Psalm 128 sung a capella from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

1  Blessed is each one that fears the Lord,
       and walketh in his ways;
 2  For of thy labour thou shalt eat,
       and happy be always.

 3  Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine
       by thy house' sides be found:
    Thy children like to olive-plants
        about thy table round.

 4  Behold, the man that fears the Lord,
       thus bless-ed shall he be.
 5  The Lord shall out of Zion give
       his blessing unto thee:

    Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold
       whilst thou on earth dost dwell.
 6  Thou shalt thy children's children see,
       and peace on Israel.

Psalm 128 (Tune: Gabriel)

Performed in Heaven is a compact disc of metrical psalms recorded at the Psalmody Recitals, held each winter since 1971 (except 1977) at St Vincent Street Free Church in Glasgow, where sizeable congregations gathered from a variety of churches and denominations. The psalms on the compact disc are all sung by the entire congregation and, as such, reflect the unaffectedness of congregational praise. The recordings are an authentic reflection of the type of singing that has been heard in the Reformed churches of Scotland since the Reformation. In order to produce this unique compilation of congregational psalm-singing, it was necessary to re-master recordings made with the technology of an earlier era. Thus, the recordings themselves span a period of twenty-five years, with the majority being from the seventies or eighties.

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee

2  Let Isr'el in his Maker joy,
         and to him praises sing:
      Let all that Zion's children are
         be joyful in their King.

   3  O let them unto his great name
         give praises in the dance;
      Let them with timbrel and with harp
         in songs his praise advance.

   4  For God doth pleasure take in those
         that his own people be;
      And he with his salvation
         the meek will beautify.

Psalm 149 (Tune: New Lydia)

Psalm 100, Old 100th - Chris & Alison's Wedding

Sung from Sing Psalms (2003) Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM) 

1 God is our refuge and our strength,
our ever-present aid;
2 And therefore, though the earth gives way,
we will not be afraid.

Though mountains fall into the sea,
3 though waters foam and roar,
We will not fear, though mountains quake
as waves engulf the shore.

4 A river flows, whose streams delight
the city of our God—
The holy place, in which the LORD
Most High has his abode.

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.

Psalm 46 v1-6 (Tune: Stroudwater)

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)
