Psalm 11 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded by Michael E. Owens More available at: http://www.wordmp3.com/speakers/profile.aspx?id=905

1  I in the Lord do put my trust:
       how is it then that ye
    Say to my soul, Flee, as a bird,
       unto your mountain high? 

 2  For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,
       their shafts on string they fit,
    That those who upright are in heart
       they privily may hit.

 3  If the foundations be destroyed,
       what hath the righteous done?
 4  God in his holy temple is,
       in heaven is his throne:

Psalm 142 (Coleshill)

I drift when I sleep
Written, recorded and performed by Pages in Clouds 2025

I been walkin’ through the city like a ghost with breath,
Heartbeat loud but I’m already close to death.
Not the coffin type, nah, this a mental slide,
Smiles fake, so I learned how to live inside.
They don’t hear me when I speak, so I mumble to pain,
Street full of people but I’m alone in the rain.
THEY said “pray,” but my prayers feel tired,
God seen my messages, left ‘em on read, I’m wired.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep,


I don’t fit in the daylight, too much judgment,
Every move I make they weigh it, give it punishment.
So I fade when the sun up, breathe when it’s dark,
Only time I feel human is alone with my heart.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed.
Hide from the living, they don’t understand,
In my dreamworld, yeah, I finally stand.
No lies, no masks, no weight on my chest,
If I don’t wake up, just know I’m at rest.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep,

Dreamworld got colors I ain’t seen before,
Skies don’t judge me, doors open, not doors.
I talk to my younger self, tell him “hold on,”
Tell him “you ain’t weak, you just been strong too long.”
In real life they say “man up,” “don’t cry,”


I see faces I lost, they ain’t cold, they smile,
Tell me “you gon’ be okay, just stay awhile.”
No sirens, no bills, no chains on my mind,
No clocks tickin’, no pressure from time.
Out here I’m survivin’, in there I’m alive,
That’s the truth they ignore when they say “you’ll be fine.”

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed.
Hide from the living, they don’t understand,
In my dreamworld, yeah, I finally stand.
No lies, no masks, no weight on my chest,
If I don’t wake up, just know I’m at rest.

I ain’t suicidal, I just need escape,
Tryna find a place where my soul feel safe.
If I vanish at night, don’t panic, don’t cry,
I’m just learnin’ how to live on the other side.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep,

Morning come fast, nightmares turn real,
Alarm clock ring like “back to the field.”
Same pain, same faces, same walls close in,
But I keep that dream like a secret sin.
One day I’ll build that world when I’m awake,
Till then I sleep just to feel okay.

Yeah…
If you feel this, you not alone.
We all got a dreamworld we run to.

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift… drift… drift when I sleep,
Enter a world where my scars don’t bleed,

So I drift…
 drift… 
drift when I sleep.

Psalm 119 - Perfect Way

Support the psalms - www.patreon.com/join/psalms

 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.

Psalm 15 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded by the Northern Presbytery Choir of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland.

1  Within thy tabernacle, Lord,
         who shall abide with thee?
      And in thy high and holy hill
         who shall a dweller be?

   2  The man that walketh uprightly,
         and worketh righteousness,
      And as he thinketh in his heart,
         so doth he truth express.

   3  Who doth not slander with his tongue,
         nor to his friend doth hurt;
      Nor yet against his neighbor doth
         take up an ill report.

   4  In whose eyes vile men are despised;
         but those that God do fear
      He honoureth; and changeth not,
         though to his hurt he swear.

   5  His coin puts not to usury,
         nor take reward will he
      Against the guiltless. Who doth thus
         shall never movèd be.

PSALM 13 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

1  How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
       shall it for ever be?
    O how long shall it be that thou
       wilt hide thy face from me?

 2  How long take counsel in my soul,
       still sad in heart, shall I?
    How long exalted over me
       shall be mine enemy?

 3  O Lord my God, consider well,
       and answer to me make:
    Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
       of death me overtake:

 4  Lest that mine enemy should say,
       Against him I prevailed;
    And those that trouble me rejoice,
       when I am moved and failed.

 5  But I have all my confidence
       thy mercy set upon;
    My heart within me shall rejoice
       in thy salvation.

 6  I will unto the Lord my God
       sing praises cheerfully,
    Because he hath his bounty shown
       to me abundantly.
