PSALM 15
C. M.
Characters of a saint; or, A citizen of Zion; or, The
qualifications of a Christian.
|
Who shall inhabit in thy hill,
O God of holiness?
Whom will the Lord admit to dwell
So near his throne of grace?
|
|
The man that walks in pious ways,
And works with righteous hands;
That trusts his Maker's promises,
And follows his commands.
|
|
He speaks the meaning of his heart,
Nor slanders with his tongue;
Will scarce believe an ill report,
Nor do his neighbor wrong.
|
|
The wealthy sinner he contemns,
Loves all that fear the Lord;
And though to his own hurt he swears,
Still he performs his word.
|
|
His hands disdain a golden bribe,
And never gripe the poor:
This man shall dwell with God on earth,
And find his heav'n secure.
