Within thy tabernacle, Lord,
who shall inhabit still?
Or whom wilt thou receive to dwell
in thy most holy hill?
The man whose life is uncorrupt,
whose works are just and straight,
Whose heart doth think the very truth,
and tongue speaks no deceit;
That to his neighbor doth no ill,
in body, goods, or name;
Nor willingly doth slanders raise,
which might impair the same:
That in his heart regardeth not
malicious wicked men;
But those that love and fear the Lord,
he maketh much of them:
His oath and all his promises
that keepeth faithfully;
Although he make his cov'nant so
that he doth lose thereby:
That putteth not to usury
his money and his coin;
Nor for to hurt the innocent
doth bribe, nor yet purloin.
Whoso doth these things faithfully,
and turneth not therefrom,
Shall never perish in this world,
nor that which is to come.
