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.

Psalm 1 a (Tune: Creator)

	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.”

Psalm 1b sung a capella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: 88.88.88

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.

Psalm 4 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) 

1  Give ear unto me when I call,
         God of my righteousness:
      Have mercy, hear my pray'r; thou hast
         enlarged me in distress.
     
6  O who will show us any good?
         is that which many say:
      But of thy countenance the light,
         Lord, lift on us alway.
   
7  Upon my heart, bestowed by thee,
         more gladness I have found
      Than they, ev'n then, when corn and wine
         did most with them abound.
   
8  I will both lay me down in peace,
         and quiet sleep will take;
      Because thou only me to dwell
         in safety, Lord, dost make.

“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.

PSALM 61 Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). (Meter: C.M.)

O God, conduct me to the rock
that’s higher far than I.
3 For you’re my refuge from the foe,
my tower of strength on high.

4 O let me dwell within your tent,
for ever there to live!
O for the shelter of your wings,
the refuge which they give!

5 For you have heard my vows, O God,
and you have given me
The heritage of those who fear
your name continually.

Psalm 6 sung acapella from Sing Psalms, 2003. Sung at the 23rd Free Church of Scotland Glasgow Psalmody Recital, 1994

1 LORD, in your wrath rebuke me not;
In anger do not chasten me.
2 Have mercy, LORD, for I am faint;
LORD, heal me in my agony.

3 My soul with anguish is distressed.
O LORD, how long will you delay?
4 Turn to me, LORD, and free my soul;
In steadfast love save me, I pray.

5 No one in death remembers you;
Who from the grave can give you praise?
6 My groaning weakens me; at night
My bed is drenched with tears always.

9 The LORD has heard my prayer for help;
The LORD has listened to my plea.
10 My enemies, disgraced and shamed,
Will turn back from me suddenly.

Psalm 2 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

1  Why rage the heathen? and vain things
         why do the people mind?
   2  Kings of the earth do set themselves,
         and princes are combined,

      To plot against the Lord, and his
         Anointed, saying thus,
   3  Let us asunder break their bands,
         and cast their cords from us.

   4  He that in heaven sits shall laugh;
         the Lord shall scorn them all.
   5  Then shall he speak to them in wrath,
         in rage he vex them shall.

   6  Yet, notwithstanding, I have him
         to be my King appointed;
      And over Zion, my holy hill,
         I have him King anointed.

   7  The sure decree I will declare:
         The Lord hath said to me,
      Thou art mine only Son; this day
         I have begotten thee.

   8  Ask of me, and for heritage
         the heathen I'll make thine;
      And, for possession, I to thee
         will give earth's utmost line.

Psalm 2 (Tune: York)

 1  That man hath perfect blessedness,
         who walketh not astray
      In counsel of ungodly men,
         nor stands in sinners' way,

   2  Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:
         But placeth his delight
      Upon God's law, and meditates
         on his law day and night.

   3  He shall be like a tree that grows
         near planted by a river,
      Which in his season yields his fruit,
         and his leaf fadeth never:

   4  And all he doth shall prosper well
         The wicked are not so;
      But like they are unto the chaff,
         which wind drives to and fro.

   5  In judgment therefore shall not stand
         such as ungodly are; 
      Nor in th' assembly of the just
         shall wicked men appear.

   6  For why? the way of godly men
         unto the Lord is known:
      Whereas the way of wicked men
         shall quite be overthrown.

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.

33 Teach me to follow your decrees;
Then I will keep them to the end.
34 Give insight, and I’ll keep your law,
With all my heart to it attend.

35 Lead me in your commandments’ path,
For there, O LORD, delight I find.
36 Incline my heart towards your laws;
From selfish gain preserve my mind.

37 O turn my eyes from worthless things;
Give life according to your word.
38 To me, your servant, keep your pledge,
So that you may be feared, O LORD.

39 Remove from me the shame I dread;
Your laws excel in uprightness.
40 O how I long for your decrees!
Preserve me in your righteousness

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.

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.
