Psalm 139 (Tune: St Columba)[accompanied]

1 Protect me, O my God;
you are my refuge true.
2 I said, “You are my Lord: I have
no good apart from you.”

5 O LORD, you are to me
my cup and portion sure;
The share that is assigned to me
you guard and keep secure.

6 The land allotted me
is in a pleasant site;
And surely my inheritance
to me is a delight.

Jubilate, Everybody!

5 God is within his holy place;
the city will not yield,
For God will come at break of day
to be her help and shield.

6 The nations are in disarray;
the kingdoms disappear.
God speaks, and at his mighty voice
the whole earth melts with fear.

10 Be still, and know that I am God,
on earth exalted high;
And all the nations of the world
my name will glorify.

11 The LORD Almighty is with us
to strengthen and sustain;
For Jacob’s God our strong defence
and fortress will remain.

Psalm 46 v5-6, 10-11 (Tune: Irish)

paraphrase of Psalm 149

Bring to the Lord a glad new song,
children of grace extol your king:
your love and praise to God belong -
to instruments of music, sing!
Let those be warned who spurn God's name,
let rulers all obey God's word,
for justice shall bring tyrants shame -
let every creature praise the Lord!

Sing praise within these hallowed walls,
worship beneath the dome of heaven;
by cymbals' sounds and trumpets' calls
let praises fit for God be given:
with strings and brass and wind rejoice -
then, join our song in full accord
all living things with breath and voice;
let every creature praise the Lord!

Psalm 149 (Tune: Jerusalem) [accompanied]

Sung to an Algerian tune.

By the Babylonian rivers 
We sat down in grief and wept;
Hung our harps upon the willow,
Mourned for Zion when we slept.

2 There our captors in derision
Did require of us a song;
So we sat with staring vision,
And the days were hard and long.

3 How shall we sing the Lord's song
In a strange and bitter land;
Can our voices veil the sorrow?
Lord God, hold your holy band.

4 Let the Cross be benediction
For those bound in tyranny;
By the power of resurrection
Loose them from captivity.

7 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.
8 But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might
and strong in battle is.

9 Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.
10 But who is he that is the King
of glory? who is this?
The Lord of hosts, and none but he,
the King of glory is.

97 O LORD, how much I love your holy law!
I meditate upon it all the day.
98 It makes me wiser than my enemies,
For your commandments ever with me stay.

99 I have more insight than my teachers have,
For on your laws I meditate each day.
100 I’ve more discernment than the elders have,
Because your righteous precepts I obey.

101 I’ve kept my feet from every evil path,
That I may be obedient to your word;
102 And I have not departed from your laws,
For you yourself have taught me this, O LORD.

103 How pleasing to my taste are all your words!
More sweet they are than honey on my tongue.
104 From your commands I gain enlightenment;
So I reject and hate each path that’s wrong.

Psalm 103 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland.

For he remembers we are dust,
        and he our frame well knows.
 15  Frail man, his days are like the grass,
        as flow'r in field he grows:

 16  For over it the wind doth pass,
        and it away is gone;
     And of the place where once it was
        it shall no more be known.

 17  But unto them that do him fear
        God's mercy never ends;
     And to their children's children still
        his righteousness extends:

 18  To such as keep his covenant,
        and mindful are alway
     Of his most just commandements,
        that they may them obey.

Psalm 103 v14-18(Tune: Kilmarnock)

Psalm 103 sung a capella from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

2  Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
        and not forgetful be
     Of all his gracious benefits
        he hath bestowed on thee.

  8  The Lord our God is merciful,
        and he is gracious,
     Long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
        in mercy plenteous.

9  He will not chide continually,
        nor keep his anger still.
 10  With us he dealt not as we sinned,
        nor did requite our ill.

11  For as the heaven in its height
        the earth surmounteth far;
     So great to those that do him fear
         his tender mercies are:

 12  As far as east is distant from
        the west, so far hath he
     From us removed, in his love,
        all our iniquity.

1 I joyed when to the house of God,
Go up, they said to me.
2 Jerusalem, within thy gates
our feet shall standing be.

3 Jerus'lem, as a city, is
compactly built together:
4 Unto that place the tribes go up,
the tribes of God go thither:

To Isr'el's testimony, there
to God's name thanks to pay.
5 For thrones of judgment, ev'n the thrones
of David's house, there stay.

