1 Blessed is the one who turns away
from where the wicked walk,
Who does not stand in sinners’ paths
or sit with those who mock.

2 Instead he finds God’s holy law
his joy and great delight;
He makes the precepts of the LORD
his study day and night.

3 He prospers ever like a tree
that’s planted by a stream,
And in due season yields its fruit;
its leaves are always green.

4 Not so the wicked! They are like
the chaff that’s blown away.
5 They will not stand when judgment comes
or with the righteous stay.

6 It is the LORD who sees and knows
the way the righteous go,
But those who live an evil life
the LORD will overthrow.

Psalm 1 a (Tune: Creator)

Copyright: Sing Psalms 2003. Psalm 2 sung acapella at a Free Church Glasgow Psalmody Recital, used with permission. (Meter: LM)

1 Why do the heathen nations rage?
Why do the peoples plot in vain?
2 Earth’s kings combine in enmity;
Her rulers join against God’s reign.

They take their stand against the LORD
And challenge his anointed one:
3 “Let us break off their chains from us;
With their restraints let us be done.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
The Lord on high derides them all.
5 Then he rebukes them in his wrath;
His rage and terror on them fall.

6 The LORD has made it known to them:
“My chosen king I have installed
On Zion, my own holy hill.
He is the one whom I have called.”

Psalm 2 v1-6 (Tune: Rimington)

PSALM 119 (Part 8) sung acapella from Sing Psalms, 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: 10.9.10.9 trochaic

	57	You, O LORD, are everything I’ve longed for;
			I have promised to obey your word.
	58	With my whole heart I have sought your favour;
			as you promised, grant me grace, O LORD.

	59	I have thought about my life and conduct,
			and have turned my steps towards your way.
	60	I will hasten and, without delaying,
			your commands and statutes I’ll obey.

	61	Though the wicked with their cords ensnare me,
			I will not forget instruction’s voice.
	62	I will rise to give you thanks at midnight,
			for your righteous laws make me rejoice.

	63	Those who fear you are my friends for ever,
			all who follow in your precepts’ way.
	64	Earth is filled with your great loving-kindness;
			teach me your decrees, O LORD, I pray.

Psalm 1b sung a capella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: 88.88.88

1 How blessed the one who does not walk
Where wicked men would guide his feet,
Who does not stand in sinners’ paths
Or sit upon the scorners’ seat.
2 The law of God is his delight,
His meditation day and night.

3 He prospers like a tree, which has
Been planted by a flowing stream,
And in its season yields its fruit;
Its leaves are always fresh and green.
In every act and every word
He knows the blessing of the LORD.

4 Not so the wicked: they are like
The chaff the wind will blow away.
5 They will not in the judgment stand,
Nor sinners with the righteous stay.
6 God knows the way the righteous go;
The wicked’s way he’ll overthrow.

Psalm 1 b (Tune: St Petersburg)

	8	“ ‘Ask me, and for your heritage
		I’ll give you nations near and far.
	9	You’ll break them with an iron rod,
		And smash them like a potter’s jar.’ ”

	10	Now therefore, kings, true wisdom find;
		You judges of the earth, give ear.
	11	With rev’rence come and serve the LORD;
		Bow down with joy and trembling fear.

	12	Pay homage to the royal son
		Lest you in wrath aside are thrust,
		For swiftly can his anger blaze.
		Blessèd are all who in him trust.

1 O LORD, how many are my foes!
How many up against me rise!
2 They all are saying now of me,
“In vain he on his God relies.”

3 But you are my protector, LORD;
You are a shield around me spread.
My glory comes from you alone,
The one who raises up my head.

4 When to the LORD I lift my voice,
In face of those who hate me still,
The LORD will hear my cry to him
And answer from his holy hill.

5 Each night I settle down to rest;
and sleep in peace, I wake again.
6 I will not fear ten thousand foes
Because the lord will me sustain
