 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.

Psalm 70  (Tune: Garelochside)

Psalm 16v8-11 (Sing Psalms version) to the tune Golden Hill. Sung at the Free Church Youth Conference, March 2023

8  Before me constantly
I set the LORD alone.
Because he is at my right hand
I’ll not be overthrown.

9  Therefore my heart is glad;
my tongue with joy will sing.
My body too will rest secure
in hope unwavering.

10  For you will not allow
my soul in death to stay,
Nor will you leave your Holy One
to see the tomb’s decay.

11 You have made known to me
the path of life divine.
Bliss shall I know at your right hand;
joy from your face will shine.

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.

Blessed the poor in spirit - Psalm 49 / Matthew 5:3

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.


Ps 144 v 9-15 West Burn

13 Such pity as a father hath
unto his children dear;
Like pity shews the Lord to such
as worship him in fear.

14 For he remembers we are dust,
and he our frame well knows.
15 Frail man, his days are like the grass,
as flow’r in field he grows:

16 For over it the wind doth pass,
and it away is gone;
And of the place where once it was
it shall no more be known.

17 But unto them that do him fear
God’s mercy never ends;
And to their children’s children still
his righteousness extends:

18 To such as keep his covenant,
and mindful are alway
Of his most just commandements,
that they may them obey.

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)
