7 But no accounting shall be asked from them for the money that is delivered into their hand, for they deal honestly.”

1 O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?
2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right and speaks truth in his heart;
16 These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace;
