PSALM 15, by                    
First Line: Who shall in thy tent abide?
Last Line: Their pure steps, shall never slide.


Who shall in Thy tent abide?
On Thy holy hill reside?
He that's just and innocent;
Tells the truth of his intent;
Slanders none with venomed tongue;
Fears to do his neighbour wrong;
Fosters not base infamies;
Vice beholds with scornful eyes;
Honours those who fear the Lord;
Keeps, though to his loss, his word;
Takes no bribes for wicked ends,
Nor to use his money lends:
Who by these directions guide
Their pure steps, shall never slide.
