(LM)
7 Then I declared, “LORD, I have come;
It’s written of me in the scroll.
8 I want to do your will, my God;
Your law is in my heart and soul.”

9 In the assembly when it met
Your justice I proclaimed abroad.
I did not seal my lips at all;
You know all this about me, LORD.

10 I did not hide within my heart
Your saving grace and righteousness;
In the assembly I proclaimed
Your steadfast love and faithfulness.

Psalm 40 (Tune: Wareham)

Copyright: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). 
Sung by Dowanvale Free Church Of Scotland

1 The world and all in it are God’s,
all peoples of the earth,
2 For it was founded by the LORD
upon the seas beneath.
3 Who may ascend the hill of God,
or in his temple stand?
4 The one who shuns false gods and lies,
who’s pure in heart and hand.
5 He will find favour from the LORD,
and from his Saviour grace.
6 Thus are they blessed, O Jacob’s God,
who truly seek your face.
7 You ancient gates, lift up your heads;
you doors, be opened wide—
So may the King of glory come
for ever to abide.
8 But who is this exalted King?
What glorious King is he?
It is the LORD of strength and might,
the LORD of victory.
9 You ancient gates, lift up your heads;
you doors, be opened wide—
So may the King of glory come
for ever to abide.
10 But who is this exalted King?
Who can this sovereign be?
The LORD Almighty, he is King
of glory, none but he.

Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Recorded @ Dowanvale Free Church. (Long meter)

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 13 (CM)
1 How long will you forget me, LORD?
Will you forget always?
How long, LORD, will you hide your face
and turn from me your gaze?

2 How long must I be sad each day
in deep perplexity?
How long will my opponent stand
in triumph over me?

3 O LORD my God, consider me
and give me your reply.
Light up my eyes or I will sleep
the sleep of those who die.

4 Then would my enemy declare,
“At last I’ve laid him low!”
And so my foes would sing for joy
to see my overthrow.

5 But still I trust your constant love;
you save and set me free.
6 With joy I will extol the LORD
who has been good to me.

5 For in his dwelling he will keep
me safe in troubled days;
Within his tent he’ll shelter me,
and on a rock me raise.

6 My head will then be lifted high
above my enemies;
And in his tent I’ll sacrifice
with shouts of joy and praise.

7 LORD, hear me when I call to you;
be merciful and speak!
8 “Come, seek my face!” you told my heart;
your face, LORD, I will seek.

9 O do not hide your face from me,
and do not turn aside
Your servant in your righteous wrath,
for you have been my guide.

1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock;
Do not be deaf to my loud cry.
I’ll be like those gone down to death,
If you are silent in reply.

2 Receive my plea for mercy, LORD,
As now I call to you for grace,
As I lift up my hands in prayer
And look to your Most Holy Place.

6 Praise to the LORD, for he has heard
The plea for mercy which I made.
7 He is my strength, he is my shield;
I trust in him who sends me aid.

9 LORD, save your people, your own flock;
Be pleased your heritage to bless.
Be their good shepherd; carry them
For ever in your faithfulness.

Psalm 28 v1-2, 6-9 (Tune: Walton)

Psalm 39 Copyright: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Sung acapella at 28rd Glasgow Recital 1999 (Meter: CMD)

1 I said, “Now let me watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin.
I’ll put a muzzle on my mouth while I’m with wicked men.”
2 When I was silent and kept still and firmly held my peace,
Not speaking even what was good, this made my pain increase.

3 Because of this my heart grew hot; the fire burned strong indeed
The more I mused upon it all. Then I began to plead:
4 “LORD, show me that my life will end— how many days I’ll see—
And cause me, LORD, to understand how brief my life will be.

5 “O LORD, how short you make my days before I sink in death.
My years are nothing in your sight; man’s life is but a breath.
6 “Like shadows people go about; they bustle to and fro.
They heap up wealth, but do not know to whom their wealth will go.

Psalm 39 v1-6 (Tune: Kinlochewe)

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.

Psalm 12 sung a capella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: (11 10 11 10)

	1	Help, LORD, because the godly have quite vanished,
			and faithful folk we can no longer see.
	2	Each one tells falsehood even to his neighbour;
			with flattering lips they speak deceitfully.

	3	Now may the LORD cut off all lips which flatter,
			and every tongue which speaks with boastful word.
	4	Such people say, “We with our tongues will triumph;
			we own our lips—who then can be our lord?”

	5	“Because the weak have suffered great oppression,
			and I have heard the needy’s groaning cries,
		Now I will guard them from those who malign them.
			To help them,” says the LORD, “I will arise.”

		7	O LORD, you will preserve us safe for ever
			and from this evil age keep us secure;
	8	For here the wicked strut about quite freely,
			and praise is giv’n to all that is impure.

	4	One thing I’ll plead before the LORD,
			and this I’ll seek always:
		That I may come within God’s house
			and dwell there all my days—

		That on the beauty of the LORD
			I constantly may gaze,
		And in his house may seek to know
			direction in his ways.

	5	For in his dwelling he will keep
			me safe in troubled days;
		Within his tent he’ll shelter me,
			and on a rock me raise.

	6	My head will then be lifted high

		And in his tent I’ll sacrifice

Psalm 27 v4-6 (Tune: Argyle)

PSALM 27 sung acapella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland) Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church.

2 When evildoers threaten me
to take my life away,
My adversaries and my foes
will stumble in that day.

3 Although an army hems me in,
my heart will feel no dread;
Though war against me should arise,
I will lift up my head.

4 One thing I’ll plead before the LORD,
and this I’ll seek always:
That I may come within God’s house
and dwell there all my days—

That on the beauty of the LORD
I constantly may gaze,
And in his house may seek to know
direction in his ways.
