[VI.] O Lord who in thy sacred tent
Psalme. 15.
O Lord who in thy sacred tent,and holy hill shall dwell:
Euen he that both in heart & minde,
doth studie to do well.
In life vpright, in dealing iust,
and he that from his heart
The truth doth speake with singlenes,
all falshood set apart.
With tongue besides that hurts no man,
by false and ill report:
Not friend nor neighbour harme will doe,
where euer he resort.
That hates the bad, and loues the good,
and faith that neuer breakes:
But keepes alwaies though to his losse,
the word that once he speakes.
Nor filthie gaine by loue that seekes,
nor wealth so to possesse:
Nor that for bribes, the guiltles soule,
doth labour to oppresse.
Like as a mount so shall he stand,
nothing shall him remoue:
That thus shall do, the Lord hath said,
no man can it disproue.
FINIS.
