PSAL. XV.
David describeth a citizen of Sion, by his godly and righteous conversation.
A Psalme of David; Iehovah, who shall [unspec 1] sojourne in thy tent, who shall dwell in the mountaine of thy holinesse? He that walketh perfect, and worketh justice, [unspec 2] [unspec 3] and speaketh truth in his heart. Slandereth not with his tongue, doth not evill to his next friend, and taketh not up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes an abject is [unspec 4] contemned, but hee honoureth them that feare Iehovah: sweareth to his hurt, and chan∣geth not. Giveth not his money to biting [unspec 5] usury, and taketh not a bribe against the in∣nocent: he that doth these things shall not be moved for ever.
IN thy tent] or pavilion, called in Hebrew Ohel, [unspec 1] of spreading over. God caused an habitation to be made in the wildernesse, wherein he dwelt among men, Exod. 26. Psal. 78. 60. that mansion, made of ten curtaines, he called Mishcan, an Habitacle, or Tabernacle, Exod. 26. 1. Psal. 26. 8. over which, other curtaines were made and cast for a covering, called Ohel, a Tent or covering, Exod. 26. 7. Here∣upon the whole place is called sometime Ohel, a Tent, sometime Mishcan, a Tabernacle. To this Tent all Gods people were to come for his publike worship, Lev. 17. 4, 5. Deut. 12. 5, 6. It was a move∣able place, and so differed from an house or setled habitation, 2 Sam. 7. 1, 6. 1 Chron. 17. 5. yet for the use, it is sometime called a house, as is noted on Psal. 5. 8. mountaine] the mount Sion, whereof see Psal. 2. 6. The Chaldee calleth it, the mount of the house of thy holinesse.
Vers. 2. walketh perfect] that is, leadeth his life [unspec] perfect, entire, simple, sincere, and unblemished. It
