LORD, you have searched me and me known,
		yes, when I rise up or sit down.
		You understand, too, from afar,
		the very thoughts that in me are.

	2	You note my path and lying down;
		my ways to you are all well known;
		for on my tongue can be no word,
		but you completely know it, LORD.

		Search me, O God; my heart discern.
		Test me, my anxious thoughts to learn.
		See if in hurtful ways I stray;
mf		lead me in the eternal way.

Psalm 16 (Tune: Sterling)

1  Lord, in thy wrath rebuke me not;
      Nor in thy hot rage chasten me.
   2  Lord, pity me, for I am weak:
      Heal me, for my bones vexed be.

   3  My soul is also vexed sore;
      But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make
   4  Return, O Lord, my soul set free;
      O save me, for thy mercies' sake.

   5  Because those that deceased are
      Of thee shall no remembrance have;
      And who is he that will to thee
      Give praises lying in the grave?

   6  I with my groaning weary am,
      I also all the night my bed
      Have caused for to swim; and I
      With tears my couch have watered.

    9  God hath my supplication heard,
      My pray'r received graciously
  10  Shamed and sore vexed be all my foes,
      Shamed and back turnèd suddenly.

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 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.

"Suo Gân" is a traditional Welsh lullaby by an anonymous composer. It was first recorded in print around 1800 and the lyrics were notably captured by the Welsh folklorist Robert Bryan. The song's title simply means lullaby.

"Suo Gân", as performed by James Rainbird and the Ambrosian Junior Choir, is featured prominently in Steven Spielberg's 1987 film Empire of the Sun, where it is lip-synched by a young Christian Bale.

Psalm 4 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) 

1  Give ear unto me when I call,
         God of my righteousness:
      Have mercy, hear my pray'r; thou hast
         enlarged me in distress.
     
6  O who will show us any good?
         is that which many say:
      But of thy countenance the light,
         Lord, lift on us alway.
   
7  Upon my heart, bestowed by thee,
         more gladness I have found
      Than they, ev'n then, when corn and wine
         did most with them abound.
   
8  I will both lay me down in peace,
         and quiet sleep will take;
      Because thou only me to dwell
         in safety, Lord, dost make.

Ps 35 v 1-8 Evan

0002

Used with permission of the Northern Presbytery Choir.

1  The Lord of heav'n confess,
     On high his glory raise.
  2  Him let all angels bless,
     Him all his armies praise.
  3       Him glorify
          Sun, moon, and stars;
  4       Ye higher spheres,
          And cloudy sky.


  5  From God your beings are,
     Him therefore famous make;
     You all created were,
     When he the word but spake.
  6       And from that place,
          Where fixed you be
          By his decree,
          You cannot pass.


  7  Praise God from earth below,
     Ye dragons, and ye deeps:
  8  Fire, hail, clouds, wind, and snow.
     Whom in command he keeps.
  9       Praise ye his name,
          Hills great and small,
          Trees low and tall;
 10       Beasts wild and tame;


     All things that creep or fly.
 11  Ye kings, ye vulgar throng,
     All princes mean or high;
 12  Both men and virgins young,
          Ev'n young and old,
 13       Exalt his name;
          For much his fame
          Should be extolled.


     O let God's name be praised
     Above both earth and sky;
 14  For he his saints hath raised,
     And set their horn on high;
          Ev'n those that be
          Of Isr'el's race,
          Near to his grace.
          The Lord praise ye.

TO you I lift my soul;
		you, LORD, my trust will be.
		My God, let me not be ashamed,
		nor foes gain victory.

	2	Yes, none who waits on you
		will be ashamed at all,
		but those who sin without a cause,
		let shame upon them fall.

m	3	Show me your ways, O LORD;
		your paths O teach to me,
		and lead me also in your truth;
		let it my teacher be;

	4	For you are God who sends
		salvation unto me,
		and all day long on you I wait,
		with great expectancy.

	5	Your tender mercies, LORD,
		remembered let them be,
		and loving-kindnesses, for they
		are from eternity.

mp	6	My sins and faults of youth,
		O LORD, will you forget?
		With tender mercy think of me,
		and for your goodness great.

m	7	The LORD is good and just;
		the way he’ll sinners show.
		In justice, he the meek will guide;
		his path he’ll make them know.

	8	All pathways of the LORD
		are truth and mercy sure,
		to those who keep his covenant
		and testimonies pure.
