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.
