Psal. 15. Domine, quis?
Psalmus Davidis.
1
Who, Lord, shall sojourne in thy Tent?Inhabit who thy holy Hill?
Who perfect walkes, is working still
2
The workes of Justice to fulfill;In heart meanes truth; truth speakes as ment.
3
Whose tongue to slander cannot frame,Doth to his friend no evill thing,
Nor gives nor takes reproaches sting,
From mischiefes venom'd mouth to fling,
Against his neighbours honest name.
4
Whose eye (all kind respect forgot)Holds in contempt a person vile;
But rankes them high in honours file,
To feare the Lord, that set their while:
Sweares to his hurt, and changeth not.
5
Gives not to biting Usurie,For sordid gaine, his silver lent,
Sells not for bribe the innocent;
To do these things whose mind stands bent,
Shall stand unmov'd eternally.
