Oh thou who art The LORD my God,
I in distress to thee:
With loud cries lifted up my voice,
And thou hast healed me.
Oh Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,
And rescued from the grave.
That I, to pit, should not go down,
Alive, thou didst me save.
Oh hear that harp His holy ones,
Sing praise unto The LORD,
And give unto Him thanks when He, His holiness recalled.
For but a moment lasts His wrath,
Life in His favor lies.
Weeping may for a night endure,
At morn, doth joy arise.

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) 
Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM)

 10  Be still, and know that I am God;
         among the heathen I
      Will be exalted; I on earth
         will be exalted high.

  11  Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
         is still upon our side;
      The God of Jacob our refuge
         for ever will abide.

Psalm 46 v10-11 (Tune: Wiltshire) "Be still, and know that I am God"

Psalm 25 v 1-7 (Malan)

I suppose the title should read 'found recordings' huh

From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

Lyrics:
Praise ye the Lord; for it is good praise to our God to sing: 
for it is pleasant, and to praise it is a comely thing. 
God doth build up Jerusalem; and he it is a alone 
that the dispers'd of Isreal doth gather into one. 

Those that are broken in their heart, and grieved in their mind, 
He healeth, and their painful wounds he tenderly upbinds. 
He counts the number of the stars; he names them every one. 
Great is our Lord, and of great power; his wisdom search can none. 

The Lord lifts up the meek and casts the wicked to the ground. 
Sing to the Lord, and give him thanks; on harp his praises sound; 
Who covereth the heav'n with clouds who for the earth below 
prepareth rain, who maketh grass upon the mountains grow.

Psalm 147 v1-8 (Tune: Thanksgiving)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (recording reproduced with permission)

7  God's law is perfect, and converts
         the soul in sin that lies:
      God's testimony is most sure,
         and makes the simple wise.

   8  The statutes of the Lord are right,
         and do rejoice the heart:
      The Lord's command is pure, and doth
         light to the eyes impart.

   9  Unspotted is the fear of God,
         and doth endure for ever:
      The judgments of the Lord are true
         and righteous altogether.

  10  They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
         to be desired are:
      Than honey, honey from the comb
         that droppeth, sweeter far.

  11  Moreover, they thy servant warn
         how he his life should frame:
      A great reward provided is
         for them that keep the same.

Psalm 19 v7-11 (Tune: Moravia)

1 Lord, I will thee extol, for thou
hast lifted me on high,
And over me thou to rejoice
mad’st not mine enemy.

2 O thou who art the Lord my God,
I in distress to thee,
With loud cries lifted up my voice,
and thou hast healed me.

3 O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,
and rescu’d from the grave;
That I to pit should not go down,
alive thou didst me save.

4 O ye that are his holy ones,
sing praise unto the Lord;
And give unto him thanks, when ye
his holiness record.

PSALM 34  From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

7  The angel of the Lord encamps,
         and round encompasseth
      All those about that do him fear,
         and them delivereth.

   8  O taste and see that God is good:
         who trusts in him is blessed.
   9  Fear God his saints: none that him fear
         shall be with want oppressed.

  10  The lions young may hungry be,
         and they may lack their food:
      But they that truly seek the Lord
         shall not lack any good.

  11  O children, hither do ye come,
         and unto me give ear;
      I shall you teach to understand
         how ye the Lord should fear.

Psalm 34 v7-11(Tune: Land of Rest)

Psalm 27 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)(Meter: CM)

7  O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
         when I do cry to thee;
      Upon me also mercy have,
         and do thou answer me.

   8  When thou didst say, seek ye my face,
         then unto thee reply
      Thus did my heart, above all things
         thy face, Lord, seek will I.

   9  Far from me hide not thou thy face;
         put not away from thee
      Thy servant in thy wrath: thou hast
         an helper been to me.

      O God of my salvation,
         leave me not, nor forsake:
  10  Though me my parents both should leave,
         the Lord will me up take.
