Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church. PSALM 85 (meter: 8 7 8 7 D)

4 God our Saviour, now restore us;
from us turn away your rage.
5 Will your anger burn against us?
Will it last from age to age?
6 Will you not again revive us,
that we may rejoice in you?
7 Show us, LORD, your covenant mercy;
your salvation grant anew.

8 I will hear what God the LORD says:
to his saints he offers peace;
But his people must not wander
and return to foolishness.
9 Surely for all those who fear him
his salvation is at hand,
So that once again his glory
may be seen within our land.

10 Love and truth have met together;
righteousness and peace embrace.
11 Righteousness looks down from heaven;
from the earth springs faithfulness.
12 What is good the LORD will give us,
and our land its fruit will bear.
13 Righteousness will go before him
and his royal way prepare.

(87.87D)
24 LORD, how many are your wonders!
Wisely you have made them all.
Earth is full of all your creatures,
living things, both great and small.
31 May the LORD’s majestic glory
always last and never fade;
May the LORD rejoice and triumph
in the works that he has made.

33 To the LORD throughout my lifetime,
to my God I will sing praise.
34 May my meditation please him,
as to him my song I raise.
35 But may sinners flee before him,
and the wicked be no more.
36 Praise be to the LORD Almighty;
O my soul, the LORD adore!

Psalm 146 (Tune: Ripley) by Strawbridge House [Accompanied]

Recorded @ The Wedding of Stephen Steele and Carla Quigley 

		O SING a new song to the LORD;
all earth sing to the LORD.
2	Sing to the LORD, and bless his name;
`He saves', each day proclaim.
3	His glory to all nations show;
his deeds let peoples know;
 
2   	4	For great's the LORD; he's to be praised,
and feared above all gods.
mp     		5	The peoples' gods are idols all;
mf     			the LORD the heavens made:
6	before him splendour, majesty,
strength in his sanctuary.
 
3   	7	Give to the LORD, O families
of peoples; give the LORD
the glory for his strength; 8ascribe
the glory due his name,
and bring an offèring with you.
Enter his courts into.
 
4   	9	In beautiful and holy robes
bring worship to the LORD;
all earth before him stand in awe.
10	Proclaim, `The LORD is king.'
The world remains established sure,
immovably secure.
 
5   		With fairness he will peoples judge.
f     		11	Let heav'ns be glad, and let
the earth rejoice, the ocean roar,
and all that it contains.
12	O let the fields and everything
in them with praises ring.
 
6   		With joyfulness the forest trees
will sing 13before the LORD,
because he comes; he comes to judge
the earth. He'll judge the world
and peoples all in righteousness,
and in his faithfulness.

O thank the LORD, for good is He;
His mercy lasts forever.
Thanks to the God of gods give ye;
His mercy lasts forever.

O praises give the King of kings;
His mercy lasts forever;
For He alone does wondrous things;
His mercy lasts forever;

He thought on us when we were low;
His mercy lasts forever;
And made us free from every foe;
His mercy lasts forever.

He food bestows on all that live;
His mercy lasts forever.
Thanks to the God of heaven give;
His mercy lasts forever.

Psalm 23 Recorded by members of High Free Church, Stornoway(https://singpraise.net). Support the psalms: www.patreon.com/psalms

1 The LORD is my shepherd; no want shall I know.
2 He makes me lie down where the green pastures grow;
He leads me to rest where the calm waters flow.

3 My wandering steps he brings back to his way,
In straight paths of righteousness making me stay;
And this he has done his great name to display.

4 Though I walk in death’s valley, where darkness is near,
Because you are with me, no evil I’ll fear;
Your rod and your staff bring me comfort and cheer.

5 In the sight of my en’mies a table you spread.
The oil of rejoicing you pour on my head;
My cup overflows and I’m graciously fed.

6 So surely your covenant mercy and grace
Will follow me closely in all of my ways;
I will dwell in the house of the LORD all my days.

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.

1 How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
O Lord of hosts, to me!
The tabernacles of thy grace
how pleasant, Lord, they be!
2 My thirsty soul longs veh’mently,
yea faints, thy courts to see:
My very heart and flesh cry out,
O living God, for thee.


3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out
an house wherein to rest;
The swallow also for herself
hath purchased a nest;
Ev’n thine own altars,* where she safe
her young ones forth may bring,
O thou almighty Lord of hosts,
who art my God and King.


4 Blessed are they in thy house that dwell,
they ever give thee praise.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength thou art,
in whose heart are thy ways:
6 Who passing thorough Baca’s vale,
therein do dig up wells;
Also the rain that falleth down
the pools with water fills.

1 O thou my soul, bless God the Lord;
and all that in me is
Be stirred up his holy name
to magnify and bless.

2 Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
and not forgetful be
Of all his gracious benefits
he hath bestowed on thee.

3 All thine iniquities who doth
most graciously forgive:
Who thy diseases all and pains
doth heal, and thee relieve.

4 Who doth redeem thy life, that thou
to death may’st not go down;
Who thee with loving-kindness doth
and tender mercies crown:

5 Who with abundance of good things
doth satisfy thy mouth;
So that, ev’n as the eagle’s age,
renewed is thy youth.

1 I waited for the Lord my God,
and patiently did bear;
At length to me he did incline
my voice and cry to hear.
2 He took me from a fearful pit,
and from the miry clay,
And on a rock he set my feet,
establishing my way.

3 He put a new song in my mouth,
our God to magnify:
Many shall see it, and shall fear,
and on the Lord rely.
4 O blessed is the man whose trust
upon the Lord relies;
Respecting not the proud, nor such
as turn aside to lies.

5 O Lord my God, full many are
the wonders thou hast done;
Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far
above all thoughts are gone:
In order none can reckon them
to thee: if them declare,
And speak of them I would, they more
than can be numbered are.
