PSALM XV.
 [ 1]  LOrd, let me know that happy man
Whom thou so well dost Love:
That he may praise thee here below,
And dwell with thee above.
 [ 2] 'Tis he, whose Life is free from blame,
Whose works are right and just;
Whose heart and words are true, and whom
One may securely trust.
 [ 3]  His Neighbour's Name he never wounds
By a detracting Tongue:
Nor in his Infamy delights;
Much less would do him wrong.
 [ 4]  Vile men and their lewd practices,
His vertuous Soul do's loath;
But shews, to such as fear the Lord,
Kindness and Honour both.
Who do's not break his Oath, when he
To his own damage swears;
But his strict Vertue far before
His Interest preferrs.
 [ 5]  Who hates Exaction, and rejects
Bribes to betray the Just:
This man shall ne'er be mov'd, but may
In God securely trust.
