Psalm 13 (CM)
1 How long will you forget me, LORD?
Will you forget always?
How long, LORD, will you hide your face
and turn from me your gaze?

2 How long must I be sad each day
in deep perplexity?
How long will my opponent stand
in triumph over me?

3 O LORD my God, consider me
and give me your reply.
Light up my eyes or I will sleep
the sleep of those who die.

4 Then would my enemy declare,
“At last I’ve laid him low!”
And so my foes would sing for joy
to see my overthrow.

5 But still I trust your constant love;
you save and set me free.
6 With joy I will extol the LORD
who has been good to me.

7 The LORD for ever reigns on high;
his throne for judgment stands.
8 He’ll judge the world in righteousness,
with justice rule the lands.

9 The LORD will be a hiding place
for those who are oppressed,
And he will be a strong defence
for those who are distressed.

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.

7 The perfect law of God
Revives the soul of man;
His statutes which are sure
Make wise the simple one.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right
And fill the heart with great delight.

God’s radiant commands
Shed light on what we see;
9 The fear of God is pure
And lasts eternally.
The standards of the LORD express
His perfect truth and righteousness.

10 Of far more worth than gold—
Than much pure gold—they are;
Than honey from the comb,
Than honey sweeter far.
11 They warn the servant of the LORD;
In keeping them is great reward.

Psalm 19 v7-11 (Tune: Love Unknown)

Psalm 100, to the tune Old 100th, at the beautiful wedding service of Mr & Mrs Chris and Alison Macleod. 

Psalm 100, Old 100th - Chris & Alison's Wedding

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

1  After thy loving-kindness, Lord,
         have mercy upon me:
      For thy compassions great, blot out
         all mine iniquity.

   2  Me cleanse from sin, and thoroughly wash
         from mine iniquity:
   3  For my transgressions I confess;
         my sin I ever see.

   4  'Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinned,
         in thy sight done this ill;
      That when thou speak'st thou may'st be just,
         and clear in judging still.

   5  Behold, I in iniquity
         was formed the womb within;
      My mother also me conceived
         in guiltiness and sin.

   6  Behold, thou in the inward parts
         with truth delighted art;
      And wisdom thou shalt make me know
         within the hidden part.

   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.

Psalm 12 sung a capella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: (11 10 11 10)

	1	Help, LORD, because the godly have quite vanished,
			and faithful folk we can no longer see.
	2	Each one tells falsehood even to his neighbour;
			with flattering lips they speak deceitfully.

	3	Now may the LORD cut off all lips which flatter,
			and every tongue which speaks with boastful word.
	4	Such people say, “We with our tongues will triumph;
			we own our lips—who then can be our lord?”

	5	“Because the weak have suffered great oppression,
			and I have heard the needy’s groaning cries,
		Now I will guard them from those who malign them.
			To help them,” says the LORD, “I will arise.”

		7	O LORD, you will preserve us safe for ever
			and from this evil age keep us secure;
	8	For here the wicked strut about quite freely,
			and praise is giv’n to all that is impure.

Psalm 12  (Tune: Kildonan)

  5  For thou a little lower hast
         him than the angels made;
      With glory and with dignity
         thou crowned hast his head.

   6  Of thy hands' works thou mad'st him lord,
         all under's feet didst lay;
   7  All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts
         that in the field do stray;

   8  Fowls of the air, fish of the sea,
         all that pass through the same.
   9  How excellent in all the earth,
         Lord, our Lord, is thy name!
