No.55 (Robert White) "Lorde who shall dwell in thy tabernacle" --- Psalm 15
From here, the scribe returns to the dau and at the same time the Latin motet becomes an English motet.
At that time, before the publication of The King James Version, I wonder which English translations of the Bible were used by 16th century composers. Since I do not have that knowledge, I decided to use the Great Bible, which is the best approximation using a site that provides comparative references to several Bibles, and to correct some details.
bar1-7 : Lorde, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle?
bar8-11 : or who shall rest vpon thy holy hyll?
bar11-21 : Euen he yt leadeth an vncorrupt life, and dooth the thing yt is right,
bar21-27 : & speaketh the truthe from his hart.
bar27-32 : He yt hath vsed no deceipt in his tongue,
bar32-39 : now done euel to his neyghbour, and hath not slaundered his neighbowr.
bar39-48 : He that setteth not by him selfe: but is lowlie in his own eies,
bar48-58 : & maketh much of them that feare the Lorde: he that sweareth to his neighbor,
bar58-67 : & disappointeth him not, though it were to his own hinderaunce.
bar67-75 : He yt hath not giuen his mony vpon vsurie, nor taken reward ageinst the innocent.
bar75-82 : Who so doth these things, shall neuer fall.
bar82-85 : Amen.
