Who'll stay in your tent?

Lord, who'll stay in your tent? Who'll live on your holy hill? The one who walks uprightly and does righteousness and speaks the truth in his heart. He doesn't slander anyone, do evil to his neighbour, or spread insults about them. In his eyes a vile person is despised, but he honours those who fear the LORD. He swears to his own hurt and doesn't change. He doesn't lend his money at interest or take a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be moved.

Lord, who'll stay in your tent? Who'll live on your holy hill? The one who walks straight and does righteousness and speaks the truth in his heart. He doesn't slander with his tongue or do his mate any harm or take up an insult against his neighbour. In his eyes a rotten man is worth nothing, but he honours the ones who fear the Lord. He swears to his own hurt and doesn't change it. He doesn't lend his money at interest or take a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these things will never be shifted.

Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 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. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
