Psalm 68 - Ericstane

Psalm 71 - Spiritus Vitae

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

16 - Innes Psalm 23 Sing Psalms

Psalm 25 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 30th Glasgow Psalmody Recital (2001), used with permission. Meter: SM

12     What man is he that fears
         the Lord, and doth him serve?
      Him shall he teach the way that he
         shall choose, and still observe.

  13     His soul shall dwell at ease;
         and his posterity
      Shall flourish still, and of the earth
         inheritors shall be.

  14     With those that fear him is
         the secret of the Lord;
      The knowledge of his covenant
         he will to them afford.

  15     Mine eyes upon the Lord
         continually are set:
      For he it is that shall bring forth
         my feet out of the net.

Psalm 25 v12-15 (Tune: Kerry)

Psalm 106 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 23rd Glasgow Psalmody Recital (1994), used with permission.


  1  Give praise and thanks unto the Lord,
        for bountiful is he;
     His tender mercy doth endure
        unto eternity.

  2  God's mighty works who can express?
        or shew forth all his praise?
  3  Blessed are they that judgment keep,
        and justly do always.

  4  Remember me, Lord, with that love
        which thou to thine dost bear;
     With thy salvation, O my God,
        to visit me draw near:

  5  That I thy chosen's good may see,
        and in their joy rejoice;
     And may with thine inheritance
        triumph with cheerful voice.

Psalm 106 v1-5 (Tune: Caithness)

PSALM 34 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

1  Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.
 2     My voice, Lord, do thou hear:
    Unto my supplication's voice
       give an attentive ear.

 3  Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,
       should'st mark iniquity?
 4  But yet with thee forgiveness is,
       that feared thou mayest be.

 5  I wait for God, my soul doth wait,
       my hope is in his word.
 6  More than they that for morning watch,
       my soul waits for the Lord;

    I say, more than they that do watch
       the morning light to see.
 7  Let Israel hope in the Lord,
       for with him mercies be;

    And plenteous redemption
       is ever found with him.
 8  And from all his iniquities
       he Isr'el shall redeem.

Psalm 130 (Tune: Martyrs)

Adapted from the Book of Psalms for Singing. Meter: CM

Who forgives all your transgressions,
Your diseases all Who heals;
From destruction he redeems,
with you so kindly deals.

Who with love and mercy crowns you;
Satisfies your mouth with good,
So that even like the eagle you
art blessed with youth renewed.

In His righteousness Jehovah
Will deliver those distressed;
He will justice then display
To all that are oppressed.

Psalm 100 (Tune: Old 100th) - Scottish Psalter of 1596

Psalm 84 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 23rd Glasgow Psalmody Recital (1994), used with permission.

 1  How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
         O Lord of hosts, to me!
      The tabernacles of thy grace
         how pleasant, Lord, they be!

   2  My thirsty soul longs veh'mently,
         yea faints, thy courts to see:
      My very heart and flesh cry out,
         O living God, for thee.

   3  Behold, the sparrow findeth out
         an house wherein to rest;
      The swallow also for herself
         hath purchased a nest;

      Ev'n thine own altars,* where she safe
         her young ones forth may bring,
      O thou almighty Lord of hosts,
         who art my God and King.

   4  Blessed are they in thy house that dwell,
         they ever give thee praise.
   5  Blessed is the man whose strength thou art,
         in whose heart are thy ways:
