 My soul, wait thou with patience
upon thy God alone;
On him dependeth all my hope
and expectation.

6 He only my salvation is,
and my strong rock is he;
He only is my sure defense:
I shall not moved be.

  7  In God my glory placed is,
         and my salvation sure;
      In God the rock is of my strength,
         my refuge most secure.

  8  Ye people, place your confidence
         in him continually;
      Before him pour ye out your heart:
         God is our refuge high.

Psalm 62 v5-8 (Tune: Howard)

Psalm 51 6-13 (1650) St Kilda

Psalm 40 on a reggae tune as you can hear it on our second CD that you can order via psalmprojectafrica@hotmail.com

Psalm 40

This tune is being used during church services of Baptist churches in Eastern Congo on the moment when the pastor walks forward to start preaching. The pastor slowly walks through the congregation while the believers sing this tune. They use other words, but we think that our picks from psalm 119 are very fitting as well.

Psalm 119

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.


Ps 43 Martyrs

Ps 23 Wiltshire

The Psalm Project Africa tries to find traditional African rhythms and tunes for psalms from the Bible, so that psalms can be easily and enjoyably sung in African churches. More info and cd's through psalmprojectafrica@hotmail.com

PSALM 34 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

1  Lord, from the depths to thee I cried.
 2     My voice, Lord, do thou hear:
    Unto my supplication's voice
       give an attentive ear.

 3  Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,
       should'st mark iniquity?
 4  But yet with thee forgiveness is,
       that feared thou mayest be.

 5  I wait for God, my soul doth wait,
       my hope is in his word.
 6  More than they that for morning watch,
       my soul waits for the Lord;

    I say, more than they that do watch
       the morning light to see.
 7  Let Israel hope in the Lord,
       for with him mercies be;

    And plenteous redemption
       is ever found with him.
 8  And from all his iniquities
       he Isr'el shall redeem.

Psalm 130 (Tune: Martyrs)

Psalm 45 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)
1     My heart inditing is
         good matter in a song:
      I speak the things that I have made,
         which to the King belong:
        
   2     Thou'rt fairest of all men;
         grace in thy lips doth flow:
      And therefore blessings evermore
         on thee doth God bestow.

   3     Thy sword gird on thy thigh,
         thou that art most of might:
      Appear in dreadful majesty,
         and in thy glory bright.

   4     For meekness, truth, and right,
         ride prosp'rously in state;
      And thy right hand shall teach to thee
         things terrible and great.

   5     Thy shafts shall pierce their hearts
         that foes are to the King;
      Whereby into subjection
         the people thou shalt bring.

Psalm 45 (Tune: Golden Hill)

Psalm 85 (reproduced with permission) Copyright: Sing Psalms 2003 (Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Recorded at St Peters Free Church Service in Dundee, 2018 Meter: (87.87D)

4 God our Saviour, now restore us;
from us turn away your rage.
5 Will your anger burn against us?
Will it last from age to age?
6 Will you not again revive us,
that we may rejoice in you?
7 Show us, LORD, your covenant mercy;
your salvation grant anew.

8 I will hear what God the LORD says:
to his saints he offers peace;
But his people must not wander
and return to foolishness.
9 Surely for all those who fear him
his salvation is at hand,
So that once again his glory
may be seen within our land.

10 Love and truth have met together;
righteousness and peace embrace.
11 Righteousness looks down from heaven;
from the earth springs faithfulness.
12 What is good the LORD will give us,
and our land its fruit will bear.
13 Righteousness will go before him
and his royal way prepare.

Psalm 23 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded at Dowanvale free church.

1 The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
2 He makes me down to lie
In pastures green: he leadeth me
the quiet waters by
.
3 My soul he doth restore again;
and me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
ev'n for his own name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill:
For thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

5 My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

6 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me:
And in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be.

8 Hear my pray’r, LORD God Almighty,
and receive the plea I make.
Listen to me, God of Jacob;
hear me for your mercy’s sake.
9 Look upon our shield and bring
favour to your chosen king.

10 One day in your courts is better
than a thousand days elsewhere.
Let me stay in my God’s temple—
let me be a doorman there—
Rather than find happiness
in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the LORD gives grace and honour;
God will be a shield and sun.
He will not withhold his blessing
from the just and blameless one.
12 LORD Almighty, great and true,
blessed the one who trusts in you.

Psalm 95  sung acapella From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the Dundee Festival of Psalms 2005 (reproduced with permission) (meter: CM)

 1  O come, let us sing to the Lord:
         come, let us ev'ry one
      A joyful noise make to the Rock
         of our salvation.

   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.

   3  For God, a great God, and great King,
         above all gods he is.
   4  Depths of the earth are in his hand,
         the strength of hills is his.

   5  To him the spacious sea belongs,
         for he the same did make;
      The dry land also from his hands
         its form at first did take.

   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.

Psalm 130 Sung acapella from Sing Psalms (2003) copyright Free Church of Scotland. Meter: CM

1 LORD, from the depths I call to you;
2 Lord, hear me from on high
And give attention to my voice
when I for mercy cry.

3 LORD, in your presence who can stand,
if you our sins record?
4 But yet forgiveness is with you,
that we may fear you, LORD.

5 I wait—my soul waits—for the LORD;
my hope is in his word.
6 More than the watchman waits for dawn
my soul waits for the Lord.

7 O Isr’el, put your hope in God,
for mercy is with him
8 And full redemption. From their sins
his people he’ll redeem.

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.

Psalm 19 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

8  The statutes of the Lord are right,
         and do rejoice the heart:
      The Lord's command is pure, and doth
         light to the eyes impart.

   9  Unspotted is the fear of God,
         and doth endure for ever:
      The judgments of the Lord are true
         and righteous altogether.

  10  They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
         to be desired are:
      Than honey, honey from the comb
         that droppeth, sweeter far.

  11  Moreover, they thy servant warn
         how he his life should frame:
      A great reward provided is
         for them that keep the same.

Psalm 19 v8-11 (Tune: St Andrew)
