Psalm 20 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

1  Jehovah hear thee in the day
         when trouble he doth send:
      And let the name of Jacob's God
         thee from all ill defend.

   2  O let him help send from above,
         out of his sanctuary:
      From Zion, his own holy hill,
         let him give strength to thee.

   3  Let him remember all thy gifts,
         accept thy sacrifice:
   4  Grant thee thine heart's wish, and fulfill
         thy thoughts and counsel wise.

   5  In thy salvation we will joy;
         in our God's name we will
      Display our banners: and the Lord
         thy prayers all fulfill.

(Meter: LM)

1 LORD, in your wrath rebuke me not;
In anger do not chasten me.
2 Have mercy, LORD, for I am faint;
LORD, heal me in my agony.

3 My soul with anguish is distressed.
O LORD, how long will you delay?
4 Turn to me, LORD, and free my soul;
In steadfast love save me, I pray.

5 No one in death remembers you;
Who from the grave can give you praise?
6 My groaning weakens me; at night
My bed is drenched with tears always.

7 My eyes grow weak with tears of grief;
They fail because of all my foes.
8 Away from me, you evil crowd!
The LORD has listened to my woes.

9 The LORD has heard my prayer for help;
The LORD has listened to my plea.
10 My enemies, disgraced and shamed,
Will turn back from me suddenly

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.

Psalm 15 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded by the Northern Presbytery Choir of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland.

1  Within thy tabernacle, Lord,
         who shall abide with thee?
      And in thy high and holy hill
         who shall a dweller be?

   2  The man that walketh uprightly,
         and worketh righteousness,
      And as he thinketh in his heart,
         so doth he truth express.

   3  Who doth not slander with his tongue,
         nor to his friend doth hurt;
      Nor yet against his neighbor doth
         take up an ill report.

   4  In whose eyes vile men are despised;
         but those that God do fear
      He honoureth; and changeth not,
         though to his hurt he swear.

   5  His coin puts not to usury,
         nor take reward will he
      Against the guiltless. Who doth thus
         shall never movèd be.

1 O LORD, how many are my foes!
How many up against me rise!
2 They all are saying now of me,
“In vain he on his God relies.”

3 But you are my protector, LORD;
You are a shield around me spread.
My glory comes from you alone,
The one who raises up my head.

4 When to the LORD I lift my voice,
In face of those who hate me still,
The LORD will hear my cry to him
And answer from his holy hill.

5 Each night I settle down to rest;
and sleep in peace, I wake again.
6 I will not fear ten thousand foes
Because the lord will me sustain

PSALM 13 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

1  How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
       shall it for ever be?
    O how long shall it be that thou
       wilt hide thy face from me?

 2  How long take counsel in my soul,
       still sad in heart, shall I?
    How long exalted over me
       shall be mine enemy?

 3  O Lord my God, consider well,
       and answer to me make:
    Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
       of death me overtake:

 4  Lest that mine enemy should say,
       Against him I prevailed;
    And those that trouble me rejoice,
       when I am moved and failed.

 5  But I have all my confidence
       thy mercy set upon;
    My heart within me shall rejoice
       in thy salvation.

 6  I will unto the Lord my God
       sing praises cheerfully,
    Because he hath his bounty shown
       to me abundantly.
