   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.

Frought with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.

Ps 92 v 1-5 Contemplation

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

  3  His work most honourable is,
       most glorious and pure,
    And his untainted righteousness
       for ever doth endure.

 4  His works most wonderful he hath
       made to be thought upon:
    The Lord is gracious, and he is
       full of compassion.

Psalm 111 (Tune: St Stephen aka Abridge)

5  His testimony and his law
         in Isr'el he did place,
      And charged our fathers it to show
         to their succeeding race;

   6  That so the race which was to come
         might well them learn and know;
      And sons unborn, who should arise,
         might to their sons them show:

   7  That they might set their hope in God,
         and suffer not to fall
      His mighty works out of their mind,
         but keep his precepts all:

   8  And might not, like their fathers, be
         a stiff rebellious race;
      A race not right in heart; with God
         whose sp'rit not steadfast was.

Psalm 78 v5-8 (Tune: Argyle)

20  Unto thy cov'nant have respect;
         for earth's dark places be
      Full of the habitations
         of horrid cruelty.

  21  O let not those that be oppressed
         return again with shame:
      Let those that poor and needy are
         give praise unto thy name.

  22  Do thou, O God, arise and plead
         the cause that is thine own:
      Remember how thou art reproached
         still by the foolish one.

  23  Do not forget the voice of those
         that are thine enemies:
      Of those the tumult ever grows
         that do against thee rise.

Psalm 74 (Tune: Morven)

1O Lord, thy judgments give the king,
his son thy righteousness.
2With right he shall thy people judge,
thy poor with uprightness.
3The lofty mountains shall bring forth
unto the people peace;
Likewise the little hills the same
shall do by righteousness.
 
4The people's poor ones he shall judge,
the needy's children save;
And those shall he in pieces break
who them oppressed have.
5They shall thee fear, while sun and moon
do last, through ages all.
6Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,
or show'rs on earth that fall.

Psalm 72 v1-6 (Tune: Petersham)

1  O Lord, thou art my God and King;
        Thee will I magnify and praise:
     I will thee bless, and gladly sing
        Unto thy holy name always.

  2  Each day I rise I will thee bless,
        And praise thy name time without end.
  3  Much to be praised, and great God is;
        His greatness none can comprehend.

   7  They utter shall abundantly
        The mem'ry of thy goodness great;
     And shall sing praises cheerfully,
        Whilst they thy righteousness relate.

  8  The Lord our God is gracious,
        Compassionate is he also;
     In mercy he is plenteous,
        But unto wrath and anger slow.

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

 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.

  11  Cast me not from thy sight, nor take
         thy Holy Sp'rit away.
  12  Restore me thy salvation's joy;
         with thy free Sp'rit me stay.

  13  Then will I teach thy ways unto
         those that transgressors be;
      And those that sinners are shall then
         be turned unto thee.
