Just noticed this is from verse 11 and not 1! 

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Used with permission of the Northern Presbytery Choir of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland.

1     Lord, haste me to deliver;
         with speed, Lord, succor me.
   2  Let them that for my soul do seek
         shamed and confounded be:

         Turned back be they, and shamed,
         that in my hurt delight.
   3  Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
         their shaming to requite.

   4     In thee let all be glad,
         and joy that seek for thee:
      Let them who thy salvation love
         say still, God praisèd be.

   5     I poor and needy am;
         come, Lord, and make no stay:
      My help thou and deliv'rer art;
         O Lord, make no delay.

Psalm 70 (Tune: Serenity)

Recording taken from: http://www.freechurchcontinuing.org/reports/news/fcc-news/item/worthy-to-be-praised-cd-volume-10.  Sung acapella from the 1650 Scottish Metrical Psalter. (Meter: CM)

 1  I love the Lord, because my voice
       and prayers he did hear.
 2  I, while I live, will call on him,
       who bowed to me his ear.

 3  Of death the cords and sorrows did
       about me compass round;
    The pains of hell took hold on me,
       I grief and trouble found.

 4  Upon the name of God the Lord
       then did I call, and say,
    Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,
       I do thee humbly pray.

 5  God merciful and righteous is,
       yea, gracious is our Lord.
 6  God saves the meek: I was brought low,
       he did me help afford.

 7  O thou my soul, do thou return
       unto thy quiet rest;
    For largely, lo, the Lord to thee
       his bounty hath expressed.

Psalm 116 v1-7  (Tune: St Columba)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland.

7  My heart is fixed, my heart is fixed,
         O God; I'll sing and praise.
   8  My glory wake; wake psalt'ry, harp;
         myself I'll early raise.

   9  I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord;
         'mong nations sing will I:
  10  For great to heav'n thy mercy is,
         thy truth is to the sky.

  11  O Lord, exalted be thy name
         above the heav'ns to stand:
      Do thou thy glory far advance
         above both sea and land.

Psalm 57 v7-11 (Tune: Warwick)

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

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

  12  What man is he that life desires,
         to see good would live long?
  13  Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,
         and from ill words thy tongue.

  14  Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,
         pursue it earnestly.
  15  God's eyes are on the just; his ears
         are open to their cry.

  16  The face of God is set against
         those that do wickedly,
      That he may quite out from the earth
         cut off their memory.

  17  The righteous cry unto the Lord,
         he unto them gives ear;
      And they out of their troubles all
         by him delivered are.

  18  The Lord is ever nigh to them
         that be of broken sp'rit;
      To them he safety doth afford
         that are in heart contrite.

Psalm 34 v11-18 (Tune: St Ethelreda)

1  Be merciful to me, O God;
         thy mercy unto me
      Do thou extend; because my soul
         doth put her trust in thee:

      Yea, in the shadow of thy wings
         my refuge I will place,
      Until these sad calamities
         do wholly overpass.

   2  My cry I will cause to ascend
         unto the Lord most high;
      To God, who doth all things for me
         perform most perfectly.

   3  From heav'n he shall send down, and me
         from his reproach defend
      That would devour me: God his truth
         and mercy forth shall send.

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 95  sung acapella From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the Dundee Festival of Psalms 2005 (reproduced with permission) (meter: CM)

 1  O come, let us sing to the Lord:
         come, let us ev'ry one
      A joyful noise make to the Rock
         of our salvation.

   2  Let us before his presence come
         with praise and thankful voice;
      Let us sing psalms to him with grace,
         and make a joyful noise.

   3  For God, a great God, and great King,
         above all gods he is.
   4  Depths of the earth are in his hand,
         the strength of hills is his.

   5  To him the spacious sea belongs,
         for he the same did make;
      The dry land also from his hands
         its form at first did take.

   6  O come, and let us worship him,
         let us bow down withal,
      And on our knees before the Lord
         our Maker let us fall.

Psalm 95 v1-6 (Tune: Gainsborough)

Used with permission of the Northern Presbytery Choir.

1  All people, clap your hands; to God
         with voice of triumph shout:
   2  For dreadful is the Lord most high,
         great King the earth throughout.

     5  God is with shouts gone up, the Lord
         with trumpets sounding high.
   6  Sing praise to God, sing praise, sing praise,
         praise to our King sing ye.

   7  For God is King of all the earth;
         with knowledge praise express.
   8  God rules the nations: God sits on
         his throne of holiness.

   9  The princes of the people are
         assembled willingly;
      Ev'n of the God of Abraham
         they who the people be.

      For why? the shields that do defend
         the earth are only his:
      They to the Lord belong; yea, he
         exalted greatly is.

  14  But I with expectation
         will hope continually;
      And yet with praises more and more
         I will thee magnify.

  15  Thy justice and salvation

      Ev'n all the day; for I thereof

      And hitherto I have declared
         the wonders thou hast wrought.
