Psalme. XV.

[VVho shall in thy Tent abide?]

VVho shall in thy Tent abide?
On thy Holy Hill reside?
He that's Just and Innocent;
Tells the truth of his intent;
Slanders none with venom'd Tongue;
Feares to doe his Neighbour wrong;
Fosters not base Infamies;
Vice beholds with scornefull Eyes;
Honours those who feare the Lord;
Keepes; though to his losse, his Word;
Takes no Bribes for wicked ends,
Nor to Use his Money lends:
Who by these directions guide
Their pure steps, shall never slide.
