Tune: Beatitudo
(one tune to: 'O for a closer walk with God')
Psalm 15
*******
Lord, who shall in your tent abide?
[In] Tabernacle reside?
Who shall dwell in your holy hill?
And know your presence still
They that walk uprightly, and they
Work righteousness each day
They that speak the truth in their heart
From lies, falsehood depart
They that backbite not with their tongue
To you with it they sung
Nor do they evil to neighbour
Nor reproach nor demur
They in whose eyes a vile person
Is condemned, evil one
They who do honour them that fear
The Lord, and know Him near
They that to their own hurt do swear
When troubles they forbear
They will not change their word, but do
What they say unto you
They who put not out their money
To interest, usury
Nor reward against innocent
Do they take, not a cent
They who do these things, they shall ne'er
Be moved, but blessings share
They obtain help from Christ their Lord
Trusting His living word

I've gone American - cent (verse 6)!
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
wasn't it denarius or shekels .. or sumpfink .. I'm pretty sure cents came a whole lot later .. and of course you got a whole lot more for your dollar ...
Thanks N. Yes, denarius and shekel and other coinage too I think.
