 1  God is our refuge and our strength,
         in straits a present aid;
   2  Therefore, although the earth remove,
         we will not be afraid:
  
    Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
   3     Though waters roaring make,
      And troubled be; yea, though the hills,
         by swelling seas do shake.
  
 4  A river is, whose streams do glad
         the city of our God;
      The holy place, wherein the Lord
         most high hath his abode.
  
 5  God in the midst of her doth dwell;
         nothing shall her remove:
      The Lord to her an helper will,
         and that right early, prove.

Sing Psalms (2003). Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland.

(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)

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.

Glasgow C - Psalm 22:21, St David

Psalm 143 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 30th Glasgow Recital 2001 by a Free Church of Scotland Choir, used with permission. Meter: 66.66D

6  Lo, I do stretch my hands
       To thee, my help alone;
    For thou well understands
       All my complaint and moan:
    My thirsting soul desires,
       And longeth after thee,
    As thirsty ground requires
       With rain refreshed to be.

 7  Lord, let my pray'r prevail,
       To answer it make speed;
    For, lo, my sp'rit doth fail:
       Hide not thy face in need;
    Lest I be like to those
       That do in darkness sit,
    Or him that downward goes
       Into the dreadful pit.

 8  Because I trust in thee,
       O Lord, cause me to hear
    Thy loving-kindness free,
       When morning doth appear:
    Cause me to know the way
       Wherein my path should be;
    For why, my soul on high
       I do lift up to thee.

Psalm 143 (Tune: Hawarden)

13  Thy kingdom hath none end at all,
        It doth through ages all remain.
 14  The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
        The cast-down raiseth up again.

 15  The eyes of all things, Lord, attend,
        And on thee wait that here do live,
     And thou, in season due, dost send
        Sufficient food them to relieve.

 16  Yea, thou thine hand dost open wide,
        And ev'ry thing dost satisfy
     That lives, and doth on earth abide,
        Of thy great liberality.

 17  The Lord is just in his ways all,
        And holy in his works each one.
 18  He's near to all that on him call,
        Who call in truth on him alone.

Psalm 145 v13-18 (Tune: Herongate)

Psalm 72 v 17-19 - Stornoway

Psalm 23 (Scottish Psalter) to Loch Broom (as commonly sung)

Psalm 23 - Loch Broom [1650 SP] (C.M)

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.

Psalm 27 (Tune: Jackson)
