The Whole Book of Psalms ‎#XV

XV. Within thy tabernacle, Lord

1 Within thy tabernacle, Lord,
who shall inhabit still?
Or whom wilt thou receive to dwell
in thy most holy hill?

2 The man whose life is uncorrupt,
whose works are just and straight,
Whose heart doth think the very truth,
and tongue speaks no deceit;

3 That to his neighbor doth no ill
in body, goods, or name,
Nor willingly doth slanders raise,
which might impair the same;

4 That in his heart regardeth not
malicious wicked men,
But those that love and fear the Lord,
he maketh much of them.

5 His oath and all his promises
that keepeth faithfully,
Altho' he make his cov'nant so
that he doth lose thereby;

6 That putteth not to usury
his money and his coin,
Nor for to hurt the innocent
doth bribe nor yet purloin.

7 Whoso doth these things faithfully,
and turneth not therefrom,
Shall never perish in this world,
nor that which is to come.
