverb: "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." (Prov. 17:17) Good stuff! I have friends like this for whom I am deeply grateful, and aim to be as such a friend to them.
