Psalm 16v8-11 (Sing Psalms version) to the tune Golden Hill. Sung at the Free Church Youth Conference, March 2023

8  Before me constantly
I set the LORD alone.
Because he is at my right hand
I’ll not be overthrown.

9  Therefore my heart is glad;
my tongue with joy will sing.
My body too will rest secure
in hope unwavering.

10  For you will not allow
my soul in death to stay,
Nor will you leave your Holy One
to see the tomb’s decay.

11 You have made known to me
the path of life divine.
Bliss shall I know at your right hand;
joy from your face will shine.

How long must I be sad each day    
in deep perplexity?   
How long will my opponent stand    
in triumph over me?   

3 O LORD my God, consider me    
and give me your reply.   
Light up my eyes or I will sleep    
the sleep of those who die.   

4 Then would my enemy declare,    
“At last I’ve laid him low!”   
And so my foes would sing for joy    
to see my overthrow.   

5 But still I trust your constant love;    
you save and set me free.  
6 With joy I will extol the LORD    
who has been good to me.

Psalm 13 (Tune - St Kilda)

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.

1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock;
Do not be deaf to my loud cry.
I’ll be like those gone down to death,
If you are silent in reply.

2 Receive my plea for mercy, LORD,
As now I call to you for grace,
As I lift up my hands in prayer
And look to your Most Holy Place.

6 Praise to the LORD, for he has heard
The plea for mercy which I made.
7 He is my strength, he is my shield;
I trust in him who sends me aid.

9 LORD, save your people, your own flock;
Be pleased your heritage to bless.
Be their good shepherd; carry them
For ever in your faithfulness.

Psalm 28 v1-2, 6-9 (Tune: Walton)

Psalm 79 sung acapella from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650

9  For thy name's glory help us, Lord,
         who hast our Savior been:
      Deliver us; for thy name's sake,
         O purge away our sin.

  10  Why say the heathen, where's their God?
         let him to them be known;
      When those who shed thy servants' blood
         are in our sight o'erthrown.

  11  O let the pris'ner's sighs ascend
         before thy sight on high;
      Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r
         that are designed to die.

  13  So we thy folk, and pasture-sheep,
         shall give thee thanks always;
      And unto generations all
         we will show forth thy praise.

Psalm 79 (Tune:  Culross)

Psalm 106 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 23rd Glasgow Psalmody Recital (1994), used with permission.


  1  Give praise and thanks unto the Lord,
        for bountiful is he;
     His tender mercy doth endure
        unto eternity.

  2  God's mighty works who can express?
        or shew forth all his praise?
  3  Blessed are they that judgment keep,
        and justly do always.

  4  Remember me, Lord, with that love
        which thou to thine dost bear;
     With thy salvation, O my God,
        to visit me draw near:

  5  That I thy chosen's good may see,
        and in their joy rejoice;
     And may with thine inheritance
        triumph with cheerful voice.

Psalm 106 v1-5 (Tune: Caithness)
