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 25 v8-13 (Tune: Diademata)

Psalm 42 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at 'Arbroath' youth weekend.

5  O why art thou cast down, my soul?
         why in me so dismayed?
      Trust God, for I shall praise him yet,
         his count'nance is mine aid.

      7  At the noise of thy water-spouts
         deep unto deep doth call;
      Thy breaking waves pass over me,
         yea, and thy billows all.

   8  His loving-kindness yet the Lord
         command will in the day,
      is song's with me by night; to God,
         by whom I live, I'll pray:

   9  And I will say to God my rock,
         Why me forgett'st thou so?
      Why, for my foes' oppression,
         thus mourning do I go?

  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.

"The very cords of death they did completely me surround.
The terrors of the grave took hold, I grief and trouble found.
...
My eyes from tears you freed, my feet from stumbling you did free.
I'll walk before the LORD as long as I alive will be."

2  Me cleanse from sin, and thoroughly wash
         from mine iniquity:
   3  For my transgressions I confess;
         my sin I ever see.
  
   7  Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,
         I shall be cleansed so;
      Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall
         be whiter than the snow.

   8  Of gladness and of joyfulness
         make me to hear the voice;
      That so these very bones which thou
         hast broken may rejoice.

   9  All mine iniquities blot out,
         thy face hide from my sin.
  10  Create a clean heart, Lord, renew
         a right sp'rit me within.

Psalm 119 Part Gimel (Part 17)from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland)Sung acapella at Inverness Festival of Psalms 2003. Meter: LM

129 Your statutes, LORD, are wonderful,
So I obey them from my heart.
130 Your words, as they unfold, give light,
And truth to simple minds impart.

131 With open mouth I pant and yearn
To know the laws that you proclaim.
132 Show me the mercy you extend
To those who love and praise your name.

133 Direct my footsteps in your word;
Let sin not hold me in its sway.
134 From man’s oppression set me free
That your commands I may obey.

135 Upon your servant shine your face;
Teach me the statutes you have made.
136 My eyes shed streams of bitter tears
Because your law is not obeyed.

The world is founded firm and sure—
removed it cannot be.
2 Your throne is strong, and you are God
from all eternity.

3 The seas, O LORD, have lifted up,
they lifted up their voice;
The seas have lifted up their waves
and made a mighty noise.

4 The LORD, enthroned on high, is strong;
more powerful is he
Than thunder of the ocean’s waves
or breakers of the sea.

5 Your royal statutes, LORD, stand firm;
unchanging is your word.
And holiness adorns your house
for endless days, O LORD.

1 You mighty ones, give to the LORD as his right,
Ascribe to the LORD God both glory and might.
2 To the LORD’s name due glory and honour accord;
In beauty of holiness worship the LORD.

3 The LORD’s voice is over the waters abroad,
And thunder proceeds from the glorious God.
Above all the waters God’s thunder is heard;
4 A powèrful voice is the voice of the LORD.

The voice of the LORD is majestic and loud;
5 By the voice of the LORD the great cedars are bowed.
Yes, even the cedars of Lebanon tall,
The LORD breaks in pieces and shatters them all.

10 The LORD over floods sits as monarch alone;
The LORD sits for ever as King on his throne.
11 The LORD makes the strength of his people increase;
The LORD gives his people the blessing of peace.

7 The LORD for ever reigns on high;
his throne for judgment stands.
8 He’ll judge the world in righteousness,
with justice rule the lands.

9 The LORD will be a hiding place
for those who are oppressed,
And he will be a strong defence
for those who are distressed.

10 All those who know your name, O LORD,
in you their trust will place,
For you do not abandon those
who seek your gracious face.

Among the nations of the world

Recorded @ Airdrie RPC during morning worship

1   		LISTEN to my words, O LORD,
    and my sighs before you lay.
2	Hear my cry, my king, my God;
    help me, for to you I pray.
 
2   	3	With the morning light, O LORD,
    you will hear my voice, my plea.
In the morning I will pray,
    and I'll wait expectantly.
 
3   	4	Truly you are not a God
    who in evil takes delight.
Evil will not dwell with you,
5	    nor the proud stand in your sight.
 
4   		You hate all who evil do.
6	    You will liars all destroy;
for the LORD abhors all who
    bloodshed and deceit employ;
 
mf     	5   	7	But in your abundant grace,
    to your house I will draw near;
looking to your holy place,
    there I'll worship in your fear.
 
m     	6   	8	Since, O LORD, my enemies
    for my soul do lie in wait,
lead me in your righteousness;
    make your way before me straight.
 
7   	9	On their words you can't rely;
    in their heart destruction's found.
Like an open grave's their throat;
    with deceit their words abound.
 
p     	8   	10	Hold them guilty, O my God;
    them for all their sins expel.
In their own schemes let them fall,
    for against you they rebel.
 
mf     	9   	11	Those who refuge take in you,
    let them ever shout for joy.
Shelter those who thus are glad.
    Those who love your name rejoice;
 
10   	12	And a blessing rich, O LORD,
    on the righteous man you'll pour.
With your favour, as a shield,
    you'll surround him evermore.

7  Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
         ye doors that last for aye,
      Be lifted up, that so the King
         of glory enter may.

   8  But who of glory is the King?
         The mighty Lord is this;
      Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might
         and strong in battle is.

   9  Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,

      Be lifted up, that so the King

  10  But who is he that is the King

mf	4	Advancing still from strength to strength,
		they go where other pilgrims trod,
		till each to Zion comes at length
		and stands before the face of God.
mp		Lord God of hosts, my pleading hear;
		O Jacob’s God, to me give ear.

	5	Look thou, O God, upon our Shield;
		the face of thine Anointed see;
m		One day within thy courts will yield

		I’d rather stand near my God’s house
		than dwell in tents of wickedness.

mf	6	For God the Lord is shield and sun;

		No good will he withhold from one
		who does uprightly walk and live.
		O Lord of hosts, how blest is he

 2  Like precious ointment on the head,
       that down the beard did flow,
    Ev'n Aaron's beard, and to the skirts,*
       did of his garments go.

 3  As Hermon's dew, the dew that doth
       on Zion' hills descend:
    For there the blessing God commands,
       life that shall never end.

 14  Thy saints take pleasure in her stones,

1 Praise God, my soul! With all my heart
Let me exalt his holy name.
2 Forget not all his benefits;
His praise, my soul, in song proclaim.
3 The LORD forgives you all your sins,
And heals your sickness and distress;
4 Your life he rescues from the grave,
And crowns you in his tenderness.

5 He satisfies your deep desires
From his unending stores of good,
So that, just like the eagle’s strength,
Your youthful vigour is renewed.
6 The LORD is known for righteous acts
And justice to downtrodden ones.
7 To Moses he made known his ways,
His mighty deeds to Israel’s sons.

8 The LORD is merciful and kind,
To anger slow, and full of grace.
9 He will not constantly reprove,
Or in his anger hide his face.
10 He does not punish our misdeeds,
Or give our sins their just reward.
11 How great his love—as high as heaven—
Towards all those who fear the LORD!
