PXIV | The Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithfully translated into English Metre#PXVa | PXVb |
1 Lord, in thy tabernacle, who
a soujourner shall be?
And who is he inhabit shall
Thy mount of sanctity?
2 Who walks in his integrity,
who acts in righteousness;
And who the truth within his heart
does uprightly express.
3 Who with his tongue will not backbite,
nor does his neighbour hurt;
Nor yet against his neighbour will
take up an ill report.
4 Whose eyes the vile, tho' great, contemn;
but all the LORD who fear,
He honours; and he changes not,
tho' to his hurt he swear.
5 Who to oppressing usury,
his money hath not lent;
Nor takes not a reward or bribe
against the innocent.
Who constantly observes these things,
is graciously approv'd,
He's surely in a happy state,
and never shall be mov'd.
