Psa. 15.

[_]

A Psalm of David. It questions & answeres, who shal be admitted into Gods famelie (to wit) such as are sanctified in thought, word, & deed, &c. It is vsefull to inform vs, what our Couversations ought to be, who professe our selues to be of God's houshold.

[1]

Lord, who shall rest within thy tent,
Or on thy holy hill?
But, he that's trulie innocent,
And sheweth mercy, still.
Whose hart emploies a truth-full tongue;
And none by slander greeves:

25

Who neither doth his neighbours wronge;
Nor lies of them beleeves.

Who favours those that feare the Lord,
And, sinners doth abhor:
Who shifts not from his promis'd word,
Though to his losse he swore.
Who putts not coine to griping loane,
Nor takes a wicked fee,
He, doubtles, is a blessed one,
And, shall vnmooved be?
