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.

 29  From me the wicked way of lies
        let far removed be;
     And graciously thy holy law
        do thou grant unto me.

 30  I chosen have the perfect way
        of truth and verity:
     Thy judgments that most righteous are
        before me laid have I.

        my heart enlarged hast.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
    Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
    and by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are holy,
    enthroned on the praises[a] of Israel.
4 In you our fathers trusted;
    they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 To you they cried and were rescued;
    in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm and not a man,
    scorned by mankind and despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me;
    they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;
8 “He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him;
    let him rescue him, for he delights in him!”
Lord deliver me!

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)

Psalm 42 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at 'Arbroath' youth weekend.

5  O why art thou cast down, my soul?
         why in me so dismayed?
      Trust God, for I shall praise him yet,
         his count'nance is mine aid.

      7  At the noise of thy water-spouts
         deep unto deep doth call;
      Thy breaking waves pass over me,
         yea, and thy billows all.

   8  His loving-kindness yet the Lord
         command will in the day,
      is song's with me by night; to God,
         by whom I live, I'll pray:

   9  And I will say to God my rock,
         Why me forgett'st thou so?
      Why, for my foes' oppression,
         thus mourning do I go?

From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

Lyrics:
Praise ye the Lord; for it is good praise to our God to sing: 
for it is pleasant, and to praise it is a comely thing. 
God doth build up Jerusalem; and he it is a alone 
that the dispers'd of Isreal doth gather into one. 

Those that are broken in their heart, and grieved in their mind, 
He healeth, and their painful wounds he tenderly upbinds. 
He counts the number of the stars; he names them every one. 
Great is our Lord, and of great power; his wisdom search can none. 

The Lord lifts up the meek and casts the wicked to the ground. 
Sing to the Lord, and give him thanks; on harp his praises sound; 
Who covereth the heav'n with clouds who for the earth below 
prepareth rain, who maketh grass upon the mountains grow.

Psalm 21 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)
  1  The king in thy great strength, O Lord,
         shall very joyful be:
      In thy salvation rejoice
         how veh'mently shall he!

   2  Thou hast bestowed upon him
         all that his heart would have;
      And thou from him didst not withhold
         whate'er his lips did crave.

   3  For thou with blessings him prevent'st
         of goodness manifold;
      And thou hast set upon his head
         a crown of purest gold.

   4  When he desired life of thee,
         thou life to him didst give;
      Ev'n such a length of days, that he
         for evermore should live.

5  In that salvation wrought by thee
         his glory is made great;
      Honor and comely majesty
         thou hast upon him set.

Psalm 21 (Tune: Arnold)

Singing from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650

“I’ll of salvation take the cup,
On God’s Name will I call,
I’ll pay my vows, now, to The LORD,
Before His people all.
Dear in God’s sight,
Is His saint’s death,
Thy servant, LORD,
Am I,
Thy servant sure,
Thine handmaid’s son,
My bands thou didst untie.
Thank off’rings I to thee will give,
And on God’s name will call,
I’ll pay my vows now to The LORD,
Before His people all.
Within the courts,
Of God’s own house,
Within the midst
Of Thee,
Oh city of,
Jerusalem,
Praise to The LORD, give ye.

Psalm 116 v13-19 (Tune: Ostend)

Psalm 44 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

1  O God, we with our ears have heard,
         our fathers have us told,
      What works thou in their days hadst done,
         ev'n in the days of old.

   2  Thy hand did drive the heathen out,
         and plant them in their place;
      Thou didst afflict the nations,
         but them thou didst increase.

   3  For neither got their sword the land,
         nor did their arm them save;
      But thy right hand, arm, countenance;
         for thou them favor gave.

   4  Thou art my King: for Jacob, Lord,
         deliv'rances command.
   5  Through thee we shall push down our foes,
         that do against us stand:

      We, through thy name, shall tread down those
         that ris'n against us have.
   6  For in my bow I shall not trust,
         nor shall my sword me save.

   7  But from our foes thou hast us saved,
         our haters put to shame.
   8  In God we all the day do boast,
         and ever praise thy name.

Psalm 44 (Tune: Old 44th)

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.
