Psalme. XV.

The Argument.

Here Dauid craueth
And answer haueth
whom God alowth in sight
The sprite so sayth
Who hath a fayth
to worke by loue aright

Domine quis habitabit.


1

Who (Lord) shall byde: by thy sweete syde?
In tabernacle sure?
Or who shall styll: hold fast thy hyll,
which holy doth endure?

2

Who walkth in state: immaculate,
who blameles lyfe ensueth:
And rightwise deede: fulfilth in speede,
who speakth from hart the truth.

29

3

Whose tonge in spyte: doth not backebyte,
ne doth hys neyghbour euill:
Who cannot beare: wyth quyet eare,
hys neyghbour slanderd still.

4

And he whose eyes: the bad despise,
and lawdth Gods fearefull men:
Who swearth also: hys neyghbour to,
and chaungth not it ageyn.

5

Who will not plie: to vsurie,
hys coyne for lucres loue:
Who bribeth nothyng: the iust to wryng,
oh he shall neuer moue.
