	PSALM 42		L.M.

	1	As pants the deer for flowing streams,
		So longs my soul, O God, for you.
	2	I thirst for God, the living God;
		When can I meet with God anew?

	4	As I pour out my soul in grief,
		These things I do remember still:
		How with the multitude I went
		Up to God’s house on Zion hill.

		In their procession I would lead
		As we approached with cheerful song
		And shouts of joy and thankfulness,
		Rejoicing with the festive throng.

	5	Why are you downcast, O my soul?
		Why are you so disturbed in me?
		Trust God, for I will praise him yet;
		My Saviour and my God is he.

Psalm 42  (Tune: Finnart)

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

8  The Lord our God is merciful,
        and he is gracious,
     Long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
        in mercy plenteous.

  9  He will not chide continually,
        nor keep his anger still.
 10  With us he dealt not as we sinned,
        nor did requite our ill.

 12  As far as east is distant from
        the west, so far hath he
     From us removed, in his love,
        all our iniquity.

 13  Such pity as a father hath
        unto his children dear;
     Like pity shews the Lord to such
        as worship him in fear.

 1  God's mercies I will ever sing;
         and with my mouth I shall
      Thy faithfulness make to be known
         to generations all.

   2  For mercy shall be built, said I,
         for ever to endure;
      Thy faithfulness, ev'n in the heav'ns,
         thou wilt establish sure.

   3  I with my chosen One have made
         a cov'nant graciously;
      And to my servant, whom I loved,
         to David sworn have I;

   4  That I thy seed establish shall
         for ever to remain,
      And will to generations all
         thy throne build and maintain.

   5  The praises of thy wonders, Lord,
         the heavens shall express;
      And in the congregation
         of saints thy faithfulness.

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.

from Sing Psalms (2003) PSALM 95		(Meter: 11.11.11.11)

	1	O come, let us joyfully sing to the LORD;
		To the Rock of salvation let us raise our voice.
	2	Let us come before him expressing our thanks;
		Let us with loud singing praise him and rejoice.

	3	The LORD is the great God, King over all gods.
	4	The earth’s deepest places he holds in his hand;
		The heights of the mountains belong to the LORD.
	5	The oceans are his, and he formed the dry land.

	6	Come, let us bow humbly and worship the LORD;
		Let us kneel before him, our Maker, in prayer.
	7	For we are his people and he is our God;
		He shepherds and feeds us in his loving care.

		Today if you hear and attend to his voice,
	8	Don’t harden your hearts as you did on the way;
		In Meribah’s desert you quarrelled with me,
		You tested my patience at Massah that day.

	1	If God the LORD had not been on our side—
	2	Let Isr’el say—had not the LORD been near
	3	When foes attacked us, filling us with fear,
		And when their wrath against us reached its height,
		Alive we had been swallowed in their spite.

	4	We would have been enveloped by the flood;
		Over our heads the torrent would have gone;
	5	The waters would have carried us along.
	6	But praise the LORD, for he has set us free
		And has not left us to their cruelty.

	7	We have escaped—just as a captured bird 
		Out of the fowler’s net has been set free;
		The snare is cut, we are at liberty.
	8	Our help is in the name of God the LORD
		Who made the earth and heavens by his word.

1 Why do the heathen nations rage?
Why do the peoples plot in vain?
2 Earth’s kings combine in enmity;
Her rulers join against God’s reign.

They take their stand against the LORD
And challenge his anointed one:
3 “Let us break off their chains from us;
With their restraints let us be done.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
The Lord on high derides them all.
5 Then he rebukes them in his wrath;
His rage and terror on them fall.

6 The LORD has made it known to them:
“My chosen king I have installed
On Zion, my own holy hill.
He is the one whom I have called.”

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.

3 O God, may the peoples praise you;
may all peoples sing your praise.

May they sing with joy and gladness;

“All peoples, bowing down before Thee,
Sing praises to Thy glorious Name;
To Thee, O God, they all pay homage,
With hymns of joy declare Thy fame.”
O come and see with reverent wonder
The awesome deeds which God has done,
His mighty works among the nations,
The victories His hand has won.
His strength to Israel revealing,
He turned the sea to arid land,
And they on foot passed through the river;
The waters heeded His command.
We sang His praise, in Him rejoicing
Who by His might rules without end;
His eyes keep watch on every nation.
Let rebels not His power withstand.

Sung by Michael Owens - For many years he has been pursuing various methods of singing the Psalms, including the through-composed Psalm 119 and Canticles Divine series with Frederick Steinruck. His first passions have always been God and family, with music and pianos a distant second. His work on the Genevan Psalter began in 2003, when a friend gave him a copy of the Cantus Christi.

1 Blessed are they that undefil'd,
and straight are in the way;
Who in the Lord's most holy law
do walk, and do not stray.

2 Blessed are they who to observe
his statutes are inclin'd;
And who do seek the living God
with their whole heart and mind.
 
3 Such in his ways do walk, and they
do no iniquity.
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep
thy precepts carefully.

5 O that thy statutes to observe
thou would'st my ways direct!
6 Then shall I not be sham'd, when I
thy precepts all respect.

