1     Lord, haste me to deliver;
         with speed, Lord, succor me.
   2  Let them that for my soul do seek
         shamed and confounded be:

         Turned back be they, and shamed,
         that in my hurt delight.
   3  Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
         their shaming to requite.

   4     In thee let all be glad,
         and joy that seek for thee:
      Let them who thy salvation love
         say still, God praisèd be.

   5     I poor and needy am;
         come, Lord, and make no stay:
      My help thou and deliv'rer art;
         O Lord, make no delay.

Psalm 34 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

11  O children, hither do ye come,
         and unto me give ear;
      I shall you teach to understand
         how ye the Lord should fear.

  12  What man is he that life desires,
         to see good would live long?
  13  Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,
         and from ill words thy tongue.

  14  Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,
         pursue it earnestly.
  15  God's eyes are on the just; his ears
         are open to their cry.

  16  The face of God is set against
         those that do wickedly,
      That he may quite out from the earth
         cut off their memory.

  17  The righteous cry unto the Lord,
         he unto them gives ear;
      And they out of their troubles all
         by him delivered are.

  18  The Lord is ever nigh to them
         that be of broken sp'rit;
      To them he safety doth afford
         that are in heart contrite.

	1	Praise the LORD, my soul! O praise him!
	2		I’ll extol him all my days.
		While I live, to God my Saviour
			from my heart I will sing praise.

	3	Do not put your trust in princes,
			mortal men who cannot save.
	4	All their plans will come to nothing
			when they perish in the grave.

	5	Blessèd is the one who truly
			looks for help to Jacob’s God;
		Blessèd is the one who places
			all his hope upon the LORD—

	6	He who made the earth and heaven
			and the seas, with all their store;
		He who keeps his every promise,
			who is faithful evermore.

	7	He delivers from oppression
			and relieves the hungry’s plight.
		He releases those in prison;
	8		to the blind the LORD gives sight.

Psalm 146 (Tune: Laus Deo)

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650)  Recorded at Arbroath FCC Youth weekend(Meter: CM)

1  In Judah's land God is well known,
         his name's in Isr'el great:
   2  In Salem is his tabernacle,
         in Zion is his seat.

   3  There arrows of the bow he brake,
         the shield, the sword, the war.
   4  More glorious thou than hills of prey,
         more excellent art far.

   6  When thy rebuke, O Jacob's God,
         had forth against them past,
      Their horses and their chariots both
         were in a dead sleep cast.

   7  Thou, Lord, ev'n thou art he that should
         be feared; and who is he
      That may stand up before thy sight,
         if once thou angry be?

Psalm 76 (Tune: Martyrs)

Psalm 143 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 30th Glasgow Recital 2001 by a Free Church of Scotland Choir, used with permission. Meter: 66.66D

6  Lo, I do stretch my hands
       To thee, my help alone;
    For thou well understands
       All my complaint and moan:
    My thirsting soul desires,
       And longeth after thee,
    As thirsty ground requires
       With rain refreshed to be.

 7  Lord, let my pray'r prevail,
       To answer it make speed;
    For, lo, my sp'rit doth fail:
       Hide not thy face in need;
    Lest I be like to those
       That do in darkness sit,
    Or him that downward goes
       Into the dreadful pit.

 8  Because I trust in thee,
       O Lord, cause me to hear
    Thy loving-kindness free,
       When morning doth appear:
    Cause me to know the way
       Wherein my path should be;
    For why, my soul on high
       I do lift up to thee.

Psalm 143 (Tune: Hawarden)

The name of God I with a song
         most cheerfully will praise;
      And I, in giving thanks to him,
         his name shall highly raise.

  33  For God the poor hears, and will not
         his prisoners contemn.
  34  Let heav'n, and earth, and seas, him praise,
         and all that move in them.

  35  For God will Judah's cities build,
         and he will Zion save,
      That they may dwell therein, and it
         in sure possession have.

  36  And they that are his servants' seed
         inherit shall the same;
      So shall they have their dwelling there
         that love his blessèd name.

23  My strength he weakened in the way,
        My days of life he shortened.
 24  My God, O take me not away
        In mid-time of my days, I said:

     Thy years throughout all ages last.
 25      Of old thou hast established
     The earth's foundation firm and fast:
        Thy mighty hands the heav'ns have made.

 26  They perish shall, as garments do,
        But thou shalt evermore endure;
     As vestures, thou shalt change them so;
        And they shall all be changed sure:

 27  But from all changes thou art free;
        Thy endless years do last for aye.
 28  Thy servants, and their seed who be,
        Established shall before thee stay.

Psalm 23 (Scottish Psalter) to Loch Broom (as commonly sung)

Psalm 23 - Loch Broom [1650 SP] (C.M)

Text from the Scottish Psalter of 1650

 32  O all ye kingdoms of the earth,
         sing praises to this King;
      For he is Lord that ruleth all,
         unto him praises sing.

  33  To him that rides on heav'ns of heav'ns,
         which he of old did found;
      Lo, he sends out his voice, a voice
         in might that doth abound.

  34  Strength unto God do ye ascribe;
         for his excellency
      Is over Israel, his strength
         is in the clouds most high.
  
35  Thou'rt from thy temple dreadful, Lord;
         Isr'el's own God is he,
      Who gives his people strength and pow'r:
         O let God blessed be.
