Text: Scottish Psalter (1650)  Recorded at Free North, Inverness,  Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM) Recording taken from: http://www.psalms.4t.com/page2.html

 1  I joyed when to the house of God,
       Go up, they said to me.
 2  Jerusalem, within thy gates
       our feet shall standing be.

 3  Jerus'lem, as a city, is
       compactly built together:
 4  Unto that place the tribes go up,
       the tribes of God go thither:

    To Isr'el's testimony, there
       to God's name thanks to pay.
 5  For thrones of judgment, ev'n the thrones
       of David's house, there stay.

 6  Pray that Jerusalem may have
       peace and felicity:
    Let them that love thee and thy peace
       have still prosperity.

 7  Therefore I wish that peace may still
       within thy walls remain,
    And ever may thy palaces
       prosperity retain.

 8  Now, for my friends' and brethren's sakes,
       Peace be in thee, I'll say.
 9  And for the house of God our Lord,
       I'll seek thy good alway.

Psalm 21 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)
  1  The king in thy great strength, O Lord,
         shall very joyful be:
      In thy salvation rejoice
         how veh'mently shall he!

   2  Thou hast bestowed upon him
         all that his heart would have;
      And thou from him didst not withhold
         whate'er his lips did crave.

   3  For thou with blessings him prevent'st
         of goodness manifold;
      And thou hast set upon his head
         a crown of purest gold.

   4  When he desired life of thee,
         thou life to him didst give;
      Ev'n such a length of days, that he
         for evermore should live.

5  In that salvation wrought by thee
         his glory is made great;
      Honor and comely majesty
         thou hast upon him set.

  1  The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
   2     He makes me down to lie
      In pastures green: he leadeth me
         the quiet waters by.

   3  My soul he doth restore again;
         and me to walk doth make
      Within the paths of righteousness,
         ev'n for his own name's sake.

   4  Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
         yet will I fear none ill:
      For thou art with me; and thy rod
         and staff me comfort still.

   5  My table thou hast furnished
         in presence of my foes;
      My head thou dost with oil anoint,
         and my cup overflows.

   6  Goodness and mercy all my life
         shall surely follow me:
      And in God's house for evermore
         my dwelling-place shall be.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. Recorded during a wedding at St Jude's Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland (Glasgow). circa 2011

   7  I bless the Lord, because he doth
         by counsel me conduct;
      And in the seasons of the night
         my reins do me instruct.

 8  Before me still the Lord I set:
         since it is so that he
      Doth ever stand at my right hand,
         I shall not movèd be.

   9  Because of this my heart is glad,
         and joy shall be expressed
      Ev'n by my glory; and my flesh
         in confidence shall rest.

25  Whom have I in the heavens high
         but thee, O Lord, alone?
      And in the earth whom I desire
         besides thee there is none.

  26  My flesh and heart doth faint and fail,
         but God doth fail me never:
      For of my heart God is the strength
         and portion for ever.

  27  For, lo, they that are far from thee
         for ever perish shall;
      Them that a whoring from thee go
         thou hast destroyed all.

  28  But surely it is good for me
         that I draw near to God:
      In God I trust, that all thy works
         I may declare abroad.

1  Praise God, for he is kind:
    His mercy lasts for aye.
 2  Give thanks with heart and mind
    To God of gods alway:
       For certainly
       His mercies dure
       Most firm and sure
       Eternally.

 3  The Lord of lords praise ye,
    Whose mercies still endure.

    Doth work by his great pow'r
       For certainly
       His mercies dure
       Most firm and sure
       Eternally.

 5  Which God omnipotent,
    By might and wisdom high,
    The heav'n and firmament
    Did frame, as we may see:
       For certainly
       His mercies dure

Psalm 136 [2nd version]  v1-5,25-26 (Tune: Darwall)

1  By Babel's streams we sat and wept,
       when Zion we thought on.
 2  In midst thereof we hanged our harps
       the willow-trees upon.

 3  For there a song required they,
       who did us captive bring:
    Our spoilers called for mirth, and said,
       A song of Zion sing.

 4  O how the Lord's song shall we sing
       within a foreign land?
 5  If thee, Jerus'lem, I forget,
       skill part from my right hand.

 6  My tongue to my mouth's roof let cleave,
       if I do thee forget, 
    Jerusalem, and thee above
       my chief joy do not set.

 7  Remember Edom's children, Lord,
       who in Jerus'lems day,
    Ev'n unto its foundation,
       Raze, raze it quite, did say.

 8  O daughter thou of Babylon,
       near to destruction;
    Blessed shall he be that thee rewards,
       as thou to us hast done.

 9  Yea, happy surely shall he be
       thy tender little ones
    Who shall lay hold upon, and them
       shall dash against the stones.

Psalm 15 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded by the Northern Presbytery Choir of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland.

1  Within thy tabernacle, Lord,
         who shall abide with thee?
      And in thy high and holy hill
         who shall a dweller be?

   2  The man that walketh uprightly,
         and worketh righteousness,
      And as he thinketh in his heart,
         so doth he truth express.

   3  Who doth not slander with his tongue,
         nor to his friend doth hurt;
      Nor yet against his neighbor doth
         take up an ill report.

   4  In whose eyes vile men are despised;
         but those that God do fear
      He honoureth; and changeth not,
         though to his hurt he swear.

   5  His coin puts not to usury,
         nor take reward will he
      Against the guiltless. Who doth thus
         shall never movèd be.

1  Wherefore is it that thou, O Lord,
         dost stand from us afar?
      And wherefore hidest thou thyself,
         when times so troublous are?

   2  The wicked in his loftiness
         doth persecute the poor:
      In these devices they have framed
         let them be taken sure.

17  O Lord, of those that humble are
         thou the desire didst hear;
      Thou wilt prepare their heart, and thou
         to hear wilt bend thine ear;

  18  To judge the fatherless, and those
         that are oppressed sore;
      That man, that is but sprung of earth,
         may them oppress no more.

Singing by Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland. (Meter: CM)

28  The Lord will light my candle so,
         that it shall shine full bright:
      The Lord my God will also make
         my darkness to be light.  

  29  By thee through troops of men I break,
         and them discomfit all;
      And, by my God assisting me,
         I overleap a wall.

31  Who but the Lord is God? but he
         who is a rock and stay?
  32  'Tis God that girdeth me with strength,
         and perfect makes my way.

 35  The shield of thy salvation
         thou didst on me bestow:
      Thy right hand held me up, and great
         thy kindness made me grow.
