Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Sung at Dowanvale Free Church. Meter: (CM)

1 O LORD, you have examined me,
you know me through and through.
2 My sitting, rising—all my thoughts
afar are known to you.

5 You hem me in—behind, before;
you lay on me your hand.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful,
too high to understand.

7 Where can I from your Spirit flee
or from your presence go?
8 If to the heavens, you are there,
or in the depths below.

9 If I should take the wings of dawn
and dwell beyond the sea,
10 There also you would be my guide,
your right hand holding me.

Psalm 139 v1-10 (Tune: St Andrew)

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.


Ps 144 v 9-15 West Burn

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. 
Sung by Free Church of Scotland Choir(recording reproduced with permission)

1 God’s mercies I will ever sing;
and with my mouth I shall
Thy faithfulness make to be known
to generations all.

2 For mercy shall be built, said I,
for ever to endure;
Thy faithfulness, ev’n in the heav’ns,
thou wilt establish sure.

3 I with my chosen One have made
a cov’nant graciously;
And to my servant, whom I lov’d,
to David sworn have I;

4 That I thy seed establish shall
for ever to remain,
And will to generations all
thy throne build and maintain.

5 The praises of thy wonders, Lord,
the heavens shall express;
And in the congregation
of saints thy faithfulness.

8 Hear my pray’r, LORD God Almighty,
and receive the plea I make.
Listen to me, God of Jacob;
hear me for your mercy’s sake.
9 Look upon our shield and bring
favour to your chosen king.

10 One day in your courts is better
than a thousand days elsewhere.
Let me stay in my God’s temple—
let me be a doorman there—
Rather than find happiness
in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the LORD gives grace and honour;
God will be a shield and sun.
He will not withhold his blessing
from the just and blameless one.
12 LORD Almighty, great and true,
blessed the one who trusts in you.

I have a few of these hiding away on my laptop. 

Headphones are highly recommended. It's hard to follow the individual parts in mono I find.

Psalm 34 (Sing Psalms)  - Resignation

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

1  O Lord, thou hast been favorable
         to thy beloved land:
      Jacob's captivity thou hast
         recalled with mighty hand.

   2  Thou pardoned thy people hast
         all their iniquities;
      Thou all their trespasses and sins
         hast covered from thine eyes.

   3  Thou took'st off all thine ire, and turn'dst
         from thy wrath's furiousness.
   4  Turn us, God of our health, and cause
         thy wrath 'gainst us to cease.

   5  Shall thy displeasure thus endure
         against us without end?
      Wilt thou to generations all
         thine anger forth extend?

Psalm 85 v1-5 (Tune: Naomi)

He'd already spent too long sacrificing the here and now on the altar of the past. They had so little time.

AU, series. Ten years. It isn't enough. It's all they have. Aziraphale tries to hold on to every moment.

Psalm 150 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded at a Free Church of Scotland choir recording in the early 2000's

 1  Praise ye the Lord. God's praise within
         his sanctuary raise;
      And to him in the firmament
         of his pow'r give ye praise.

   2  Because of all his mighty acts,
         with praise him magnify:
      O praise him, as he doth excel
         in glorious majesty.

   3  Praise him with trumpet's sound; his praise
         with psaltery advance:
   4  With timbrel, harp, stringed instruments,
         and organs, in the dance.

   5  Praise him on cymbals loud; him praise
         on cymbals sounding high.
   6  Let each thing breathing praise the Lord.
         Praise to the Lord give ye.

Psalm 150 (Tune: Belgrave)

Psalm 68 - Melita

Summary: With apologies to Franz Kafka.
Crowley -- bored, frustrated, drunk, and missing his angel during lockdown -- remembers one of their past encounters and does something unwise. Come morning, Aziraphale's got a problem to solve.
