Psalms 15

1 This Psalme teacheth on what condition God did choose the Jewes for his peculiar people, and wherefore he placed his Temple among them, which was to the intent that they by living uprightly and godly, might witness that they were his special and holie people.
Apsalme of David.
1.Lord, who shal dwell in thy Tabernacle? who shal rest in thine holie Mountain?
2.He that awalketh uprightly and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the trueth in his heart.
3.He that sclandreth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor receiveth a false report against his neighbour.
4.bIn whose eyes a vile person is contemned, but he honoureth them that fear the Lord: he that sweareth to his own hinderance and changeth not.
5.He that cgiveth not his money unto usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent: he that doeth these things, dshal never be moved.
