Sung acapella from: the scottish psalter of 1650

All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth; His praise forth tell: Come ye before Him and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make.
We are His folk; He doth us feed, and for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise; Within His courts your thanks proclaim;
With grateful hearts your voices raise to bless and magnify His name.

Because the Lord our God is good, His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood and shall from age to age endure

Psalm 100 (Tune: Old 100th) (RPCNA Synod)

I suppose the title should read 'found recordings' huh

Psalm 68 - Ericstane

Psalm 71 - Spiritus Vitae

Who go to sea in ships, and in
great waters trading be,
Within the deep these men God's works
and his great wonders see.

For he commands, and forth in haste
the stormy tempest flies,
Which makes the sea with rolling waves
aloft to swell and rise.

They mount to heav'n, then to the depths
they do go down again;
Their soul doth faint and melt away
with trouble and with pain.

They reel and stagger like one drunk,
at their wit's end they be:
Then they to God in trouble cry,
who them from straits doth free.

The storm is changed into a calm
at his command and will;
So that the waves, which raged before,
now quiet are and still.

Then are they glad, because at rest
and quiet now they be:
So to the haven he them brings,
which they desired to see.

Psalm 107v23-30

1  My heart is fixed, Lord; I will sing,
       and with my glory praise.
 2  Awake up psaltery and harp;
       myself I'll early raise.

 3  I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord;
       'mong nations sing will I:
 4  For above heav'n thy mercy's great,
       thy truth doth reach the sky.

 5  Be thou above the heavens, Lord,
       exalted gloriously;
    Thy glory all the earth above
       be lifted up on high.

 6  That those who thy beloved are
       deliver-ed may be,
    O do thou save with thy right hand,
       and answer give to me.

Psalm 79 sung acapella from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650

9  For thy name's glory help us, Lord,
         who hast our Savior been:
      Deliver us; for thy name's sake,
         O purge away our sin.

  10  Why say the heathen, where's their God?
         let him to them be known;
      When those who shed thy servants' blood
         are in our sight o'erthrown.

  11  O let the pris'ner's sighs ascend
         before thy sight on high;
      Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r
         that are designed to die.

  13  So we thy folk, and pasture-sheep,
         shall give thee thanks always;
      And unto generations all
         we will show forth thy praise.

Psalm 79 (Tune:  Culross)

Psalm 40 sung Acapella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at an Arbroath youth weekend. (Meter: CM) Support the psalms - www.patreon.com/join/psalms

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.

Psalm 40 (Tune: Ballerma)

Extremely Experimental. Recorded it quite a while ago now.

Psalm 62 (Gaelic) - Walsall

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Used with permission of the Northern Presbytery Choir.

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 118 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Sung by Dowanvale Free Church.

24  This is the day God made, in it
       we'll joy triumphantly.
25  Save now, I pray thee, Lord; I pray,
       send now prosperity.

26  Blessed is he in God's great name
       that cometh us to save:
    We, from the house which to the Lord
       pertains, you blessed have.

27  God is the Lord, who unto us
       hath made light to arise:
    Bind ye unto the altar's horns
       with cords the sacrifice.

28  Thou art my God, I'll thee exalt;
       my God, I will thee praise.
29  Give thanks to God, for he is good:
       his mercy lasts always.
