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.

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

Psalm 4 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) 

1  Give ear unto me when I call,
         God of my righteousness:
      Have mercy, hear my pray'r; thou hast
         enlarged me in distress.
     
6  O who will show us any good?
         is that which many say:
      But of thy countenance the light,
         Lord, lift on us alway.
   
7  Upon my heart, bestowed by thee,
         more gladness I have found
      Than they, ev'n then, when corn and wine
         did most with them abound.
   
8  I will both lay me down in peace,
         and quiet sleep will take;
      Because thou only me to dwell
         in safety, Lord, dost make.

Psalm 4 (Tune: Crimond)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650

   3  My soul is also vexed sore;
      But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make
   4  Return, O Lord, my soul set free;
      O save me, for thy mercies' sake.

   5  Because those that deceased are
      Of thee shall no remembrance have;
      And who is he that will to thee
      Give praises lying in the grave?

   6  I with my groaning weary am,
      I also all the night my bed
      Have caused for to swim; and I
      With tears my couch have watered.

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) 

7  God shall endure for aye; he doth
         for judgment set his throne;
   8  In righteousness to judge the world,
         justice to give each one.

   9  God also will a refuge be
         for those that are oppressed;
      A refuge will he be in times
         of trouble to distressed.

  10  And they that know thy name, in thee
         their confidence will place:
      For thou hast not forsaken them
         that truly seek thy face.

  11  O sing ye praises to the Lord,
         that dwells in Zion hill;
      And all the nations among
         his deeds record ye still.

Psalm 12 sung a capella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: (11 10 11 10) Tune by Loys Bourgeois 1551 from the Anlo-Genevan psalter(aka DONNE SECOURS).

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: Genevan Psalm 12)

1 LORD, you have searched my life and know my heart;
You search me and you know me through and through.
2 You know me when I sit and when I rise,
And from afar my thoughts are known to you.

3 You see my going out and lying down,
And you have perfect knowledge of my ways.
4 Before I speak a word, you know it, LORD,
For nothing can be hidden from your gaze.


5 Behind, before, you hem me in, O LORD,
And you have laid on me your mighty hand.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
Too high to grasp, too great to understand.

7 Where from your Spirit can I go and hide?
And from your presence, LORD, where can I fly?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
And in the lowest depths, if there I lie.

9 If I take flight upon the wings of dawn
And if I settle far beyond the sea,
10 There also you will guide me with your hand
And still your right hand will keep hold of me.

11 If I should say, “The dark will cover me
And light around me be as dark as night,”
12 Yet even darkness is not dark to you—
The night is as the day, the darkness light.

PSALM 119 (Part 5) sung acapella from Sing Psalms, 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Recorded at a Inverness festivial of Psalms in 2003. Meter: LM

33 Teach me to follow your decrees;
Then I will keep them to the end.
34 Give insight, and I’ll keep your law,
With all my heart to it attend.

35 Lead me in your commandments’ path,
For there, O LORD, delight I find.
36 Incline my heart towards your laws;
From selfish gain preserve my mind.

37 O turn my eyes from worthless things;
Give life according to your word.
38 To me, your servant, keep your pledge,
So that you may be feared, O LORD.

39 Remove from me the shame I dread;
Your laws excel in uprightness.
40 O how I long for your decrees!
Preserve me in your righteousness

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650)  Recorded at a Free Church of Scotland Psalmody Recital(Meter: CM)

1  Wherefore is it that thou, O Lord,
         dost stand from us afar?
      And wherefore hidest thou thyself,
         when times so troublous are?

   2  The wicked in his loftiness
         doth persecute the poor:
      In these devices they have framed
         let them be taken sure.

17  O Lord, of those that humble are
         thou the desire didst hear;
      Thou wilt prepare their heart, and thou
         to hear wilt bend thine ear;

  18  To judge the fatherless, and those
         that are oppressed sore;
      That man, that is but sprung of earth,
         may them oppress no more.

  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!

PSALM 107 sung acapella from Sing Psalms, 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: CM

33 He changed the streams to wilderness,
fresh springs to desert bare,
34 And fruitful land to barren waste,
for sins of dwellers there.
35 He changed parched ground to flowing streams;
the hungry there he led
36 To found a city safe and strong,
which they inhabited.

37 They reaped a fruitful harvest from
the vineyard and the field.
38 He blessed and made them multiply;
their herds maintained their yield.
39 They faced decline, their fortunes fell,
they suffered great distress.
40 Brought low by him who scorns the proud,
they roamed the wilderness.

41 But he did not abandon them;
he brought the needy folk
From their affliction, and increased
their fam’lies like a flock.
42 The upright see this and are glad;
the wicked hold their peace.
43 Let all the wise take note and learn
the LORD’s love does not cease.

Psalm 107 v33-43 (Tune: Rachel)

I’ll praise you, LORD, with all my heart;
Before the gods I’ll sing your praise.
2 I’ll bow towards your holy place
And bless your holy name always.

I’ll praise you for your faithfulness
And for your cov’nant love, O LORD,
For over all things you have raised
Your holy name and faithful word.

3 The very day I called to you,
You gave an answer to my plea.
You made me bold within myself;
With new resolve you strengthened me.

Although I walk a troubled path,
Your tender care preserves my life.
You raise your hand against my foes;
Your right hand saves me from their strife.

8 The LORD will certainly fulfil
For me the purpose he commands.
Your love endures for ever, LORD;
Preserve the works of your own hands.

1 You mighty ones, give to the LORD as his right,
Ascribe to the LORD God both glory and might.
2 To the LORD’s name due glory and honour accord;
In beauty of holiness worship the LORD.

3 The LORD’s voice is over the waters abroad,
And thunder proceeds from the glorious God.
Above all the waters God’s thunder is heard;
4 A powèrful voice is the voice of the LORD.

The voice of the LORD is majestic and loud;
5 By the voice of the LORD the great cedars are bowed.
Yes, even the cedars of Lebanon tall,
The LORD breaks in pieces and shatters them all.

6 Like the leap of a calf he shakes Lebanon’s rocks,
And Sirion skips like a startled wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD causes lightning to flash;
8 The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness crash.

The LORD makes the desert of Kadesh to shake;
9 The LORD causes oaks of the forest to quake.
The trees of the forest he strips of their leaves,
And he in his temple great glory receives.

10 The LORD over floods sits as monarch alone;
The LORD sits for ever as King on his throne.
11 The LORD makes the strength of his people increase;
The LORD gives his people the blessing of peace.
