“I’m Gonna Keep Trusting” Written by J. Walley Eng/Español

Psalm 6 (LM) - Soldau

Copyright: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). 
Sung by Dowanvale Free Church Of Scotland

1 The world and all in it are God’s,
all peoples of the earth,
2 For it was founded by the LORD
upon the seas beneath.
3 Who may ascend the hill of God,
or in his temple stand?
4 The one who shuns false gods and lies,
who’s pure in heart and hand.
5 He will find favour from the LORD,
and from his Saviour grace.
6 Thus are they blessed, O Jacob’s God,
who truly seek your face.
7 You ancient gates, lift up your heads;
you doors, be opened wide—
So may the King of glory come
for ever to abide.
8 But who is this exalted King?
What glorious King is he?
It is the LORD of strength and might,
the LORD of victory.
9 You ancient gates, lift up your heads;
you doors, be opened wide—
So may the King of glory come
for ever to abide.
10 But who is this exalted King?
Who can this sovereign be?
The LORD Almighty, he is King
of glory, none but he.

Psalm 24 (Tune: Winchester)

1 LORD our God, remember David
and the hardships which he bore.
2 To the Mighty One of Jacob,
to the LORD, this oath he swore:
3 “My house I will never enter;
4 rest and slumber I will shun,
5 Till I find the LORD a dwelling
fit for Jacob’s Mighty One.”

12 “If your sons will keep my covenant
and the statutes I make known,
Surely then shall their descendants
sit for ever on your throne.”
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion—
there he wishes to remain:
14 “Here’s my resting place for ever,
here it pleases me to reign.

15 “I will bless her with abundance;
for her poor much food I’ll bring.
16 I will grant her priests salvation,
and with joy her saints will sing.
17 I will raise a horn for David,
for my chosen one a light.
18 With disgrace his foes I’ll cover;
he’ll be crowned with glory bright.”

Psalm 19 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

 1  The heav'ns God's glory do declare,
         the skies his hand-works preach:
   2  Day utters speech to day, and night
         to night doth knowledge teach.

   3  There is no speech nor tongue to which
         their voice doth not extend:
   4  Their line is gone through all the earth,
         their words to the world's end.

      In them he set the sun a tent;
   5     Who, bridegroom-like, forth goes
      From's chamber, as a strong man doth
         to run his race rejoice.

   6  From heav'n's end is his going forth,
         circling to th' end again;
      And there is nothing from his heat
         that hidden doth remain.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650

   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.

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 143 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 30th Glasgow Recital 2001 by a Free Church of Scotland Choir, used with permission. Meter: 66.66D

6  Lo, I do stretch my hands
       To thee, my help alone;
    For thou well understands
       All my complaint and moan:
    My thirsting soul desires,
       And longeth after thee,
    As thirsty ground requires
       With rain refreshed to be.

 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.

 1  That man hath perfect blessedness,
         who walketh not astray
      In counsel of ungodly men,
         nor stands in sinners' way,

   2  Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:
         But placeth his delight
      Upon God's law, and meditates
         on his law day and night.

   3  He shall be like a tree that grows
         near planted by a river,
      Which in his season yields his fruit,
         and his leaf fadeth never:

   4  And all he doth shall prosper well
         The wicked are not so;
      But like they are unto the chaff,
         which wind drives to and fro.

   5  In judgment therefore shall not stand
         such as ungodly are; 
      Nor in th' assembly of the just
         shall wicked men appear.

   6  For why? the way of godly men
         unto the Lord is known:
      Whereas the way of wicked men
         shall quite be overthrown.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

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.
