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.

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)

2	The LORD looks down from heaven
			upon the human race,
		To see if any understand,
			if any seek God’s face.

	3	They all have turned aside;
			corrupt they have become.
		Not one of them does any good—
			no, not a single one.

	4	Will sinners never learn?
			My people they’ve devoured
		As if they were consuming bread;
			they never seek the LORD.

	7	May help from Zion come,
			the LORD his captives bring!
		And then let Jacob’s tribes rejoice;
			let Isr’el gladly sing.

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 1b (Tune: St Petersburg)

Psalm 24 (Scottish Psalter version)

Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might
and strong in battle is.

Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

But who is he that is the King
of glory? who is this?
The Lord of hosts, and none but he,
the King of glory is.

3 O God, may the peoples praise you;
may all peoples sing your praise.
4 For you judge the nations justly,
ruling over every race.

May they sing with joy and gladness;
may they all rejoice as one.
5 O God, may the peoples praise you
as they all unite in song.

6 Then the land will yield its harvest;
God will pour his gifts abroad.
7 God, our God, will surely bless us;
all the earth will fear our God.

 5  Hold up my goings, Lord, me guide
         in those thy paths divine,
      So that my footsteps may not slide
         out of those ways of thine.

   6  I called have on thee, O God,
          because thou wilt me hear:
       That thou may'st hearken to my speech,
          to me incline thine ear.

   7  Thy wondrous loving-kindness show,
         thou that, by thy right hand,
      Sav'st them that trust in thee from those
         that up against them stand.

   8  As th' apple of the eye me keep;
         in thy wings shade me close
   9  From lewd oppressors, compassing
         me round, as deadly foes.

3 LORD, in your presence who can stand,
if you our sins record?
4 But yet forgiveness is with you,
that we may fear you, LORD.

5 I wait—my soul waits—for the LORD;
my hope is in his word.
6 More than the watchman waits for dawn
my soul waits for the Lord.

7 O Isr’el, put your hope in God,
for mercy is with him
8 And full redemption. From their sins
his people he’ll redeem.

1  O Lord, thou hast me searched and known.
 2      Thou know'st my sitting down,
    And rising up; yea, all my thoughts
       afar to thee are known.

  4  For in my tongue, before I speak,
       not any word can be,
    But altogether, lo, O Lord,
       it is well known to thee.

 7  From thy Sp'rit whither shall I go?
       or from thy presence fly?
 8  Ascend I heav'n, lo, thou art there;
       there, if in hell I lie.

 9  Take I the morning wings, and dwell
       in utmost parts of sea;
10  Ev'n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead,
       thy right hand hold shall me.

Psalm 107 sung acapella from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Singing by Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland. (Meter: CM)

 3  And gathered them out of the lands,
       from north, south, east, and west.
 4  They strayed in desert's pathless way,
       no city found to rest.

 5  For thirst and hunger in them faints
 6     their soul. When straits them press,
    They cry unto the Lord, and he
       them frees from their distress.

 7  Them also in a way to walk
       that right is he did guide,
    That they might to a city go,
       wherein they might abide.

 8  O that men to the Lord would give
       praise for his goodness then,
    And for his works of wonder done
       unto the sons of men!

 9  For he the soul that longing is
       doth fully satisfy;
    With goodness he the hungry soul
       doth fill abundantly.

Psalm 34 sung acapella from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Singing by Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland.

19  The troubles that afflict the just
         in number many be;
      But yet at length out of them all
         the Lord doth set him free.

  20  He carefully his bones doth keep,
         whatever can befall;
      That not so much as one of them
         can broken be at all.

  21  Ill shall the wicked slay; laid waste
         shall be who hate the just.
  22  The Lord redeems his servants' souls;
         none perish that him trust.

Psalm 34 v19-22 (Tune: Wiltshire)

Psalm 127 sung acapella from The Scottish Psalter of 1650
Recorded at Glasgow Reformed Presbyterian Church.

1  Except the Lord do build the house,
       the builders lose their pain:
    Except the Lord the city keep,
       the watchmen watch in vain.

 2  'Tis vain for you to rise betimes,
       or late from rest to keep,
    To feed on sorrows' bread; so gives
       he his beloved sleep.

 3  Lo, children are God's heritage,
       the womb's fruit his reward.
 4  The sons of youth as arrows are,
       for strong men's hands prepared.

 5  O happy is the man that hath
       his quiver filled with those;
    They unashamèd in the gate
       shall speak unto their foes.
