Psalm 15

Domine, quis habitabit?

Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle *

or who shall rest upon thy holy hill?

Even he that leadeth an uncorrupt life *

and doeth the thing which is right, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

He that hath used no deceit in his tongue, nor done evil to his neighbour *

and hath not slandered his neighbour.

He that setteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own eyes *

and maketh much of them that fear the Lord.

He that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not *

though it were to his own hindrance.

He that hath not given his money upon usury *

nor taken reward against the innocent.

Whoso doeth these things *

shall never fall.

Psalm 16

Conserva me, Domine

Preserve me, O God *

for in thee have I put my trust.

O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord *

Thou art my God, my goods are nothing unto thee.

All my delight is upon the saints, that are in the earth *

and upon such as excel in virtue.

But they that run after another god *

shall have great trouble.

Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer *

neither make mention of their names within my lips.

The Lord himself is the portion of mine inheritance, and of my cup *

thou shalt maintain my lot.

The lot is fallen unto me in a fair ground *

yea, I have a goodly heritage.

I will thank the Lord for giving me warning *

my reins also chasten me in the night-season.

I have set God always before me *

for he is on my right hand, therefore I shall not fall.

Wherefore my heart was glad, and my glory rejoiced *

my flesh also shall rest in hope.

For why? thou shalt not leave my soul in hell *

neither shalt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

Thou shalt shew me the path of life; in thy presence is the fulness of joy *

and at thy right hand there is pleasure for evermore.
