Sung from Sing Psalms (2003) Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM)

	4	In anger do not break God’s law;
			consider and be still.
	5	Present a righteous sacrifice,
			and wait upon his will.

	6	“O who can show us any good?”
			I hear so many say.
		O LORD, shine on us with your light;
			show us your face, I pray.

	7	You filled my heart with greater joy
			than others may have found
		As they rejoiced at harvest time,
			when grain and wine abound.

	8	I will lie down and sleep in peace;
			my heart will rest secure,
		For you alone, O gracious LORD,
			will keep me safe and sure.

1 Blessed is the one who turns away
from where the wicked walk,
Who does not stand in sinners’ paths
or sit with those who mock.

2 Instead he finds God’s holy law
his joy and great delight;
He makes the precepts of the LORD
his study day and night.

3 He prospers ever like a tree
that’s planted by a stream,
And in due season yields its fruit;
its leaves are always green.

4 Not so the wicked! They are like
the chaff that’s blown away.
5 They will not stand when judgment comes
or with the righteous stay.

6 It is the LORD who sees and knows
the way the righteous go,
But those who live an evil life
the LORD will overthrow.

Psalm 1b sung a capella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: 88.88.88

1 How blessed the one who does not walk
Where wicked men would guide his feet,
Who does not stand in sinners’ paths
Or sit upon the scorners’ seat.
2 The law of God is his delight,
His meditation day and night.

3 He prospers like a tree, which has
Been planted by a flowing stream,
And in its season yields its fruit;
Its leaves are always fresh and green.
In every act and every word
He knows the blessing of the LORD.

4 Not so the wicked: they are like
The chaff the wind will blow away.
5 They will not in the judgment stand,
Nor sinners with the righteous stay.
6 God knows the way the righteous go;
The wicked’s way he’ll overthrow.

Psalm 1b (Tune: St Petersburg)

(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 2 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

1  Why rage the heathen? and vain things
         why do the people mind?
   2  Kings of the earth do set themselves,
         and princes are combined,

      To plot against the Lord, and his
         Anointed, saying thus,
   3  Let us asunder break their bands,
         and cast their cords from us.

   4  He that in heaven sits shall laugh;
         the Lord shall scorn them all.
   5  Then shall he speak to them in wrath,
         in rage he vex them shall.

   6  Yet, notwithstanding, I have him
         to be my King appointed;
      And over Zion, my holy hill,
         I have him King anointed.

   7  The sure decree I will declare:
         The Lord hath said to me,
      Thou art mine only Son; this day
         I have begotten thee.

   8  Ask of me, and for heritage
         the heathen I'll make thine;
      And, for possession, I to thee
         will give earth's utmost line.

Psalm 2 (Tune: York)

 1  That man hath perfect blessedness,
         who walketh not astray
      In counsel of ungodly men,
         nor stands in sinners' way,

   2  Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:
         But placeth his delight
      Upon God's law, and meditates
         on his law day and night.

   3  He shall be like a tree that grows
         near planted by a river,
      Which in his season yields his fruit,
         and his leaf fadeth never:

   4  And all he doth shall prosper well
         The wicked are not so;
      But like they are unto the chaff,
         which wind drives to and fro.

   5  In judgment therefore shall not stand
         such as ungodly are; 
      Nor in th' assembly of the just
         shall wicked men appear.

   6  For why? the way of godly men
         unto the Lord is known:
      Whereas the way of wicked men
         shall quite be overthrown.

Psalm 1 (Tune: Azmon / Denfield)

Support the psalms - www.patreon.com/join/psalms
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.

from Sing Psalms (2003)

	6	Your righteousness is very great,
			like mountains high and steep;
		Your justice is like ocean depths.
			Both man and beast you keep.

	7	How precious is your steadfast love!
			What confidence it brings!
		Both high and low find shelter in
			the shadow of your wings.

	8	They feast within your house, and drink
			from streams of your delight.
	9	For with you is the source of life;
			in your light we see light.

	10	To those who know you as their God,
			your steadfast love impart;
		Maintain your righteousness to those
			of pure and upright heart.
