Psalm 67 (8.7.8.7) from Sing Psalms (2003) sung to the tune Stuttgart

Recording from a presbytery-wide prayer meeting of the Free Presbytery of Glasgow and Argyll

1 God be merciful and bless us;
shine upon us with your face,
2 That the earth may know your actions
and all lands your saving grace.

3 O God, may the peoples praise you;
may all peoples sing your praise.
4 For you judge the nations justly,
ruling over every race.

May they sing with joy and gladness;
may they all rejoice as one.
5 O God, may the peoples praise you
as they all unite in song.

6 Then the land will yield its harvest;
God will pour his gifts abroad.
7 God, our God, will surely bless us;
all the earth will fear our God.


Psalm 67 (Tune: Stuttgart)

Psalm 32 (8.6.8.8.6) from Sing Psalms (2003) sung to the tune Orlington

Recording from the Free Church Youth Conference

1 How blessed the one who has received
forgiveness for his sin!
2 Whose sins are covered from God’s face,
Whose debt is cancelled in God’s grace;
there’s no deceit in him.

3 When I kept silent, all my bones
with groaning were worn out.
4 Beneath your hand I felt entrapped
Both day and night; my strength was sapped
as in a summer drought.

5 Then I laid bare my sin to you,
the guilt that lay within.
I said, “O LORD, I have transgressed”—
And you forgave when I confessed;
you pardoned all my sin.

6 So let the godly pray to you
while you are to be found.
Surely when waves are sweeping past
And mighty waters rising fast,
you’ll keep them safe and sound.

7 You are my hiding-place, O LORD,
my true security.
You keep me safe in troubled days;
You circle me with joyful praise
when you have set me free.


Psalm 32:1-7 (Tune: Orlington)

Psalm 130 (C.M) from Sing Psalms (2003) sung to the tune Martyrdom

Recording from the Free Church Youth Conference

1 LORD, from the depths I call to you;
2 Lord, hear me from on high
And give attention to my voice
when I for mercy cry.

3 LORD, in your presence who can stand,
if you our sins record?
4 But yet forgiveness is with you,
that we may fear you, LORD.

5 I wait—my soul waits—for the LORD;
my hope is in his word.
6 More than the watchman waits for dawn
my soul waits for the Lord.

7 O Isr’el, put your hope in God,
for mercy is with him
8 And full redemption. From their sins
his people he’ll redeem.


Psalm 130 (Tune: Martyrdom)

Psalm 30 (C.M) from Sing Psalms (2003) sung to the tune Wetherby

Recording from the Free Church Youth Conference

1 O LORD, I will exalt your name
for you have rescued me;
You did not let my foes rejoice
and gloat triumphantly.

2 LORD God, in need I cried to you
and you restored my health.
3 O LORD, you brought me from the grave
and saved my soul from death.

4 You holy ones, sing to the LORD;
sing out with joyful voice.
When you recall his holy name,
then praise him and rejoice.

5 His anger but a moment lasts;
life-long his favour stays.
Though tears may last throughout the night,
joy comes with morning’s rays.

Psalm 30:1-4 (Tune: Wetherby)

Psalm 113 (Sing Psalms), sung to the tune Veni Emmanuel

1 O praise, you servants of the LORD;
Sing praises to his holy name.
2 O blessèd be the name of God;
His praise for evermore proclaim.
3 From east to west the praise of God
Each day is to be spread abroad.

4 The LORD is high above the earth,
His glory far above the sky.
5 Who else is like the LORD our God,
The one who sits enthroned on high?
6 He is the one who stoops down low
To look on heav’n and earth below.

7 He raises outcasts from the dust
And from the ash-heap lifts the poor,
8 Exalting them to dignity,
With noblemen to sit secure.
9 The childless woman he’ll reward
With home and children. Praise the LORD!
