1     Lord, bless and pity us,

         may know thy saving grace.

   3     Let people praise thee, Lord;

   4  O let the nations be glad,

         Thou'lt justly people judge,
         on earth rule nations all.
   5  Let people praise thee, Lord; let them

PSALM 110		(Meter: S.M.)
		
	3	When you display your power,
			your people flock to you;
		At dawn, arrayed in holiness,
			your youth will come like dew.

	4	Unchangeably the LORD
			with solemn purpose swore:
		“Just like Melchizedek you are
			a priest for evermore.”

	5	The Lord’s at your right hand;
			there he will ever stay.
		He on his day of wrath will crush
			the kings who bar his way.

	6	The nations he will judge;
			the dead in heaps will lie.
		The mighty of the earth he’ll crush—
			all who his rule defy.

	4	In anger do not break God’s law;
			consider and be still.
	5	Present a righteous sacrifice,
			and wait upon his will.

	6	“O who can show us any good?”
			I hear so many say.
		O LORD, shine on us with your light;
			show us your face, I pray.

	7	You filled my heart with greater joy
			than others may have found
		As they rejoiced at harvest time,
			when grain and wine abound.

	8	I will lie down and sleep in peace;
			my heart will rest secure,
		For you alone, O gracious LORD,
			will keep me safe and sure.

Sung acapella from: the scottish psalter of 1650

All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth; His praise forth tell: Come ye before Him and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make.
We are His folk; He doth us feed, and for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise; Within His courts your thanks proclaim;
With grateful hearts your voices raise to bless and magnify His name.

Because the Lord our God is good, His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood and shall from age to age endure

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 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.

You are my Saviour and my God;
All day I hope in you alone.
6 Remember, LORD, your love and grace
Which from past ages you have shown.

7 Do not recall my sins of youth
Or my rebellious, evil ways;
Remember me in your great love,
For you, O LORD, are good always.

8 Because the LORD is just and good,
He shows his paths to all who stray.
9 He guides the meek in what is right
And teaches them his holy way.

10 To those who keep his covenant laws
He shows his love consistently.
11 For your name’s sake, O LORD my God,
Forgive my great iniquity.

PSALM 105  (meter: 11 11 11 11)

1 Give thanks to the LORD God and call on his name;
His wonderful deeds to the nations proclaim.
2 Sing praises to him, and his exploits record;
3 Let all those who seek him rejoice in the LORD.

4 You chosen ones, look to the LORD and his might;
5 Seek ever his face, and his wonders recite,
His miracles too, and his judgments divine—
6 You children of Abraham, Jacob’s own line.

7 The LORD is our God, and he rules all the earth.
8 Rememb’ring his cov’nant—the word he set forth—
He vowed, for the ages to come, to make good
9 His promise to Abr’ham, to Isaac renewed.

10 To Jacob his sov’reign decree was made sure;
With Isr’el his cov’nant would always endure:
11 “To you I will give, as your portion to stand,
The country of Canaan, the beautiful land.”

( 11. 11. 11.)
1 The LORD is my shepherd; no want shall I know.
2 He makes me lie down where the green pastures grow;
He leads me to rest where the calm waters flow.

3 My wandering steps he brings back to his way,
In straight paths of righteousness making me stay;
And this he has done his great name to display.

4 Though I walk in death’s valley, where darkness is near,
Because you are with me, no evil I’ll fear;
Your rod and your staff bring me comfort and cheer.

5 In the sight of my en’mies a table you spread.
The oil of rejoicing you pour on my head;
My cup overflows and I’m graciously fed.

6 So surely your covenant mercy and grace
Will follow me closely in all of my ways;
I will dwell in the house of the LORD all my days.

1 Wholehearted thanksgiving to you I will bring;
In praise of your marvellous works I will sing.
2 For joy I will shout and exultantly cry
In praise of your glorious name, O Most High.

3 My enemies turn in disorderly flight;
They stumble and perish in face of your might.
4 For you have defended my right and my cause;
You sat in just judgment, upholding your laws.

5 You threatened the nations, the wicked destroyed;
Their names you erased and for ever made void.
6 My foes are disgraced and completely undone,
Their cities uprooted, their memory gone.

7 The LORD sits for ever as king on his throne;
His rule is established for justice alone.
8 He judges the world and he does what is right;
He governs the nations with justice and might

 2     My voice, Lord, do thou hear:

 3  Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,

 7  Let Israel hope in the Lord,

 8  And from all his iniquities
       he Isr'el shall redeem.

         ride prosp'rously in state;
      And thy right hand shall teach to thee
         things terrible and great.

   5     Thy shafts shall pierce their hearts
