The Psalms of David (Psalms 1–43) · c. 1580s (first printed 1823)
Psalm 15 (Domine, quis habitabit)
In tabernacle thine, O Lord, who shall remaine?
Lord of thy holy hill, who shall the rest obtaine?
Ev'n he that leades a life of uncorrupted traine, [plain:
Whose deedes of righteous hart, whose harty wordes be
Who with deceitfull tongue hath never us'd to faine;
Nor neighboure hurtes by deede, nor doth with slander stain:
Whose eyes a person vile doth hold in vile disdaine,
But doth, with honor greate, the godly entertaine:
Who othe and promise given doth faithfully maintain,
Although some worldly losse thereby he may sustain;
From bityng usury who ever doth refraine:
Who sells not guiltlesse cause for filthy love of gain,
Who thus proceedes for ay, in sacred mount shall raign.
