1 O Lord within thy tabernacle
who shall inhabit still?
Or whom wilt thou receive to dwell
in thy most holy hill?
2 The man whose life is uncorrupt,
whose workes are just and straight:
Whose heart doth thinke the very truth
whose tongue speakes no deceit.
3 Nor to his neighbour doth none ill,
in body goods or name:
Nor willingly doth move false tales,
which might impaire the same.
4 That in his heart regardeth not
malicious wicked men:
But those that love and feare the Lord
he maketh much of them.
5 His oath and all his promises
that keepeh faithfully:
Although he make his covenant so
that he doth loose thereby.
6 That putteth not to usury
his money and his coyne:
Ne for to hurt the innocent
doth bribe or else purloyne.
7 Who so doth all things as you see
that here is to be done:
Shall never perish in the world,
nor in the world to come.
