O Lord, who may ^(a)abide ^(A)in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your ^(B)holy hill?

^{Tools

He who ^(C)walks with integrity, and works righteousness,
And ^(D)speaks truth in his heart.

^{Tools
3}

He ^(E)does not slander ^(b)with his tongue,
Nor ^(F)does evil to his neighbor,
Nor ^(G)takes up a reproach against his friend;

^{Tools

In ^(c)whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But ^(d)who ^(H)honors those who fear the Lord;
He ^(I)swears to his own hurt and does not change;

^{Tools

He ^(J)does not put out his money ^(e)at interest,
Nor ^(K)does he take a bribe against the innocent.
^(L)He who does these things will never be shaken.
