<poem> | |||
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 neighbour 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. | |||

<poem> | |||
Who shall ascend thy heav'nly place, | |||
Great God, and dwell before thy face? | |||
The man that minds religion now, | |||
And humbly walks with God below. | |||
Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean, | |||
Whose lips still speak the thing they mean; | |||
No slanders dwell upon his tongue; | |||
He hates to do his neighbour wrong. | |||
Scarce will he trust an ill report, | |||
Nor vents it to his neighbour's hurt: | |||
Sinners of state he can despise, | |||
But saints are honour'd in his eyes. | |||
Firm to his word he ever stood, | |||
And always makes his promise good; | |||
Nor dares to change the thing he swears, | |||
Whatever pain or loss he bears. | |||
He never deals in bribing gold, | |||
And mourns that justice should be sold; | |||
While others gripe and grind the poor, | |||
Sweet charity attends his door. | |||
He loves his enemies, and prays | |||
For those that curse him to his face; | |||
And doth to all men still the fame | |||
That he would hope or wish from them. | |||
Yet when his holiest works are done, | |||
His soul depends on grace alone: | |||
This is the man thy face shall see, | |||
And dwell for ever, Lord, with thee. | |||

Texts & translations
Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 14)Latin text 1 Canticum David. Domine, quis habitabit in tabernaculo tuo? aut quis requiescet in monte sancto tuo? 2 Qui ingreditur sine macula, et operatur iustitiam; 3 qui loquitur veritatem in corde suo: qui non egit dolum in lingua sua, nec fecit proximo suo malum, et opprobrium non accepit adversus proximos suos. 4 Ad nihilum deductus est in conspectu ejus malignus; Qui jurat proximo suo, et non decipit; 5 qui pecuniam suam non dedit ad usuram, et munera super innocentem non accepit: qui facit haec non movebitur in aeternum. |
Church of England 1662 Book of Common PrayerEnglish text 1 LORD, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle: or who shall rest upon thy holy hill? 2 Even he that leadeth an uncorrupt life: and doeth the thing which is right, and speaketh the truth from his heart. 3 He that hath used no deceit in his tongue, nor done evil to his neighbour: and hath not slandered his neighbour. 4 He that setteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own eyes: 5 He that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not: though it were to his own hindrance. 6 He that hath not given his money upon usury: nor taken reward against the innocent. 7 Whoso doeth these things: shall never fall. |
King James VersionEnglish text 1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. |
