- 1 O Lord within thy tabernacle
- who shall inhabit still?
- Or whom wilt thou receive to dwell
- in thy most holy hill?
-
- 2 The man whose life is uncorrupt,
- whose works are just and straight:
- Whose heart doth think the very truth,
- whose tongue speaks no deceit.
-
- 3 Nor to his neighbor doth none ill
- in body, goods, or name:
- Nor willingly doth move false tales
- which might impair the same.
-
- 4 That in his heart regardeth not
- malicious wicked men,
- But those that love fear the Lord
- he maketh much of them.
-
- 5 His oath and all his promises
- that keepeth faithfully:
- Although make his covenant so,
- that he doth lose thereby.
-
- 6 That putteth not to usury
- his money, and his coin:
- Ne for to hurt the innocent,
- doth bribe or else purloin.
-
- 7 Who so doth all things as you see,
- that here is to be done.
- Shall never perish in this world,
- nor in the world to come.
