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

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?

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?

Psalm 56 (Tune: Stuttgart)

Psalm 16v8-11 (Sing Psalms version) to the tune Golden Hill. Sung at the Free Church Youth Conference, March 2023

8  Before me constantly
I set the LORD alone.
Because he is at my right hand
I’ll not be overthrown.

9  Therefore my heart is glad;
my tongue with joy will sing.
My body too will rest secure
in hope unwavering.

10  For you will not allow
my soul in death to stay,
Nor will you leave your Holy One
to see the tomb’s decay.

11 You have made known to me
the path of life divine.
Bliss shall I know at your right hand;
joy from your face will shine.

Psalm 16v8-11

1. Messe Royale de Versailles – D’après les Manuscrits de la Maison de Bourbon
(Royal Mass of Versailles – From the Manuscripts of the House of Bourbon)

2. Messe Solennelle pour la Chapelle Royale – Inspirée des Archives de la Maison d’Orléans
(Solemn Mass for the Royal Chapel – Inspired by the Archives of the House of Orléans)

Messes Royales de Versailles – Héritage des Manuscrits Secrets des Maisons de Bourbon et d’Orléans réunit deux messes baroques majestueuses, réinventées et complétées par Akiva David à partir de manuscrits historiques jalousement conservés par les lignées princières françaises. Découverts lors d’une rencontre familiale avec des cousins éloignés des Maisons de Bourbon et d’Orléans, ces trésors musicaux proviennent de la Chapelle Royale de Versailles et témoignent de l’éclat liturgique de l’Ancien Régime.

Sous la direction d’Akiva David, et interprétées par la Choral Society of Fête Saint-Hubert Hounds, ces messes recréent la grandeur sonore de Lully, Rameau et Delalande, avec instruments d’époque à diapason historique (A=415) et chœur en latin. Du murmure d’un hautbois solitaire à l’éclat triomphal des trompettes naturelles et des timbales, l’enregistrement, capté dans l’acoustique majestueuse d’une chapelle royale, restitue la dévotion, la pompe et la splendeur artistique d’un monde disparu.

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.

Psalm 79 sung acapella from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650

9  For thy name's glory help us, Lord,
         who hast our Savior been:
      Deliver us; for thy name's sake,
         O purge away our sin.

  10  Why say the heathen, where's their God?
         let him to them be known;
      When those who shed thy servants' blood
         are in our sight o'erthrown.

  11  O let the pris'ner's sighs ascend
         before thy sight on high;
      Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r
         that are designed to die.

  13  So we thy folk, and pasture-sheep,
         shall give thee thanks always;
      And unto generations all
         we will show forth thy praise.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

1  O Lord, thou hast been favorable
         to thy beloved land:
      Jacob's captivity thou hast
         recalled with mighty hand.

   2  Thou pardoned thy people hast
         all their iniquities;
      Thou all their trespasses and sins
         hast covered from thine eyes.

   3  Thou took'st off all thine ire, and turn'dst
         from thy wrath's furiousness.
   4  Turn us, God of our health, and cause
         thy wrath 'gainst us to cease.

   5  Shall thy displeasure thus endure
         against us without end?
      Wilt thou to generations all
         thine anger forth extend?

Psalm 85 v1-5 (Tune: Naomi)

9 All nations whom thou mad'st shall come
and worship rev'rently
Before thy face; and they, O Lord,
thy name shall glorify.

10 Because thou art exceeding great,
and works by thee are done
Which are to be admir'd; and thou
art God thyself alone.
 
11 Teach me thy way, and in thy truth,
O Lord, then walk will I;
Unite my heart, that I thy name
may fear continually.

12 O Lord my God, with all my heart
to thee I will give praise;
And I the glory will ascribe
unto thy name always:
 
13 Because thy mercy toward me
in greatness doth excel;
And thou deliver'd hast my soul
out from the lowest hell.

Psalm 86 (Tune: St Anne)