6 Pray that Jerusalem may have
peace and felicity:
Let them that love thee and thy peace
have still prosperity.

 5  I of thy glorious majesty
        the honor will record;
     I'll speak of all thy mighty works,
        which wondrous are, O Lord.

  6  Men of thine acts the might shall show,
        thine acts that dreadful are;
     And I, thy glory to advance,
        thy greatness will declare.

  7  The mem'ry of thy goodness great

7  God's law is perfect, and converts
         the soul in sin that lies:
      God's testimony is most sure,
         and makes the simple wise.

   8  The statutes of the Lord are right,
         and do rejoice the heart:
      The Lord's command is pure, and doth
         light to the eyes impart.

   9  Unspotted is the fear of God,
         and doth endure for ever:
      The judgments of the Lord are true
         and righteous altogether.

  10  They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
         to be desired are:
      Than honey, honey from the comb
         that droppeth, sweeter far.

  11  Moreover, they thy servant warn
         how he his life should frame:
      A great reward provided is
         for them that keep the same.

 23  Nevertheless continually,
         O Lord, I am with thee:
      Thou dost me hold by my right hand,
         and still upholdest me.

  24  Thou, with thy counsel, while I live,
         wilt me conduct and guide;
      And to thy glory afterward
         receive me to abide.

  25  Whom have I in the heavens high
         but thee, O Lord, alone?
      And in the earth whom I desire
         besides thee there is none.

  26  My flesh and heart doth faint and fail,

      For of my heart God is the strength
         and portion for ever.

  27  For, lo, they that are far from thee
         for ever perish shall;
      Them that a whoring from thee go
         thou hast destroyed all.

  28  But surely it is good for me

1  I love the Lord, because my voice
       and prayers he did hear.
 2  I, while I live, will call on him,
       who bowed to me his ear.

 3  Of death the cords and sorrows did
       about me compass round;
    The pains of hell took hold on me,
       I grief and trouble found.

 4  Upon the name of God the Lord
       then did I call, and say,
    Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,
       I do thee humbly pray.

 5  God merciful and righteous is,
       yea, gracious is our Lord.
 6  God saves the meek: I was brought low,
       he did me help afford.

 7  O thou my soul, do thou return
       unto thy quiet rest;
    For largely, lo, the Lord to thee
       his bounty hath expressed.

 8  For my distressed soul from death
       delivered was by thee:
    Thou didst my mourning eyes from tears,
       my feet from falling, free.

   2  Day utters speech to day, and night
         to night doth knowledge teach.

   3  There is no speech nor tongue to which

   4  Their line is gone through all the earth,

   5     Who, bridegroom-like, forth goes
      From's chamber, as a strong man doth
         to run his race rejoice.

   6  From heav'n's end is his going forth,
         circling to th' end again;
      And there is nothing from his heat
         that hidden doth remain.

         to be my King appointed;
      And over Zion, my holy hill,
         I have him King anointed.

   7  The sure decree I will declare:
         The Lord hath said to me,
      Thou art mine only Son; this day
         I have begotten thee.

   8  Ask of me, and for heritage
         the heathen I'll make thine;
      And, for possession, I to thee
         will give earth's utmost line.

Psalm 24 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the Free Church of Scotland Inverness Festival of Psalms 2000.

7 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

8 But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might
and strong in battle is.

9 Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

10 But who is he that is the King
of glory? who is this?
The Lord of hosts, and none but he,
the King of glory is.

Hallelujah... Amen...

Psalm 24 (Tune: St. Georges Edinburgh)

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650)  (Meter: CM)

1  How excellent in all the earth,
         Lord, our Lord, is thy name!
      Who hast thy glory far advanced
         above the starry frame.

 3  When I look up unto the heav'ns,
         which thine own fingers framed,
      Unto the moon, and to the stars,
         which were by thee ordained;

   4  Then say I, What is man, that he
         remembered is by thee?
      Or what the son of man, that thou
         so kind to him should'st be?

   5  For thou a little lower hast
         him than the angels made;
      With glory and with dignity
         thou crowned hast his head.