3 LORD, in your presence who can stand,
if you our sins record?
4 But yet forgiveness is with you,

5 I wait—my soul waits—for the LORD;
my hope is in his word.
6 More than the watchman waits for dawn

7 O Isr’el, put your hope in God,
for mercy is with him
8 And full redemption. From their sins
his people he’ll redeem.

1  O Lord, thou hast me searched and known.
 2      Thou know'st my sitting down,
    And rising up; yea, all my thoughts
       afar to thee are known.

  4  For in my tongue, before I speak,
       not any word can be,
    But altogether, lo, O Lord,
       it is well known to thee.

 7  From thy Sp'rit whither shall I go?
       or from thy presence fly?
 8  Ascend I heav'n, lo, thou art there;
       there, if in hell I lie.

 9  Take I the morning wings, and dwell
       in utmost parts of sea;
10  Ev'n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead,
       thy right hand hold shall me.

1 LORD, you have searched my life and know my heart;
You search me and you know me through and through.
2 You know me when I sit and when I rise,
And from afar my thoughts are known to you.

3 You see my going out and lying down,
And you have perfect knowledge of my ways.
4 Before I speak a word, you know it, LORD,
For nothing can be hidden from your gaze.


5 Behind, before, you hem me in, O LORD,
And you have laid on me your mighty hand.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
Too high to grasp, too great to understand.

7 Where from your Spirit can I go and hide?
And from your presence, LORD, where can I fly?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
And in the lowest depths, if there I lie.

9 If I take flight upon the wings of dawn
And if I settle far beyond the sea,
10 There also you will guide me with your hand
And still your right hand will keep hold of me.

11 If I should say, “The dark will cover me
And light around me be as dark as night,”
12 Yet even darkness is not dark to you—
The night is as the day, the darkness light.

With all my heart to it attend.

For there, O LORD, delight I find.
36 Incline my heart towards your laws;
From selfish gain preserve my mind.

Give life according to your word.
38 To me, your servant, keep your pledge,
So that you may be feared, O LORD.

Your laws excel in uprightness.

PSALM 107 sung acapella from Sing Psalms, 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: CM

33 He changed the streams to wilderness,
fresh springs to desert bare,
34 And fruitful land to barren waste,
for sins of dwellers there.
35 He changed parched ground to flowing streams;
the hungry there he led
36 To found a city safe and strong,
which they inhabited.

37 They reaped a fruitful harvest from
the vineyard and the field.
38 He blessed and made them multiply;
their herds maintained their yield.
39 They faced decline, their fortunes fell,
they suffered great distress.
40 Brought low by him who scorns the proud,
they roamed the wilderness.

41 But he did not abandon them;
he brought the needy folk
From their affliction, and increased
their fam’lies like a flock.
42 The upright see this and are glad;
the wicked hold their peace.
43 Let all the wise take note and learn
the LORD’s love does not cease.

Psalm 107 v33-43 (Tune: Rachel)

I’ll praise you, LORD, with all my heart;
Before the gods I’ll sing your praise.
2 I’ll bow towards your holy place
And bless your holy name always.

I’ll praise you for your faithfulness
And for your cov’nant love, O LORD,
For over all things you have raised
Your holy name and faithful word.

3 The very day I called to you,
You gave an answer to my plea.
You made me bold within myself;
With new resolve you strengthened me.

Although I walk a troubled path,
Your tender care preserves my life.
You raise your hand against my foes;
Your right hand saves me from their strife.

8 The LORD will certainly fulfil
For me the purpose he commands.
Your love endures for ever, LORD;
Preserve the works of your own hands.

 3  And gathered them out of the lands,
       from north, south, east, and west.
 4  They strayed in desert's pathless way,

 5  For thirst and hunger in them faints
 6     their soul. When straits them press,
    They cry unto the Lord, and he
       them frees from their distress.

 7  Them also in a way to walk
       that right is he did guide,
    That they might to a city go,
       wherein they might abide.

 8  O that men to the Lord would give

1 You mighty ones, give to the LORD as his right,
Ascribe to the LORD God both glory and might.
2 To the LORD’s name due glory and honour accord;
In beauty of holiness worship the LORD.

3 The LORD’s voice is over the waters abroad,
And thunder proceeds from the glorious God.
Above all the waters God’s thunder is heard;
4 A powèrful voice is the voice of the LORD.

The voice of the LORD is majestic and loud;
5 By the voice of the LORD the great cedars are bowed.
Yes, even the cedars of Lebanon tall,
The LORD breaks in pieces and shatters them all.

6 Like the leap of a calf he shakes Lebanon’s rocks,
And Sirion skips like a startled wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD causes lightning to flash;
8 The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness crash.

The LORD makes the desert of Kadesh to shake;
9 The LORD causes oaks of the forest to quake.
The trees of the forest he strips of their leaves,
And he in his temple great glory receives.

10 The LORD over floods sits as monarch alone;
The LORD sits for ever as King on his throne.
11 The LORD makes the strength of his people increase;
The LORD gives his people the blessing of peace.
