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
Nor lies of them beleeves.
2
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?
