Poetry

---

Who shall sojourn in Your tent, Lord?
Who shall dwell on Your holy hill?
The one who walks in one accord,
Speaking to others to instill.

Someone who would walk blamelessly,
And will speak the truth in his heart;
Does whatever is righteously,
From his lips and tongue to impart.

Who does not slander with his tongue,
And no evil to his neighbor;
Nor takes up reproach that is flung,
Rather helps out in their labor.

In his eyes loathsome is despised,
But honors those who fear the Lord;
Swears to his own not criticized,
Comforts the hurt healing assured.

He gives his money at interest,
But never will he take a bribe;
He does these things to those entrust,
Unto how the Word does inscribe.
