Psalm 23 (Tune: Away In a Manger)

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.

Psalm 23 (Tune: Amazing Grace)

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

Psalm 100 (Tune: Old 100th) (RPCNA Synod)

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion lasts from age to age.
14 The LORD sustains all those who fall; the bowed down
he raises up. 15All fix on you their gaze,
and you them feed. 16You open wide your hand;
so all that lives you satisfy.
m 17 The LORD is righteous, pure in all his ways,
and all his deeds are truly kind.

18 The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all those who in truth call on his name.
19 He will fulfil the wants of those who fear him;
and he will hear their cry and will them save.
20 The LORD keeps all who show their love to him;
d the wicked, though, he will destroy.
f 21 My mouth will praise the LORD, and all will bless
his holy name forevermore.

Psalm 4 From The Book of Psalms for Singing - Crown & Covenant Publications

Psalm 4 (Tune: Penitence)

Who go to sea in ships, and in
great waters trading be,
Within the deep these men God's works
and his great wonders see.

For he commands, and forth in haste
the stormy tempest flies,
Which makes the sea with rolling waves
aloft to swell and rise.

They mount to heav'n, then to the depths
they do go down again;
Their soul doth faint and melt away
with trouble and with pain.

They reel and stagger like one drunk,
at their wit's end they be:
Then they to God in trouble cry,
who them from straits doth free.

The storm is changed into a calm
at his command and will;
So that the waves, which raged before,
now quiet are and still.

Then are they glad, because at rest
and quiet now they be:
So to the haven he them brings,
which they desired to see.

Psalm 107v23-30

Psalm 42 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at 'Arbroath' youth weekend.

5  O why art thou cast down, my soul?
         why in me so dismayed?
      Trust God, for I shall praise him yet,
         his count'nance is mine aid.

      7  At the noise of thy water-spouts
         deep unto deep doth call;
      Thy breaking waves pass over me,
         yea, and thy billows all.

   8  His loving-kindness yet the Lord
         command will in the day,
      is song's with me by night; to God,
         by whom I live, I'll pray:

   9  And I will say to God my rock,
         Why me forgett'st thou so?
      Why, for my foes' oppression,
         thus mourning do I go?

1 You mighty ones, give to the LORD as his right,
Ascribe to the LORD God both glory and might.
2 To the LORD’s name due glory and honour accord;
In beauty of holiness worship the LORD.

3 The LORD’s voice is over the waters abroad,
And thunder proceeds from the glorious God.
Above all the waters God’s thunder is heard;
4 A powèrful voice is the voice of the LORD.

The voice of the LORD is majestic and loud;
5 By the voice of the LORD the great cedars are bowed.
Yes, even the cedars of Lebanon tall,
The LORD breaks in pieces and shatters them all.

10 The LORD over floods sits as monarch alone;
The LORD sits for ever as King on his throne.
11 The LORD makes the strength of his people increase;
The LORD gives his people the blessing of peace.

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.”

10 All those who know your name, O LORD,

( 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

The Good Life

Settled - Psalm 37:1-11 (feat. Esther Ellis)

2	Salvation, which is from the LORD,
		he has caused to be known.
		His righteousness has been revealed,
		to nations has been shown.

	3	He mindful of his grace and truth
		to Isr’el’s house has been,
		and the salvation of our God
		all ends of earth have seen.

	4	Let all the earth unto the LORD
		now make a joyful noise.
		Lift up your voice aloud to him;
		sing praises and rejoice.

	5	With harp, with harp and voice of praise
		unto the LORD now sing.
		With horn and trumpets gladly shout
		before the LORD, the king.

	6	Let sea and all that fills it roar,
		the world and dwellers there.
		Let rivers clap their hands; as one
		let mountains joy declare

	7	Before the LORD, because he comes
		judge of the earth to be.
		He’ll judge the world and peoples all
		with righteous equity.

	3	Their soul within them fainted when	they hungered and did thirst.
		In trouble to the LORD they cried;	he saved them when distressed.

	4	Them also in a way to walk,	that straight is, he did guide,
		that they might to a city go,	in which they could reside.

	Let them give thanks now to the Lord	for love that never ends,
		and for his works of wonder done	unto the sons of men;

	6	For he the soul that thirsty is	does fully satisfy.
		With what is good, the hungry soul	he fills abundantly.

Text from: Psalms for Singing – A 21st Century Edition (2004)

1  SHOUT to God with joy all nations.
2  Sing the splendour of his name;
    make his praise resound with glory.
3 `Awesome are your works', proclaim.
 
   There in him let us be joyful;
7 he rules ever by his might,
   over all the nations watching;
   let not rebels rise to fight.
 
8 Bless our God, O all you peoples;
   let his praises loudly sound.
9 He has kept our souls still living,
   placed our feet on solid ground;
 
16  Come and listen, all God-fearers;
      I'll tell what he did for me.
17  With my mouth to him I cried, and
      with my tongue extolled was he.
 
18  Had I in my heart regarded
      sin, the Lord would not me hear;
19  God most certainly has heard me,
      and has listened to my prayer.
 
20 Blessed be God because he has not
     turned away from him my plea,
     and his cov'nant loving-kindness
     he has not withheld from me.

Psalm 145 B  v13-21 (Tune: O Store Gud / How Great Thou Art)

THE earth and the riches with which it is stored,
the world and its dwellers belong to the LORD,
for he on the seas its foundations has laid,
and firm on the waters its pillars has made.
 
	O who will the hill of the LORD now ascend,
or who in the place of his holiness stand?
	The man of pure heart and of hands without stain,
who has not sworn falsely or loved what is vain.
 
	He will from the LORD then a blessing receive;
the God of salvation will righteousness give.
	Thus looking to him is this whole present race,
all those who, like Jacob, are seeking your face.

He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me

And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for His own Name's sake.
 
3. Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill,
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod

In presence of my foes;

And my cup overflows.

And in God's house forevermore

1 Praise God, my soul! With all my heart
Let me exalt his holy name.
2 Forget not all his benefits;
His praise, my soul, in song proclaim.
3 The LORD forgives you all your sins,
And heals your sickness and distress;
4 Your life he rescues from the grave,
And crowns you in his tenderness.

5 He satisfies your deep desires
From his unending stores of good,
So that, just like the eagle’s strength,
Your youthful vigour is renewed.
6 The LORD is known for righteous acts
And justice to downtrodden ones.
7 To Moses he made known his ways,
His mighty deeds to Israel’s sons.

8 The LORD is merciful and kind,
To anger slow, and full of grace.
9 He will not constantly reprove,
Or in his anger hide his face.
10 He does not punish our misdeeds,
Or give our sins their just reward.
11 How great his love—as high as heaven—
Towards all those who fear the LORD!
