Psalm 15

Common Metre (8,6,8,6)

Suggested Tunes: 138 Tallis, 70 Gräfenberg, 37 Bristol

1    Within thy tabernacle, Lord,

            who shall abide with thee?

      And in thy high and holy hill

            who shall a dweller be?

2    The man that walketh uprightly,

            and worketh righteousness,

      And as he thinketh in his heart,

            so doth he truth express.

3    Who doth not slander with his tongue,

            nor to his friend doth hurt;

      Nor yet against his neighbour doth

            take up an ill report.

4    In whose eyes vile men are despis’d;

            but those that God do fear

      He honoureth; and changeth not,

            though to his hurt he swear.

5    His coin puts not to usury,

            nor take reward will he

      Against the guiltless. Who doth thus

            shall never moved be.
