1 Who, O LORD, shall dwell with you
in your tent, the throne of grace?
Who shall be your welcome guest
in your holy dwelling-place?
2 Those who walk in righteousness,
whose actions are just and clear;
who speak words that truth express
and act with a heart sincere.
3 Those who do not use slander
nor pursue malice or deceit;
those who don’t do neighbors wrong
nor scandalous rumors repeat.
4 They despise the wicked ones,
but love those who fear the LORD.
They won’t from their promise turn
e’en though loss be their reward.
5 Bribes they will always refuse
and interest will ne’er be tak’n.
Those who always do these things
shall fore’er remain unshak’n.
– Psalter, 1912, alt.
