PSAL. XV. A Psalm of David. (Book 15)

VVIthin thy tabernacle, Lord,
who shall abide with thee?
And in thy high and holy hill
who shall a dweller be?
The man that walketh uprightly,Line 2 
and worketh righteousnesse,
And, as he thinketh in his heart,
so doth he truth expresse.

Who doth not slander with his tongue,Line 3 
nor to his friend doth hurt,
Nor yet against his neighbour doth
take up an ill report.
In whose eyes vile men are despis'd;Line 4 
but those that God do fear
He honoureth: and changeth not,
though to his hurt he swear.

His coyn puts not to usury,Line 5 
nor take reward will he
Against the guiltlesse. Who doth thus
shall never moved be.
