Psalm XV

Lord, in thy Tabernacle
Who shall inhabit still?
And whom wilt thou receive to dwell
In thy most holy hill?

He that walks uprightly,
And worketh righteousness,
And the truth which is in his heart,
Doth with his tongue express.

He that backbiteth not,
Nor doth his neighbour hurt,
Nor yet against his neighbour doth
Receive an ill report.

In whose discerning eyes
Vile persons are contemn'd,
But those that truly fear the Lord,
Doth honour and commend.
His righteous oath and word
That keepeth faithfully,
Although he made his covenant so,
That he doth lose thereby.

On hurtfull Usury
His money hath not lent;
Nor taketh a reward or brib.
Against the innocent.
He that these things observes,
Which God would have be done,
Shall never be by fraud or force
Moved and overthrown.
