Religion

Psalm 15

by George Sandys 1578–1644

From A Paraphrase upon the Divine Poems (1638)

Religion

Who shall in thy Tent abide?
On thy Holy Hill reside?
He that's Just and Innocent;
Tells the truth of his intent;
Slanders none with venom'd Tongue;
Feares to doe his Neighbour wrong;
Fosters not base Infamies;
Vice beholds with scornefull Eyes;
Honours those who feare the Lord;
Keepes; though to his losse, his Word;
Takes no Bribes for wicked ends,
Nor to Use his Money lends:
Who by these directions guide
Their pure steps, shall never slide.
