6  That in thee may thy people joy,
         wilt thou not us revive?
   7  Show us thy mercy, Lord, to us
         do thy salvation give.

   8  I'll hear what God the Lord will speak:
         to his folk he'll speak peace,
      And to his saints; but let them not
         return to foolishness.

   9  To them that fear him surely near
        is his salvation;
      That glory in our land may have
         her habitation.

  10  Truth met with mercy, righteousness
         and peace kissed mutually:
  11  Truth springs from earth, and righteousness
         looks down from heaven high.

  12  Yea, what is good the Lord shall give;
         our land shall yield increase:
  13  Justice, to set us in his steps,
         shall go before his face.

3	Know that the LORD is God;
			he made us as his own.
		We are the sheep for whom he cares—
			his people, his alone.

	4	Enter his gates with praise,
			his courts with thankfulness.
		Your praises gladly sing to him;
			his name for ever bless.

	5	For God the LORD is good;
			his love is ever sure.
		His constant truth and faithfulness
			through every age endure.

Psalm 32 v 7-11 - Ardross

from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650

14  But I with expectation
         will hope continually;
      And yet with praises more and more
         I will thee magnify.

  15  Thy justice and salvation
         my mouth abroad shall show,
      Ev'n all the day; for I thereof
         the numbers do not know.

  16  And I will constantly go on
         in strength of God the Lord;
      And thine own righteousness, ev'n thine
         alone, I will record.

  17  For even from my youth, O God,
         by thee I have been taught;
      And hitherto I have declared
         the wonders thou hast wrought.

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM)

  3  His work most honourable is,
       most glorious and pure,
    And his untainted righteousness
       for ever doth endure.

 4  His works most wonderful he hath
       made to be thought upon:
    The Lord is gracious, and he is
       full of compassion.

Psalm 111 (Tune: St Stephen aka Abridge)

Sung by Greenville Presbyterian Church (Free Church Continuing)

 2  Because of all his mighty acts,
         with praise him magnify:
      O praise him, as he doth excel
         in glorious majesty.

   3  Praise him with trumpet's sound; his praise
         with psaltery advance:
   4  With timbrel, harp, stringed instruments,
         and organs, in the dance.

   5  Praise him on cymbals loud; him praise
         on cymbals sounding high.
   6  Let each thing breathing praise the Lord.
         Praise to the Lord give ye.

Psalm 150 (Tune: St Botolph)

Psalm 22 v1-6 Tune - Bangor

Ps 50 v 1-6 Golden Hill

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. 
Sung by Free Church of Scotland Choir in Glasgow 1996 (recording reproduced with permission)

1  O sing a new song to the Lord,
         for wonders he hath done:
      His right hand and his holy arm
         him victory hath won.

   2  The Lord God his salvation
          hath caused to be known;
      His justice in the heathen's sight
          he openly hath shown.

   3  He mindful of his grace and truth
         to Isr'el's house hath been;
      And the salvation of our God
         all ends of th' earth have seen.

   4  Let all the earth unto the Lord
         send forth a joyful noise;
      Lift up your voice aloud to him,
         sing praises, and rejoice.

Psalm 98 (Tune: Westminster)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. 
Sung by Free Church of Scotland Choir  (recording reproduced with permission)

 23  Nevertheless continually,
         O Lord, I am with thee:
      Thou dost me hold by my right hand,
         and still upholdest me.

  24  Thou, with thy counsel, while I live,
         wilt me conduct and guide;
      And to thy glory afterward
         receive me to abide.

  25  Whom have I in the heavens high
         but thee, O Lord, alone?
      And in the earth whom I desire
         besides thee there is none.

  26  My flesh and heart doth faint and fail,
         but God doth fail me never:
      For of my heart God is the strength
         and portion for ever.

  27  For, lo, they that are far from thee
         for ever perish shall;
      Them that a whoring from thee go
         thou hast destroyed all.

  28  But surely it is good for me
         that I draw near to God:
      In God I trust, that all thy works
         I may declare abroad.

Psalm 73 v23-28 (Tune: Wiltshire)

Psalm 33 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at a Free Church Glasgow Psalmody Recital, used with permission. Meter: CM

12  That nation blessèd is, whose God
         Jehovah is, and those
      A blessèd people are, whom for
         his heritage he chose.

  13  The Lord from heav'n sees and beholds
         all sons of men full well:
  14  He views all from his dwelling-place
         that in the earth do dwell.

18  Behold on those that do him fear
         the Lord doth set his eye;
      Ev'n those who on his mercy do
         with confidence rely.

  19  From death to free their soul, in dearth
         life unto them to yield.
  20  Our soul doth wait upon the Lord;
         he is our help and shield.

  21  Since in his holy name we trust,
         our heart shall joyful be.
  22  Lord, let thy mercy be on us,
         as we do hope in thee.
