Psalm 15

This Pſalme teacheth on what conditio God did chuſe the Iewes for his peculiar people, and wherefore he placed his Temple among them, which was to the intent that they by liuing vprightely and godly, might witnes that they were his ſpecial and holie people.
1.LOrd, who ſhal dwel in thy Tabernacle? who ſhal reſt in thine holie Moũtayne?
2.He that walketh vprightly and worketh righteouſnes, and ſpeaketh the trueth in his heart.
3.He that ſclandreth not with his tongue, nor doeth euil to his neighbour, nor receiueth a falſe reporte againſt his neighbour.
4.In whoſe eyes a vile perſone is cõtemned, but he honoreth them that feare the Lord: he that ſweareth to his owne hinderance and changeth not.
5.He that giueth not his money vnto vſurie, nor taketh rewarde againſt the innocent: he that doeth theſe things, ſhal neuer be moued.
