Psalm 32 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650.  used with permission. Meter: CM

1 O blessed is the man to whom
is freely pardoned
All the transgression he hath done,
whose sin is covered.

2 Blessèd is the man to whom the Lord
imputeth not his sin,
And in whose sp'rit there is no guile,
nor fraud is found therein.

5 I thereupon have unto thee
my sin acknowledged,
And likewise mine iniquity
I have not covered:

I will confess unto the Lord
my trespasses, said I;
And of my sin thou freely didst
forgive th' iniquity.

Psalm 32 v1,2,5 (Tune: Salzburg)

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

11  O children, hither do ye come,
         and unto me give ear;
      I shall you teach to understand
         how ye the Lord should fear.

  12  What man is he that life desires,
         to see good would live long?
  13  Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,
         and from ill words thy tongue.

  14  Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,
         pursue it earnestly.
  15  God's eyes are on the just; his ears
         are open to their cry.

  16  The face of God is set against
         those that do wickedly,
      That he may quite out from the earth
         cut off their memory.

  17  The righteous cry unto the Lord,
         he unto them gives ear;
      And they out of their troubles all
         by him delivered are.

  18  The Lord is ever nigh to them
         that be of broken sp'rit;
      To them he safety doth afford
         that are in heart contrite.

Psalm 34 v11-18 (Tune: St Ethelreda)

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)

1  O blessed is the man to whom
         is freely pardoned
      All the transgression he hath done,
         whose sin is covered.

   2  Blessèd is the man to whom the Lord
         imputeth not his sin,
      And in whose sp'rit there is no guile,
         nor fraud is found therein.

   3  When as I did refrain my speech,
         and silent was my tongue,
      My bones then waxed old, because
         I roared all day long.

   4  For upon me both day and night
         thine hand did heavy lie,
      So that my moisture turned is
         in summer's drought thereby. 

   5  I thereupon have unto thee
         my sin acknowledged,
      And likewise mine iniquity
         I have not covered: 

      I will confess unto the Lord
         my trespasses, said I;
      And of my sin thou freely didst
         forgive th' iniquity.

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 95 v1-6 (Tune: Gainsborough)

1  Now Israel may say, and that truly,
    If that the Lord had not our cause maintained;
 2  If that the Lord had not our right sustained,
    When cruel men against us furiously
    Rose up in wrath, to make of us their prey;


 3  Then certainly they had devoured us all,
    And swallowed quick, for ought that we could deem;
    Such was their rage, as we might well esteem.
 4  And as fierce floods before them all things drown,
    So had they brought our soul to death quite down.


 5  The raging streams, with their proud swelling waves,
    Had then our soul o'erwhelmèd in the deep.
 6  But blessed be God, who doth us safely keep,
    And hath not giv'n us for a living prey
    Unto their teeth, and bloody cruelty.


 7  Ev'n as a bird out of the fowler's snare
    Escapes away, so is our soul set free:
    Broke are their nets, and thus escapèd we.
 8  Therefore our help is in the Lord's great name,
    Who heav'n and earth by his great pow'r did frame.

Psalm 124 (Tune: Old 124th)

Used with permission of the Northern Presbytery Choir.

1  All people, clap your hands; to God
         with voice of triumph shout:
   2  For dreadful is the Lord most high,
         great King the earth throughout.

     5  God is with shouts gone up, the Lord
         with trumpets sounding high.
   6  Sing praise to God, sing praise, sing praise,
         praise to our King sing ye.

   7  For God is King of all the earth;
         with knowledge praise express.
   8  God rules the nations: God sits on
         his throne of holiness.

   9  The princes of the people are
         assembled willingly;
      Ev'n of the God of Abraham
         they who the people be.

      For why? the shields that do defend
         the earth are only his:
      They to the Lord belong; yea, he
         exalted greatly is.

Psalm 42 sung a capella from the scottish psalter of 1650. Meter: (CM). Recording used with permission of the RP Northern Presbytery Choir.

1  Like as the hart for water-brooks
         in thirst doth pant and bray;
      So pants my longing soul, O God,
         that come to thee I may.

   2  My soul for God, the living God,
         doth thirst: when shall I near
      Unto thy countenance approach,
         and in God's sight appear?

   3  My tears have unto me been meat,
         both in the night and day,
      While unto me continually,
         Where is thy God? they say.

   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.
