 1     Lord, haste me to deliver;
         with speed, Lord, succor me.
   2  Let them that for my soul do seek
         shamed and confounded be:

         Turned back be they, and shamed,
         that in my hurt delight.
   3  Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
         their shaming to requite.

   4     In thee let all be glad,
         and joy that seek for thee:
      Let them who thy salvation love
         say still, God praisèd be.

   5     I poor and needy am;
         come, Lord, and make no stay:
      My help thou and deliv'rer art;
         O Lord, make no delay.

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.

Psalm 13 (Tune - St Kilda)

1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock;
Do not be deaf to my loud cry.
I’ll be like those gone down to death,
If you are silent in reply.

2 Receive my plea for mercy, LORD,
As now I call to you for grace,
As I lift up my hands in prayer
And look to your Most Holy Place.

6 Praise to the LORD, for he has heard
The plea for mercy which I made.
7 He is my strength, he is my shield;
I trust in him who sends me aid.

9 LORD, save your people, your own flock;
Be pleased your heritage to bless.
Be their good shepherd; carry them
For ever in your faithfulness.

Psalm 28 v1-2, 6-9 (Tune: Walton)

Psalm 87 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 24th Glasgow Recital 1995, used with permission. Meter: CM

1  Upon the hills of holiness
         he his foundation sets.
   2  God, more than Jacob's dwellings all,
         delights in Zion's gates.

   3  Things glorious are said of thee,
         thou city of the Lord.
   4  Rahab and Babel I, to those
         that know me, will record:

      Behold ev'n Tyrus, and with it
         the land of Palestine,
      And likewise Ethiopia;
         this man was born therein.

   5  And it of Zion shall be said,
         This man and that man there
      Was born; and he that is most High
         himself shall stablish her.

   6  When God the people writes, he'll count
         that this man born was there.
   7  There be that sing and play; and all
         my well-springs in thee are.

Psalm 87 (Tune: St Gregory)
