Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM)

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.

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

 13  Such pity as a father hath
        unto his children dear;
     Like pity shews the Lord to such
        as worship him in fear.

Psalm 103 v8-13  (Tune: St Paul)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Sung by Inverness, Free North, Free Church of Scotland.

 21  All praise and thanks be to the Lord;
         for he hath magnified
      His wondrous love to me within
         a city fortified.

  22  For from thine eyes cut off I am,
         I in my haste had said;
      My voice yet heard'st thou, when to thee
         with cries my moan I made.
 
 23  O love the Lord, all ye his saints;
         because the Lord doth guard
      The faithful, and he plenteously
         proud doers doth reward.

  24  Be of good courage, and He strength
         unto your heart shall send,
      All ye whose hope and confidence
         doth on the Lord depend.

Psalm 31 v21-24 (Tune: St Lawrence)

   Th' afflicted's pray'r he will not scorn.
 18      All times this shall be on record:
     And generations yet unborn
        Shall praise and magnify the Lord.

 19  He from his holy place looked down,
        The earth he viewed from heav'n on high;
 20  To hear the pris'ner's mourning groan,
        And free them that are doomed to die;

 21  That Zion, and Jerus'lem too,
        His name and praise may well record,
 22  When people and the kingdoms do
        Assemble all to praise the Lord.

Psalm 25 - Selma

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. 

 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
        they largely shall express;
     With songs of praise they shall extol
        thy perfect righteousness.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

1  Be merciful to me, O God;
         thy mercy unto me
      Do thou extend; because my soul
         doth put her trust in thee:

      Yea, in the shadow of thy wings
         my refuge I will place,
      Until these sad calamities
         do wholly overpass.

   2  My cry I will cause to ascend
         unto the Lord most high;
      To God, who doth all things for me
         perform most perfectly.

   3  From heav'n he shall send down, and me
         from his reproach defend
      That would devour me: God his truth
         and mercy forth shall send.

Psalm 32 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at Inverness Festival of Psalms (2000), used with permission. Meter: CM

1  O blessed is the man to whom
         is freely pardoned
      All the transgression he hath done,
         whose sin is covered.

   2  Blessèd is the man to whom the Lord
         imputeth not his sin,
      And in whose sp'rit there is no guile,
         nor fraud is found therein.

   3  When as I did refrain my speech,
         and silent was my tongue,
      My bones then waxed old, because
         I roared all day long.

   4  For upon me both day and night
         thine hand did heavy lie,
      So that my moisture turned is
         in summer's drought thereby. 

   5  I thereupon have unto thee
         my sin acknowledged,
      And likewise mine iniquity
         I have not covered: 

      I will confess unto the Lord
         my trespasses, said I;
      And of my sin thou freely didst
         forgive th' iniquity.

Psalm 139 sung acapella from the Scottish Psalter (1650) Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM)

1  O Lord, thou hast me searched and known.
 2      Thou know'st my sitting down,
    And rising up; yea, all my thoughts
       afar to thee are known.

  4  For in my tongue, before I speak,
       not any word can be,
    But altogether, lo, O Lord,
       it is well known to thee.

 7  From thy Sp'rit whither shall I go?
       or from thy presence fly?
 8  Ascend I heav'n, lo, thou art there;
       there, if in hell I lie.

 9  Take I the morning wings, and dwell
       in utmost parts of sea;
10  Ev'n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead,
       thy right hand hold shall me.

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)
