Psalm 15

A Psalm of David.


Tune PCC uses:   (Tallis) 

 

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.
