From Sing psalms (2003)

	3	Yet you are holy: on the praise
		Of Israèl you are enthroned.
	4	In you our fathers put their trust;
		They trusted, and were not disowned.

	5	They called, and you delivered them;
		You listened to them when they cried.
		Our fathers were not put to shame,
		Because on you they had relied.

Psalm 22 v3-5 (Tune: Marrel)

PSALM 116 sung acapella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland) Recorded at Dowanvale free Church September 2014. Meter: 10.10.10.10

5	The LORD our God is kind and full of grace;
		Both righteous and compassionate is he.
	6	The LORD protects all those of childlike faith;
		When I was in great need, he rescued me.

	7	Rest, O my soul; God has been good to you—
	8	For you, O LORD, have saved my soul from death,
		My feet from stumbling and my eyes from tears,
	9	That I may live for you while I have breath.

	10	I trusted in the LORD, and then I spoke;
		I said in anguish: “I am sorely tried”.
	11	And in the very depths of my dismay,
		“All men are liars—every one!” I cried.

	12	How can I thank the LORD for all he’s done?
	13	With gratitude salvation’s cup I’ll raise;
	14	I’ll call upon his name, and will fulfil
		My vows to him before his people’s face.

Psalm 116 (Tune: Eventide)

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 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.

Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). ) Meter: 87.87.77

1 How delightful are your dwellings,
O Almighty LORD, to me!
2 For your courts my soul is yearning;
in your house I long to be.
Heart and flesh cry out aloud
for the true and living God.

3 Even sparrows find their dwelling,
and the swallow builds a nest
Near your altar, LORD Almighty,
where her offspring may have rest.
4 Blessed whose home is your abode,
they are ever praising God.

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
those who have a pilgrim’s mind.
6 Pools from autumn rains refresh them;
springs in Baca’s vale they find.
7 Strength increasing, Zionward
they go on their way to God.

PSALM 133 from Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland) Meter: CM

1 How excellent a thing it is,
how pleasant and how good,
When brothers dwell in unity
and live as brothers should!

2 For it is like the precious oil,
poured out on Aaron’s head,
That, running over, down his beard,
upon his collar spread.

3 Like Hermon’s dew, upon the hill
of Zion it descends.
The LORD bestows his blessing there—
the life that never ends.

3 O God, may the peoples praise you;
may all peoples sing your praise.
4 For you judge the nations justly,
ruling over every race.

May they sing with joy and gladness;
may they all rejoice as one.
5 O God, may the peoples praise you
as they all unite in song.

6 Then the land will yield its harvest;
God will pour his gifts abroad.
7 God, our God, will surely bless us;
all the earth will fear our God.

8	Before me constantly
			I set the LORD alone.
		Because he is at my right hand
			I’ll not be overthrown.

	9	Therefore my heart is glad;
			my tongue with joy will sing.
		My body too will rest secure
			in hope unwavering.

	10	For you will not allow
			my soul in death to stay,
		Nor will you leave your Holy One
			to see the tomb’s decay.

	11	You have made known to me
			the path of life divine.
		Bliss shall I know at your right hand;
			joy from your face will shine.

1 In you, O LORD, I’ve taken refuge;
protect me ever from disgrace.
2 Rescue and save me in your justice;
turn to me as I seek your face.

3 Be my strong rock and my sure refuge
to which I always may resort;
Give the command to help and save me,
because you are my rock and fort.

4 From wicked hands, my God, O save me,
from cruel hands of violence.
5 For, Sov’reign LORD, you’ve been my refuge
and since my youth my confidence.

6 From birth I have relied upon you;
you are the guide of all my ways.
Out of my mother’s womb you brought me;
to you I ever will give praise.

7 To many I’m a cause of wonder,
but you are still my refuge strong.
8 My mouth is filled with adoration,
praising your splendour all day long

	5	With joy we will shout when your victory’s won;
		We’ll lift up our banners in God’s name alone.
		And so may the LORD hear your earnest request,
		And answer your prayèrs as seems to him best.

	6	Now truly I know that the LORD from above
		Protects his anointed in covenant love;
		From heav’n in his holiness God hears his cry,
		And saves by the pow’r of his right hand on high.

	7	In horses or chariots some trust for defence,
		But the name of the LORD is our strong confidence.
	8	They’re brought to their knees, while in strength we arise.
	9	O LORD, save the king!  Hear and answer our cries!
