Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship ‎#67b

67b. Psalm 15

1. Who, O Lord, a welcome guest
In your dwelling place shall rest?
Who, O Lord, inhabits still
On your own most holy hill?

2. One who walks where virtue leads;
One who acts as justice bids;
One who speaks, and speaks alone
What the conscious heart will own:

3. Who from malice guards the tongue,
Who withholds the hand from wrong,
Nor against another’s fame
Dares the sland’rous tale proclaim.

4. All are hateful in God’s sight
Who in deeds of guilt delight;
Precious in his sight and dear
All who their Creator fear:

5. Gain tempts not to go astray,
On a neighbor’s need to prey,
Nor the proffered bribe allure
To oppress the humble poor.

6. These, whom thus their actions prove
Studious of Jehovah’s love,
May unmoved inhabit still
On Jehovah’s holy hill.
