Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Recorded at Glasgow RP Church

17 I shall not die, but live, and shall
the works of God discover.
18 The Lord hath me chastised sore,
but not to death giv'n over.

19 O set ye open unto me
the gates of righteousness;
Then will I enter into them,
and I the Lord will bless.

20 This is the gate of God, by it
the just shall enter in.
21 Thee will I praise, for thou me heard'st
and hast my safety been.

Psalm 23 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. Sung at the 24rd Free Church of Scotland Glasgow Psalmody Recital, 1995

Second Version   Common Metre Tunes (6.6.6.6.8.8.)

  1  The Lord of heav'n confess,
     On high his glory raise.
  2  Him let all angels bless,
     Him all his armies praise.
  3       Him glorify
          Sun, moon, and stars;
  4       Ye higher spheres,
          And cloudy sky.

  5  From God your beings are,
     Him therefore famous make;
     You all created were,
     When he the word but spake.
  6       And from that place,
          Where fixed you be
          By his decree,
          You cannot pass.

  7  Praise God from earth below,
     Ye dragons, and ye deeps:
  8  Fire, hail, clouds, wind, and snow.
     Whom in command he keeps.
  9       Praise ye his name,
          Hills great and small,
          Trees low and tall;
 10       Beasts wild and tame;

     All things that creep or fly.
 11  Ye kings, ye vulgar throng,
     All princes mean or high;
 12  Both men and virgins young,
          Ev'n young and old,
 13       Exalt his name;
          For much his fame
          Should be extolled.

     O let God's name be praised
     Above both earth and sky;
 14  For he his saints hath raised,
     And set their horn on high;
          Ev'n those that be
          Of Isr'el's race,
          Near to his grace.
          The Lord praise ye.

Psalm 130 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650.

1  Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.
 2     My voice, Lord, do thou hear:
    Unto my supplication's voice
       give an attentive ear.

 3  Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,
       should'st mark iniquity?
 4  But yet with thee forgiveness is,
       that feared thou mayest be.

 5  I wait for God, my soul doth wait,
       my hope is in his word.
 6  More than they that for morning watch,
       my soul waits for the Lord;

    I say, more than they that do watch
       the morning light to see.
 7  Let Israel hope in the Lord,
       for with him mercies be;

    And plenteous redemption
       is ever found with him.
 8  And from all his iniquities
       he Isr'el shall redeem.

Psalm 130 (Tune: Martyrdom)

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.

From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

Psalm 78 v5-8 (Tune: Argyle)

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650)   (Meter: CM)

1  I to the hills will lift mine eyes,
       from whence doth come mine aid.
 2  My safety cometh from the Lord,
       who heav'n and earth hath made.

 3  Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will
       he slumber that thee keeps.
 4  Behold, he that keeps Israel,
       he slumbers not, nor sleeps.

 5  The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade
       on thy right hand doth stay:
 6  The moon by night thee shall not smite,
       nor yet the sun by day.

 7  The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall
       preserve thee from all ill.
 8  Henceforth thy going out and in
       God keep for ever will.
