Exegesis
The verse opens with the construct-state noun kaspo {כַּסְפּוֹ | kas-pō} ‘his money’ followed by the negative particle lo {לֹא־ | lōʾ} ‘not’ and the Qal perfect verb natan {נָתַן | nā-ṯan} ‘he gave’, governing the prepositional phrase beneshekh {בְּנֶשֶׁךְ | bə-ne-šekh} ‘in interest’.
A parallel nominal clause follows with veshokhad {וְשֹׁחַד | wə-šō-ḥaḏ} ‘bribe’ introduced by the conjunction ve {וְ | wə} and the prepositional phrase al naqi {עַל־נָקִי | ʿal nā-qî} ‘against the innocent’, framed by the negative lo {לֹא | lōʾ} and the Qal perfect lakach {לָקַח | lā-qāḥ} ‘he took’.
In context — Psalm 15:5
He does not lend his money at interest and does not take a bribe against the innocent ; he who practices these things will not be moved .
