5 God is within his holy place;
the city will not yield,
For God will come at break of day
to be her help and shield.

6 The nations are in disarray;
the kingdoms disappear.
God speaks, and at his mighty voice
the whole earth melts with fear.

10 Be still, and know that I am God,
on earth exalted high;
And all the nations of the world
my name will glorify.

11 The LORD Almighty is with us
to strengthen and sustain;
For Jacob’s God our strong defence
and fortress will remain.

Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). 

1 O my God, show mercy to me;
men would take my life away.
Hostile forces press upon me;
they pursue me all the day.
2 Slanderers are close behind me;
they pursue me all day long.
In their arrogance they hound me;
they are numerous and strong.
3 When I am afraid, I’ll trust you.
4 I will praise your faithful word;
I will trust and not be fearful.
What can man do to me, Lord?
5 All day long they plot to harm me,
twisting everything I say.
6 They conspire, they lurk, they trail me,
keen to take my life away.
7 Let them not escape your anger;
bring the nations down, O Lord.
8 In your book write my entreaties;
in your scroll my tears record.
9 When I call on you to help me,
then my foes will turn aside;
This is how I will be certain
that my God is on my side.
10 In the LORD, whose word I honour,
in my God—I praise his word—
11 I will trust and not be fearful.
What can man do to me, Lord?
12 I have taken vows before you;
to my God I will be true.
Sacrifices of thanksgiving
I will gladly give to you.
13 For you kept my feet from stumbling,
and from death you set me free,
So that I may walk before you
and the light of life may see.

0 But you, O LORD, be merciful to me
And raise me up their malice to repay.
11 I know that you are pleased with me, O LORD;
For over me my foe does not hold sway.

12 In my integrity you hold me fast;
Before you I will constantly remain.
13 O praise the LORD, the God of Israel,
For ever and for evermore! Amen.

(Meter: 87.87)

3 O God, may the peoples praise you;
may all peoples sing your praise.
4 For you judge the nations justly,
ruling over every race.

May they sing with joy and gladness;
may they all rejoice as one.
5 O God, may the peoples praise you
as they all unite in song.

6 Then the land will yield its harvest;
God will pour his gifts abroad.
7 God, our God, will surely bless us;
all the earth will fear our God.

Psalm 67  (Tune: Sussex)

Psalm 39 Copyright: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Sung acapella at 28rd Glasgow Recital 1999 (Meter: CMD)

1 I said, “Now let me watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin.
I’ll put a muzzle on my mouth while I’m with wicked men.”
2 When I was silent and kept still and firmly held my peace,
Not speaking even what was good, this made my pain increase.

3 Because of this my heart grew hot; the fire burned strong indeed
The more I mused upon it all. Then I began to plead:
4 “LORD, show me that my life will end— how many days I’ll see—
And cause me, LORD, to understand how brief my life will be.

5 “O LORD, how short you make my days before I sink in death.
My years are nothing in your sight; man’s life is but a breath.
6 “Like shadows people go about; they bustle to and fro.
They heap up wealth, but do not know to whom their wealth will go.

Psalm 39 v1-6 (Tune: Kinlochewe)

I have a few of these hiding away on my laptop. 

Headphones are highly recommended. It's hard to follow the individual parts in mono I find.

Psalm 34 (Sing Psalms)  - Resignation

(reproduced with permission) Copyright: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland)

( L.M.)
1 All nations, clap your hands and shout!
Let joyful cries to God ring out!
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High,
Great King who rules the earth throughout!

3 He has subdued beneath our feet
The nations who had been our foes.
4 In blessing Jacob, whom he loved,
A heritage for us he chose.

5 God has gone up with shouts of joy,
The LORD amid the trumpets’ sound.
6 Sing praise, sing praise to God Most High;
To God our King let praise abound.

7 For God is King of all the earth;
Sing psalms of praise to him alone.
8 God rules the nations from on high;
He sits upon his holy throne.

9 The leaders of the nations come
To yield themselves to Abr’ham’s God.
To him belong the shields of earth;
Exalted greatly is the LORD!

Psalm 47 (Tune: Warrington)

PSALM 49 sung a capella from Sing Psalms, 2003(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). (Meter: 87.87D)

12 Man despite his wealth is mortal;
like the beasts, he fades away.
13 Thus the self-assured will perish,
though renowned for what they say.
14 Death will feed upon their bodies;
just like sheep they meet their fate.
In the grave their forms will perish,
far from where they lived in state.

But the upright ones will rule them,
once the morning light has shone.
15 From the grave God will redeem me;
he will take me for his own.
16 Do not quake before a rich man,
though his fortune grows immense,
And his outward state increases—
17 for he will take nothing hence.


He will soon descend with nothing
of the splendour he possessed,
18 Though in life he prospered greatly
and they told him he was blessed.
19 He will go to join his fathers—
never see the light of day.
20 Those with wealth and no discernment
are like beasts that pass away.

1 O God, you are my God alone;
I seek your face with eagerness.
My soul and body thirst for you
In this dry, weary wilderness.

2 I’ve seen you in your holy place;
Your power and glory held my gaze.
3 Far better is your love than life,
And so my lips will sing your praise.

4 I’ll bless you, Lord, throughout my life
And raise my hands to you in prayer.
5 My joyful lips will sing your praise;
My soul is fed with richest fare.

6 Upon my bed I lie awake
And in my thoughts remember you;
I meditate throughout the night
And keep your constant love in view.

7 Because you are my help alone,
In shadow of your wings I’ll sing.
8 You hold me up with your right hand;
To you, O God, my soul will cling

PSALM 57 from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland)
Singing by Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland. (Meter: SM)

1 Have mercy on me, Lord;
to you my soul holds fast.
Your cov’ring wings will shelter me
until the danger’s past.

2 I cry to God Most High,
to God who answers me,
For he fulfils his purposes
for me most perfectly.

3 He sends his help from heaven
and saves me from above,
Rebuking those who seek my life;
God sends his truth and love.

4 I live with savage beasts,
I dwell with lions strong—
With men who speak with piercing words;
a sharp sword is their tongue.

5 Above the highest heavens,
O God, exalted be!
And over all the earth below
display your majesty.

Psalm 57 v1-5 (Tune: Dennis)
