A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#20a

20a. Who, Lord, shall to thy courts repair

1. Who, Lord, shall to thy Courts repair.
And find a gracious Welcome there?
Who, in thy holy Hill above,
Shall dwell forever in thy Love?
2. He who uprightly guides his Ways,
From Rules of Justice never strays;
Whose ev'ry Word doth Truth impart.
And speaks the Meaning of his Heart.

3. Who with his Tongue backbiteth not,
Nor seeks his Neighbours Fame to blot;
Who entertains no ill Report,
Nor spreads it to his Neighbour's hurt;
4. Whose Eyes, the vile, tho' great, despise,
But all that fear the Lord doth prize;
Whose Oath, and Promise, firmly bind.
Nor Hopes, nor Fears, shall change his Mind:

5. No Gains by griping Usury makes.
Nor Bribes against the harmless takes:
The Man does thus, by God approv'd.
Stands firm, and never shall be mov'd.
