O Eternal, who shall dwell in the temple of Thy grace?
Who shall on Thy holy hill have a fixed abiding place?
He who walks in righteousness, all his actions just and clear;
He whose words the truth express, spoken from a heart sincere.
He who ne'er with slandering tongue utters malice and deceit;
Who will ne'er his neighbor wrong, nor a sland'rous tale repeat.
Who will claim no usury, Nor with bribes pollute his hand;
He who thus shall frame his life, shall unmoved forever stand.
