PSALM 107 sung acapella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland) Recorded at Glasgow Reformed Presbyterian Church.

10 Some sat in darkness and in gloom,
in chains of iron held;
11 They scorned the ways of God Most High,
against his words rebelled
.
12 And so he made them labour hard
in bitterness and shame.
They stumbled, and they could not rise;
to help them no one came.

13 Then to the LORD they cried for help;
he saved them from their doom.
14 He broke away their cruel chains
and brought them out of gloom.

15 So let them thank him for his love,
the deeds which he achieves—
16 Because he breaks down gates of bronze
and iron bars he cleaves.

10 All those who know your name, O LORD,
in you their trust will place,
For you do not abandon those
who seek your gracious face.

11 Sing praises to the LORD who sits
in Zion on his throne;
Among the nations of the world
proclaim what he has done.

Text: Psalm 8 from 'Psalms for Singing – A 21st Century Edition (2004)'
Produced by the Reformed Presbyterian church of Ireland.

3	When I look up unto the heav’ns,
		which your own fingers made,
		unto the moon and to the stars,
		which you in order laid,

	4	O, what is man, that you should him
		in kind remembrance bear?
		Or what the son of man, indeed,
		that you for him should care?

	5	For you a little lower than
		the angels have him made,
		a crown of glory and renown
		have placed upon his head.

	6	You made him lord of your hands’ works,
		put all beneath his feet:
		the animals within the field,
		the cattle and the sheep,

	7	Birds of the air, fish of the sea,
		all through the seas that swim.
		How excellent in all the earth,
		LORD, our Lord, is your name.

Psalm 8 (Tune: Perfect Way)

Who go to sea in ships, and in
great waters trading be,
Within the deep these men God's works
and his great wonders see.

For he commands, and forth in haste
the stormy tempest flies,
Which makes the sea with rolling waves
aloft to swell and rise.

They mount to heav'n, then to the depths
they do go down again;
Their soul doth faint and melt away
with trouble and with pain.

They reel and stagger like one drunk,
at their wit's end they be:
Then they to God in trouble cry,
who them from straits doth free.

The storm is changed into a calm
at his command and will;
So that the waves, which raged before,
now quiet are and still.

Then are they glad, because at rest
and quiet now they be:
So to the haven he them brings,
which they desired to see.

   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.

2  Me cleanse from sin, and thoroughly wash
         from mine iniquity:
   3  For my transgressions I confess;
         my sin I ever see.
  
   7  Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,
         I shall be cleansed so;
      Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall
         be whiter than the snow.

   8  Of gladness and of joyfulness
         make me to hear the voice;
      That so these very bones which thou
         hast broken may rejoice.

   9  All mine iniquities blot out,
         thy face hide from my sin.
  10  Create a clean heart, Lord, renew
         a right sp'rit me within.

1  Give ear unto me when I call,
         God of my righteousness:
      Have mercy, hear my pray'r; thou hast
         enlarged me in distress.
     
6  O who will show us any good?

7  Upon my heart, bestowed by thee,
         more gladness I have found
      Than they, ev'n then, when corn and wine
         did most with them abound.
   
8  I will both lay me down in peace,

1  Lord, thee my God, I'll early seek:
         my soul doth thirst for thee;
      My flesh longs in a dry parched land,
         wherein no waters be:

   2  That I thy power may behold,
         and brightness of thy face,
      As I have seen thee heretofore
         within thy holy place.

   3  Since better is thy love than life,
         my lips thee praise shall give.
   4  I in thy name will lift my hands,
         and bless thee while I live.

   5  Ev'n as with marrow and with fat
         my soul shall filled be;
      Then shall my mouth with joyful lips
         sing praises unto thee:

      But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make
   4  Return, O Lord, my soul set free;
      O save me, for thy mercies' sake.

   5  Because those that deceased are
      Of thee shall no remembrance have;
      And who is he that will to thee
      Give praises lying in the grave?

      Have caused for to swim; and I
      With tears my couch have watered.

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.

		That on the beauty of the LORD

		And in his house may seek to know

	5	For in his dwelling he will keep

		Within his tent he’ll shelter me,

	6	My head will then be lifted high
			above my enemies;
		And in his tent I’ll sacrifice

    But altogether, lo, O Lord,
       it is well known to thee.

 7  From thy Sp'rit whither shall I go?

 8  Ascend I heav'n, lo, thou art there;

Psalm 12 sung a capella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: (11 10 11 10) Tune by Loys Bourgeois 1551 from the Anlo-Genevan psalter(aka DONNE SECOURS).

1 Help, LORD, because the godly have quite vanished,
and faithful folk we can no longer see.
2 Each one tells falsehood even to his neighbour;
with flattering lips they speak deceitfully.

3 Now may the LORD cut off all lips which flatter,
and every tongue which speaks with boastful word.
4 Such people say, “We with our tongues will triumph;
we own our lips—who then can be our lord?”

5 “Because the weak have suffered great oppression,
and I have heard the needy’s groaning cries,
Now I will guard them from those who malign them.
To help them,” says the LORD, “I will arise.”

7 O LORD, you will preserve us safe for ever
and from this evil age keep us secure;
8 For here the wicked strut about quite freely,
and praise is giv’n to all that is impure.

16 Do not quake before a rich man, though his fortune grows immense,
And his outward state increases— 17 for he will take nothing hence.

He will soon descend with nothing of the splendour he possessed,
18 Though in life he prospered greatly and they told him he was blessed.
19 He will go to join his fathers— never see the light of day.
