Psalm 20 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

1  Jehovah hear thee in the day
         when trouble he doth send:
      And let the name of Jacob's God
         thee from all ill defend.

   2  O let him help send from above,
         out of his sanctuary:
      From Zion, his own holy hill,
         let him give strength to thee.

   3  Let him remember all thy gifts,
         accept thy sacrifice:
   4  Grant thee thine heart's wish, and fulfill
         thy thoughts and counsel wise.

   5  In thy salvation we will joy;
         in our God's name we will
      Display our banners: and the Lord
         thy prayers all fulfill.

Psalm 20 (Tune: Orton)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Sung by Inverness, Free North, Free Church of Scotland.

 21  All praise and thanks be to the Lord;
         for he hath magnified
      His wondrous love to me within
         a city fortified.

  22  For from thine eyes cut off I am,
         I in my haste had said;
      My voice yet heard'st thou, when to thee
         with cries my moan I made.
 
 23  O love the Lord, all ye his saints;
         because the Lord doth guard
      The faithful, and he plenteously
         proud doers doth reward.

  24  Be of good courage, and He strength
         unto your heart shall send,
      All ye whose hope and confidence
         doth on the Lord depend.

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.

1  My heart is fixed, Lord; I will sing,
       and with my glory praise.
 2  Awake up psaltery and harp;
       myself I'll early raise.

 3  I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord;
       'mong nations sing will I:
 4  For above heav'n thy mercy's great,
       thy truth doth reach the sky.

 5  Be thou above the heavens, Lord,
       exalted gloriously;
    Thy glory all the earth above
       be lifted up on high.

 6  That those who thy beloved are
       deliver-ed may be,
    O do thou save with thy right hand,
       and answer give to me.

20  Unto thy cov'nant have respect;
         for earth's dark places be
      Full of the habitations
         of horrid cruelty.

  21  O let not those that be oppressed
         return again with shame:
      Let those that poor and needy are
         give praise unto thy name.

  22  Do thou, O God, arise and plead
         the cause that is thine own:
      Remember how thou art reproached
         still by the foolish one.

  23  Do not forget the voice of those
         that are thine enemies:
      Of those the tumult ever grows
         that do against thee rise.

Psalm 45 v 13

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) Recorded @ Arbroath FCC Youth Weekend
Meter: CM

  5  For thou a little lower hast
         him than the angels made;
      With glory and with dignity
         thou crowned hast his head.

   6  Of thy hands' works thou mad'st him lord,
         all under's feet didst lay;
   7  All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts
         that in the field do stray;

   8  Fowls of the air, fish of the sea,
         all that pass through the same.
   9  How excellent in all the earth,
         Lord, our Lord, is thy name!

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

8  The statutes of the Lord are right,
         and do rejoice the heart:
      The Lord's command is pure, and doth
         light to the eyes impart.

   9  Unspotted is the fear of God,
         and doth endure for ever:
      The judgments of the Lord are true
         and righteous altogether.

  10  They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
         to be desired are:
      Than honey, honey from the comb
         that droppeth, sweeter far.

  11  Moreover, they thy servant warn
         how he his life should frame:
      A great reward provided is
         for them that keep the same.
