1 Blessed is the one who turns away
from where the wicked walk,
Who does not stand in sinners’ paths
or sit with those who mock.

2 Instead he finds God’s holy law
his joy and great delight;
He makes the precepts of the LORD
his study day and night.

3 He prospers ever like a tree
that’s planted by a stream,
And in due season yields its fruit;
its leaves are always green.

4 Not so the wicked! They are like
the chaff that’s blown away.
5 They will not stand when judgment comes
or with the righteous stay.

6 It is the LORD who sees and knows
the way the righteous go,
But those who live an evil life
the LORD will overthrow.

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.

	7	The king then solemnly declares:
		“I will proclaim the LORD’s decree.
		‘Today your father I’ve become;
		You are my son,’ he said to me.

	8	“ ‘Ask me, and for your heritage
		I’ll give you nations near and far.
	9	You’ll break them with an iron rod,
		And smash them like a potter’s jar.’ ”

	10	Now therefore, kings, true wisdom find;
		You judges of the earth, give ear.
	11	With rev’rence come and serve the LORD;
		Bow down with joy and trembling fear.

	12	Pay homage to the royal son
		Lest you in wrath aside are thrust,
		For swiftly can his anger blaze.
		Blessèd are all who in him trust.

7 The LORD for ever reigns on high;
his throne for judgment stands.
8 He’ll judge the world in righteousness,
with justice rule the lands.

9 The LORD will be a hiding place
for those who are oppressed,
And he will be a strong defence
for those who are distressed.

10 All those who know your name, O LORD,
in you their trust will place,
For you do not abandon those
who seek your gracious face.

11 Sing praises to the LORD who sits
in Zion on his throne;
Among the nations of the world
proclaim what he has done.

1 O LORD, give ear to what I say;
think on me as I sigh,
2 And listen, O my King and God,
As I plead earnestly for help,
because to you I cry.

3 At dawning of the day, O LORD,
you listen to my plea;
As morning light returns again,
I lay before you my requests
and wait expectantly.

4 For you are not a God who will
in evil take delight;
With you the wicked cannot dwell,
5 Nor can the proud and boastful stay
one moment in your sight.

You hate all those who practise wrong,
6 and liars you destroy.
These are the ones the LORD abhors—
All who go thirsting after blood
and who deceit employ.

7 But by your mercy and your grace
to your house I’ll draw near;
I will bow down in reverence
Towards your holy temple, LORD,
and worship you in fear.

PSALM 100 from Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland) Meter: SM

1 Shout to the LORD with joy,
all who to earth belong.
2 Adore the LORD with joyful hearts
and come to him in song.

3 Know that the LORD is God;
he made us as his own.
We are the sheep for whom he cares—
his people, his alone.

4 Enter his gates with praise,
his courts with thankfulness.
Your praises gladly sing to him;
his name for ever bless.

5 For God the LORD is good;
his love is ever sure.
His constant truth and faithfulness
through every age endure

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.”

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.

Psalm 6 sung acapella from Sing Psalms, 2003. Sung at the 23rd Free Church of Scotland Glasgow Psalmody Recital, 1994

1 LORD, in your wrath rebuke me not;
In anger do not chasten me.
2 Have mercy, LORD, for I am faint;
LORD, heal me in my agony.

3 My soul with anguish is distressed.
O LORD, how long will you delay?
4 Turn to me, LORD, and free my soul;
In steadfast love save me, I pray.

5 No one in death remembers you;
Who from the grave can give you praise?
6 My groaning weakens me; at night
My bed is drenched with tears always.

7 My eyes grow weak with tears of grief;
They fail because of all my foes.
8 Away from me, you evil crowd!
The LORD has listened to my woes.

9 The LORD has heard my prayer for help;
The LORD has listened to my plea.
10 My enemies, disgraced and shamed,
Will turn back from me suddenly.
