10 All those who know your name, O LORD,
in you their trust will place,
For you do not abandon those
who seek your gracious face.

in Zion on his throne;
Among the nations of the world
proclaim what he has done.

PSALM 110		(Meter: S.M.)
		
	3	When you display your power,
			your people flock to you;
		At dawn, arrayed in holiness,
			your youth will come like dew.

	4	Unchangeably the LORD
			with solemn purpose swore:
		“Just like Melchizedek you are
			a priest for evermore.”

	5	The Lord’s at your right hand;
			there he will ever stay.
		He on his day of wrath will crush
			the kings who bar his way.

	6	The nations he will judge;
			the dead in heaps will lie.
		The mighty of the earth he’ll crush—
			all who his rule defy.

	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.

Sung acapella from: the scottish psalter of 1650

All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth; His praise forth tell: Come ye before Him and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make.
We are His folk; He doth us feed, and for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise; Within His courts your thanks proclaim;
With grateful hearts your voices raise to bless and magnify His name.

Because the Lord our God is good, His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood and shall from age to age endure

Text: Psalm 8 from 'Psalms for Singing – A 21st Century Edition (2004)'
Produced by the Reformed Presbyterian church of Ireland.

3	When I look up unto the heav’ns,
		which your own fingers made,
		unto the moon and to the stars,
		which you in order laid,

	4	O, what is man, that you should him
		in kind remembrance bear?
		Or what the son of man, indeed,
		that you for him should care?

	5	For you a little lower than
		the angels have him made,
		a crown of glory and renown
		have placed upon his head.

	6	You made him lord of your hands’ works,
		put all beneath his feet:
		the animals within the field,
		the cattle and the sheep,

	7	Birds of the air, fish of the sea,
		all through the seas that swim.
		How excellent in all the earth,
		LORD, our Lord, is your name.

Psalm 8 (Tune: Perfect Way)

Who go to sea in ships, and in
great waters trading be,
Within the deep these men God's works
and his great wonders see.

For he commands, and forth in haste
the stormy tempest flies,
Which makes the sea with rolling waves
aloft to swell and rise.

They mount to heav'n, then to the depths
they do go down again;
Their soul doth faint and melt away
with trouble and with pain.

They reel and stagger like one drunk,
at their wit's end they be:
Then they to God in trouble cry,
who them from straits doth free.

The storm is changed into a calm
at his command and will;
So that the waves, which raged before,
now quiet are and still.

Then are they glad, because at rest
and quiet now they be:
So to the haven he them brings,
which they desired to see.

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

1  My heart is fixed, Lord; I will sing,
       and with my glory praise.
 2  Awake up psaltery and harp;
       myself I'll early raise.

 3  I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord;
       'mong nations sing will I:
 4  For above heav'n thy mercy's great,
       thy truth doth reach the sky.

 5  Be thou above the heavens, Lord,
       exalted gloriously;
    Thy glory all the earth above
       be lifted up on high.

 6  That those who thy beloved are
       deliver-ed may be,
    O do thou save with thy right hand,
       and answer give to me.

2  Me cleanse from sin, and thoroughly wash
         from mine iniquity:
   3  For my transgressions I confess;
         my sin I ever see.
  
   7  Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,
         I shall be cleansed so;
      Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall
         be whiter than the snow.

   8  Of gladness and of joyfulness
         make me to hear the voice;
      That so these very bones which thou
         hast broken may rejoice.

   9  All mine iniquities blot out,

1  I waited for the Lord my God,
         and patiently did bear;
      At length to me he did incline
         my voice and cry to hear.

   2  He took me from a fearful pit,
         and from the miry clay,
      And on a rock he set my feet,
         establishing my way.

   3  He put a new song in my mouth,
         our God to magnify:
      Many shall see it, and shall fear,
         and on the Lord rely.

   4  O blessed is the man whose trust
         upon the Lord relies;
      Respecting not the proud, nor such
         as turn aside to lies.

Psalm 40 (Tune: Ballerma)

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.

  19  The troubles that afflict the just
         in number many be;
      But yet at length out of them all
         the Lord doth set him free.

May for the people hill and mountain
Bring forth the peace they seek,
And justice, gushing like a fountain,
Restore the faint and meek.
May he defend the poor and needy,
May he their children save,
And crush oppressors, proud and greedy,
Who for their downfall crave.

May he, the royal son, be reigning
With judgments true and sure,
To all Thy people right ordaining
And justice to Thy poor.

May he, so high above the nations,
Live while the sun endures,
He, who throughout all generations
Our joy and peace ensures;
And may he be like rain that drenches
The meadows parched and pale,
Like showers whose abundance quenches
The thirst of hill and vale.

7  O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
         when I do cry to thee;
      Upon me also mercy have,
         and do thou answer me.

   8  When thou didst say, seek ye my face,
         then unto thee reply
      Thus did my heart, above all things
         thy face, Lord, seek will I.

   9  Far from me hide not thou thy face;
         put not away from thee
      Thy servant in thy wrath: thou hast
         an helper been to me.

         the Lord will me up take.

1  In thee, O Lord, I put my trust,

      According to thy righteousness
         do thou deliver me.

   2  Bow down thine ear to me, with speed
         send me deliverance:
      To save me, my strong rock be thou,
         and my house of defense.

   3  Because thou art my rock, and thee
         I for my fortress take;
      Therefore do thou me lead and guide,
         ev'n for thine own name's sake.

   4  And since thou art my strength, therefore
         pull me out of the net,
      Which they in subtlety for me
         so privily have set.

   5  Into thine hands I do commit

1 O sing a new song to the Lord,

2 The Lord God his salvation

His justice in the heathen’s sight
he openly hath shown.

3 He mindful of his grace and truth
to Isr’el’s house hath been;
And the salvation of our God
all ends of th’ earth have seen.

4 Let all the earth unto the Lord
send forth a joyful noise;
Lift up your voice aloud to him,
sing praises, and rejoice.

Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). ( 8 7.8 7 D)

1 Praise the LORD, my soul, O praise him!
LORD my God, you are so great!
2 Wrapped in light as with a garment,
clothed in majesty and state.
Like a tent he spreads the heavens,
3 and above the waters there
Sets the framework of his dwelling,
making it an upper layer.

He makes clouds of heav’n his chariot;
on the wings of wind he rides.
4 He makes flames of fire his servants;
winds obey what he decides.
5 He set earth on its foundations,
so that it should never move;
6 Then the deep submerged the mountains
till the waters stood above.

7 But when you rebuked the waters,
at your thunder they took flight;
8 They receded to the valleys,
flowing down the mountains’ height
To the place that you appointed.
9 You set bounds to their domain,
So that never will the waters
overwhelm the land again.