   6  Of thy hands' works thou mad'st him lord,
         all under's feet didst lay;
   7  All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts
         that in the field do stray;

   8  Fowls of the air, fish of the sea,
         all that pass through the same.
   9  How excellent in all the earth,
         Lord, our Lord, is thy name!

Psalm 8 (Tune: Richmond)

(reproduced with permission) Copyright: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland)

( L.M.)
1 All nations, clap your hands and shout!
Let joyful cries to God ring out!
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High,
Great King who rules the earth throughout!

3 He has subdued beneath our feet
The nations who had been our foes.
4 In blessing Jacob, whom he loved,
A heritage for us he chose.

5 God has gone up with shouts of joy,
The LORD amid the trumpets’ sound.
6 Sing praise, sing praise to God Most High;
To God our King let praise abound.

7 For God is King of all the earth;
Sing psalms of praise to him alone.
8 God rules the nations from on high;
He sits upon his holy throne.

9 The leaders of the nations come
To yield themselves to Abr’ham’s God.
To him belong the shields of earth;
Exalted greatly is the LORD!

Psalm 1 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded at Dowanvale free church.

 1  That man hath perfect blessedness,
         who walketh not astray
      In counsel of ungodly men,
         nor stands in sinners' way,

   2  Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:
         But placeth his delight
      Upon God's law, and meditates
         on his law day and night.

   3  He shall be like a tree that grows
         near planted by a river,
      Which in his season yields his fruit,
         and his leaf fadeth never:

   4  And all he doth shall prosper well
         The wicked are not so;
      But like they are unto the chaff,
         which wind drives to and fro.

   5  In judgment therefore shall not stand
         such as ungodly are; 
      Nor in th' assembly of the just
         shall wicked men appear.

   6  For why? the way of godly men
         unto the Lord is known:
      Whereas the way of wicked men
         shall quite be overthrown.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

1  The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
   2     He makes me down to lie
      In pastures green: he leadeth me
         the quiet waters by.

   3  My soul he doth restore again;
         and me to walk doth make
      Within the paths of righteousness,
         ev'n for his own name's sake.

   4  Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
         yet will I fear none ill:
      For thou art with me; and thy rod
         and staff me comfort still.

   5  My table thou hast furnished
         in presence of my foes;
      My head thou dost with oil anoint,
         and my cup overflows.

   6  Goodness and mercy all my life
         shall surely follow me:
      And in God's house for evermore
         my dwelling-place shall be.

Psalm 118 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Sung by Dowanvale Free Church.

24  This is the day God made, in it
       we'll joy triumphantly.
25  Save now, I pray thee, Lord; I pray,
       send now prosperity.

26  Blessed is he in God's great name
       that cometh us to save:
    We, from the house which to the Lord
       pertains, you blessed have.

27  God is the Lord, who unto us
       hath made light to arise:
    Bind ye unto the altar's horns
       with cords the sacrifice.

28  Thou art my God, I'll thee exalt;
       my God, I will thee praise.
29  Give thanks to God, for he is good:
       his mercy lasts always.

Psalm 24 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)Recorded @ Arbroath Youth Weekend Feb 2013

 1  The earth belongs unto the Lord,
         and all that it contains;
      The world that is inhabited,
         and all that there remains.

   2  For the foundations thereof
         he on the seas did lay,
      And he hath it established
         upon the floods to stay.

   3  Who is the man that shall ascend
         into the hill of God?
      Or who within his holy place
         shall have a firm abode?

   4  Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure,
         and unto vanity
      Who hath not lifted up his soul,
         nor sworn deceitfully.

   5  He from th' Eternal shall receive
         the blessing him upon,
      And righteousness, ev'n from the God
         of his salvation.

PSALM 40 sung acapella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at a free church choir in 2000.

 2  He took me from a fearful pit,
         and from the miry clay,
      And on a rock he set my feet,
         establishing my way.

   3  He put a new song in my mouth,
         our God to magnify:
      Many shall see it, and shall fear,
         and on the Lord rely.

4  O blessed is the man whose trust
         upon the Lord relies;
      Respecting not the proud, nor such
         as turn aside to lies.

Psalm 40  v2-4(Tune: Ayrshire)
