1 [[A Psalm H4210 of David.]] H1732 LORD, H3068 who shall abide H1481 in thy tabernacle? H168 who shall dwell H7931 in thy holy H6944 hill? H2022
2 He that walketh H1980 uprightly, H8549 and worketh H6466 righteousness, H6664 and speaketh H1696 the truth H571 in his heart. H3824
3 He that backbiteth H7270 not with his tongue, H3956 nor doeth H6213 evil H7451 to his neighbour, H7453 nor taketh up H5375 a reproach H2781 against his neighbour. H7138
4 In whose eyes H5869 a vile person H3988 is contemned; H959 but he honoureth H3513 them that fear H3373 the LORD. H3068 He that sweareth H7650 to his own hurt, H7489 and changeth H4171 not.
5 He that putteth not out H5414 his money H3701 to usury, H5392 nor taketh H3947 reward H7810 against the innocent. H5355 He that doeth H6213 these things shall never H5769 be moved. H4131
