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)

Psalm 45 v 13-17 - Gairloch

1  All people that on earth do dwell,
       Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
 2  Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
       Come ye before him and rejoice.

 3  Know that the Lord is God indeed;
       Without our aid he did us make:
    We are his flock, he doth us feed,
       And for his sheep he doth us take.

 4  O enter then his gates with praise,
       Approach with joy his courts unto:
    Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
       For it is seemly so to do.

 5  For why? the Lord our God is good,
       His mercy is for ever sure;
    His truth at all times firmly stood,
       And shall from age to age endure.

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 1b (Tune: St Petersburg)

Sung acapella from: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Recorded @ Dowanvale Free Church. (Long meter)

You are my Saviour and my God;
All day I hope in you alone.
6 Remember, LORD, your love and grace
Which from past ages you have shown.

7 Do not recall my sins of youth
Or my rebellious, evil ways;
Remember me in your great love,
For you, O LORD, are good always.

8 Because the LORD is just and good,
He shows his paths to all who stray.
9 He guides the meek in what is right
And teaches them his holy way.

10 To those who keep his covenant laws
He shows his love consistently.
11 For your name’s sake, O LORD my God,
Forgive my great iniquity.

Psalm 25 v5-11 (Tune: Finnart)

Psalm 60 (CM) from the Scottish Psalter of 1650.

 1  O Lord, thou hast rejected us,
         and scattered us abroad;
      Thou justly hast displeasèd been;
         return to us, O God.

   2  The earth to tremble thou hast made;
         therein didst breaches make:
      Do thou thereof the breaches heal,
         because the land doth shake.

   3  Unto thy people thou hard things
         hast showed, and on them sent;
      And thou hast caused us to drink
         wine of astonishment.

   4  And yet a banner thou hast giv'n
         to them who thee do fear;
      That it by them, because of truth,
         displayèd may appear.

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.

Text  from 'Archbishop Parker's Psalter'. 
Tune: '3rd Mode Melody'  by Thomas Tallis  [CM.D]

3. Let us they say: break down their ray,
of all their bonds and cords:
We will renounce: that they pronounce,
their loores as stately lordes.

4. But God of might: in heauen so bright,
Shall laugh them all to scorne:
The Lord on hie: shall them defie,
they shall be once forlorne.

9. With iron rod: as mighty God,
all rebels shalt thou bruse:
And breake them all: in pieces small,
as sherdes the potters vase.

10. Be wise therfore: ye kinges the more,
Receyue ye wisdomes lore:
Ye iudges strong: of right and wrong,
aduise you now before.

11. The Lorde in feare: your seruice beare,
with dread to him reioyce:
Let rages be: resist not ye,
him serue with ioyfull voyce.

12. The sonne kisse ye: lest wroth he be,
lose not the way of rest:
For when his ire: is set on fire,
who trust in hym be blest

1  I to the hills will lift mine eyes,
       from whence doth come mine aid.
 2  My safety cometh from the Lord,
       who heav'n and earth hath made.

 3  Thy foot he'll not let slide, nor will
       he slumber that thee keeps.
 4  Behold, he that keeps Israel,
       he slumbers not, nor sleeps.

 5  The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade
       on thy right hand doth stay:
 6  The moon by night thee shall not smite,
       nor yet the sun by day.

 7  The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall
       preserve thee from all ill.
 8  Henceforth thy going out and in
       God keep for ever will.
