Psalm 110 - Martyrdom

From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Sung by members of St Columba's Free Church, Edinburgh.

15  Dear in God's sight is his saints' death.
16     Thy servant, Lord, am I;
    Thy servant sure, thine handmaid's son:
       my bands thou didst untie.

17  Thank off'rings I to thee will give,
       and on God's name will call.
18  I'll pay my vows now to the Lord
       before his people all;

19  Within the courts of God's own house,
       within the midst of thee,
    O city of Jerusalem.
       Praise to the Lord give ye.

Psalm 116 v15-19  (Tune: St Andrew)

 1     Lord, haste me to deliver;
         with speed, Lord, succor me.
   2  Let them that for my soul do seek
         shamed and confounded be:

         Turned back be they, and shamed,
         that in my hurt delight.
   3  Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
         their shaming to requite.

   4     In thee let all be glad,
         and joy that seek for thee:
      Let them who thy salvation love
         say still, God praisèd be.

   5     I poor and needy am;
         come, Lord, and make no stay:
      My help thou and deliv'rer art;
         O Lord, make no delay.

Psalm 70  (Tune: Garelochside)

1 The world and all in it are God’s,
all peoples of the earth,
2 For it was founded by the LORD
upon the seas beneath.
3 Who may ascend the hill of God,
or in his temple stand?
4 The one who shuns false gods and lies,
who’s pure in heart and hand.
5 He will find favour from the LORD,
and from his Saviour grace.
6 Thus are they blessed, O Jacob’s God,
who truly seek your face.
7 You ancient gates, lift up your heads;
you doors, be opened wide—
So may the King of glory come
for ever to abide.
8 But who is this exalted King?
What glorious King is he?
It is the LORD of strength and might,
the LORD of victory.
9 You ancient gates, lift up your heads;
you doors, be opened wide—
So may the King of glory come
for ever to abide.
10 But who is this exalted King?
Who can this sovereign be?
The LORD Almighty, he is King
of glory, none but he.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

1  Be merciful to me, O God;
         thy mercy unto me
      Do thou extend; because my soul
         doth put her trust in thee:

      Yea, in the shadow of thy wings
         my refuge I will place,
      Until these sad calamities
         do wholly overpass.

   2  My cry I will cause to ascend
         unto the Lord most high;
      To God, who doth all things for me
         perform most perfectly.

   3  From heav'n he shall send down, and me
         from his reproach defend
      That would devour me: God his truth
         and mercy forth shall send.

Psalm 57 v1-3 (Tune: Torwood)

Psalm 95 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)Recorded @ Arbroath Youth Weekend 

2  Let us before his presence come
         with praise and thankful voice;
      Let us sing psalms to him with grace,
         and make a joyful noise.

    6  O come, and let us worship him,
         let us bow down withal,
      And on our knees before the Lord
         our Maker let us fall.

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.

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 115 sung acapella from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. Used with permission of the Northern Presbytery Choir. (Meter: CM)

12  The Lord of us hath mindful been,
       and he will bless us still:
    He will the house of Isr'el bless,
       bless Aaron's house he will.

13  Both small and great, that fear the Lord,
       he will them surely bless.
14  The Lord will you, you and your seed,
       aye more and more increase.

15  O bless-ed are ye of the Lord,
       who made the earth and heav'n.
16  The heav'n, ev'n heav'ns, are God's, but he
       earth to men's sons hath giv'n.

17  The dead, nor who to silence go,
       God's praise do not record.
18  But henceforth we for ever will
       bless God. Praise ye the Lord.
