Recorded at the general assembly of the Church of Scotland.

7 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.
8 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.

9 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.
10 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.

Psalm 24 (Tune: St Georges Edinburgh)(congregation of 1000 people)

(Meter: CM)

31  If they my laws break, and do not
         keep my commandements;
  32  I'll visit then their faults with rods,
         their sins with chastisements.

  33  Yet I'll not take my love from him,
         nor false my promise make.
  34  My cov'nant I'll not break, nor change
         what with my mouth I spake.

  35  Once by my holiness I sware,
         to David I'll not lie;
  36  His seed and throne shall, as the sun,
         before me last for aye.

  37  It, like the moon, shall ever be
         established stedfastly;
      And like to that which in the heav'n
         doth witness faithfully.

  38  But thou, displeased, hast cast off,
         thou didst abhor and loathe;
      With him that thine anointed is
         thou hast been very wroth.

Psalm 89 v31-38 (Tune: Winchester)

From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

Lyrics:
Praise ye the Lord; for it is good praise to our God to sing: 
for it is pleasant, and to praise it is a comely thing. 
God doth build up Jerusalem; and he it is a alone 
that the dispers'd of Isreal doth gather into one. 

Those that are broken in their heart, and grieved in their mind, 
He healeth, and their painful wounds he tenderly upbinds. 
He counts the number of the stars; he names them every one. 
Great is our Lord, and of great power; his wisdom search can none. 

The Lord lifts up the meek and casts the wicked to the ground. 
Sing to the Lord, and give him thanks; on harp his praises sound; 
Who covereth the heav'n with clouds who for the earth below 
prepareth rain, who maketh grass upon the mountains grow.

Psalm 147 v1-8 (Tune: Thanksgiving)

Psalm 145: 1-7 (Tune: Herongate)

From the Scottish psalter of 1650
Recording used by permission of the free Church of Scotland Psalmody committee

1  My heart is fixed, Lord; I will sing,
       and with my glory praise.
 2  Awake up psaltery and harp;
       myself I'll early raise.

 3  I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord;
       'mong nations sing will I:
 4  For above heav'n thy mercy's great,
       thy truth doth reach the sky.

 5  Be thou above the heavens, Lord,
       exalted gloriously;
    Thy glory all the earth above
       be lifted up on high.

 6  That those who thy beloved are
       deliver-ed may be,
    O do thou save with thy right hand,
       and answer give to me.

 7  Lord, let my pray'r prevail,
       To answer it make speed;
    For, lo, my sp'rit doth fail:
       Hide not thy face in need;
    Lest I be like to those
       That do in darkness sit,
    Or him that downward goes
       Into the dreadful pit.

 8  Because I trust in thee,
       O Lord, cause me to hear
    Thy loving-kindness free,
       When morning doth appear:
    Cause me to know the way
       Wherein my path should be;
    For why, my soul on high
       I do lift up to thee.

 9  From my fierce enemy
       In safety do me guide,
    Because I flee to thee,
       Lord, that thou may'st me hide.
10  My God alone art thou,
       Teach me thy righteousness:
    Thy Sp'rit's good, lead me to
       The land of uprightness.

11  O Lord, for thy name's sake,
       Be pleased to quicken me;
    And, for thy truth, forth take
       My soul from misery.
12  And of thy grace destroy
       My foes, and put to shame
    All who my soul annoy;
       For I thy servant am.

1  Attend, my people, to my law;
         thereto give thou an ear;
      The words that from my mouth proceed
         attentively do hear.

   2  My mouth shall speak a parable,
         and sayings dark of old;
   3  The same which we have heard and known,
         and us our fathers told.

   4  We also will them not conceal
         from their posterity;
      Them to the generation
         to come declare will we:

      The praises of the Lord our God,
         and his almighty strength,
      The wondrous works that he hath done,
         we will show forth at length.

1  O God, give ear unto my cry;
         unto my pray'r attend.
   2  From th' utmost corner of the land
         my cry to thee I'll send.

      What time my heart is overwhelmed,
         and in perplexity,
      Do thou me lead unto the Rock
         that higher is than I.

   3  For thou hast for my refuge been
         a shelter by thy pow'r;
      And for defense against my foes
         thou hast been a strong tow'r.

   4  Within thy tabernacle I
         for ever will abide;
      And under covert of thy wings
         with confidence me hide.

   5  For thou the vows that I did make,
         O Lord my God, didst hear:
      Thou hast giv'n me the heritage
         of those thy name that fear.

   6  A life prolonged for many days
         thou to the king shalt give;
      Like many generations be
         the years which he shall live.

Psalm 27 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)(Meter: CM)

7  O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
         when I do cry to thee;
      Upon me also mercy have,
         and do thou answer me.

   8  When thou didst say, seek ye my face,
         then unto thee reply
      Thus did my heart, above all things
         thy face, Lord, seek will I.

   9  Far from me hide not thou thy face;
         put not away from thee
      Thy servant in thy wrath: thou hast
         an helper been to me.

      O God of my salvation,
         leave me not, nor forsake:
  10  Though me my parents both should leave,
         the Lord will me up take.
