11  I said, when I was in my haste,
       that all men liars be.
12  What shall I render to the Lord
       for all his gifts to me?

13  I'll of salvation take the cup,
       on God's name will I call:
14  I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
       before his people all.

15  Dear in God's sight is his saints' death.
16     Thy servant, Lord, am I;
    Thy servant sure, thine handmaid's son:
       my bands thou didst untie.

17  Thank-off'rings I to thee will give,
       and on God's name will call.
18  I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
       before his people all;

19  Within the courts of God's own house,
       within the midst of thee,
    O city of Jerusalem.
       Praise to the Lord give ye.

Text from the KJV Bible:

1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God:
it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.

(SM)
 4     Show me thy ways, O Lord;
         thy paths, O teach thou me:
   5  And do thou lead me in thy truth,
         therein my teacher be:

         For thou art God that dost
         to me salvation send,
      And I upon thee all the day
         expecting do attend.

   6     Thy tender mercies, Lord,
         I pray thee to remember,
      And loving-kindnesses; for they
         have been of old for ever.

   7     My sins and faults of youth
         do thou, O Lord, forget:
      After thy mercy think on me,
         and for thy goodness great.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. Recorded during a wedding at St Jude's Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland (Glasgow). circa 2011

   7  I bless the Lord, because he doth
         by counsel me conduct;
      And in the seasons of the night
         my reins do me instruct.

 8  Before me still the Lord I set:
         since it is so that he
      Doth ever stand at my right hand,
         I shall not movèd be.

   9  Because of this my heart is glad,
         and joy shall be expressed
      Ev'n by my glory; and my flesh
         in confidence shall rest.

PSALM 34  From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

7  The angel of the Lord encamps,
         and round encompasseth
      All those about that do him fear,
         and them delivereth.

   8  O taste and see that God is good:
         who trusts in him is blessed.
   9  Fear God his saints: none that him fear
         shall be with want oppressed.

  10  The lions young may hungry be,
         and they may lack their food:
      But they that truly seek the Lord
         shall not lack any good.

  11  O children, hither do ye come,
         and unto me give ear;
      I shall you teach to understand
         how ye the Lord should fear.

May for the people hill and mountain
Bring forth the peace they seek,
And justice, gushing like a fountain,
Restore the faint and meek.
May he defend the poor and needy,
May he their children save,
And crush oppressors, proud and greedy,
Who for their downfall crave.

May he, the royal son, be reigning
With judgments true and sure,
To all Thy people right ordaining
And justice to Thy poor.

May he, so high above the nations,
Live while the sun endures,
He, who throughout all generations
Our joy and peace ensures;
And may he be like rain that drenches
The meadows parched and pale,
Like showers whose abundance quenches
The thirst of hill and vale.

Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). ( 8 7.8 7 D)

1 Praise the LORD, my soul, O praise him!
LORD my God, you are so great!
2 Wrapped in light as with a garment,
clothed in majesty and state.
Like a tent he spreads the heavens,
3 and above the waters there
Sets the framework of his dwelling,
making it an upper layer.

He makes clouds of heav’n his chariot;
on the wings of wind he rides.
4 He makes flames of fire his servants;
winds obey what he decides.
5 He set earth on its foundations,
so that it should never move;
6 Then the deep submerged the mountains
till the waters stood above.

7 But when you rebuked the waters,
at your thunder they took flight;
8 They receded to the valleys,
flowing down the mountains’ height
To the place that you appointed.
9 You set bounds to their domain,
So that never will the waters
overwhelm the land again.
