Description of a Citizen of Zion

A Psalm of David.


[1]	JEHOVAH, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? 1 Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
[2]	He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;
[3]	He 2 that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;
[4]	In whose 3 eyes a reprobate is despised, But who 4 honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He 5 that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;
[5]	He 6 that putteth not out his money to interest, Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
