 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 116 sung acapella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland) Recorded at Dowanvale free Church September 2014. Meter: 10.10.10.10

5	The LORD our God is kind and full of grace;
		Both righteous and compassionate is he.
	6	The LORD protects all those of childlike faith;
		When I was in great need, he rescued me.

	7	Rest, O my soul; God has been good to you—
	8	For you, O LORD, have saved my soul from death,
		My feet from stumbling and my eyes from tears,
	9	That I may live for you while I have breath.

	10	I trusted in the LORD, and then I spoke;
		I said in anguish: “I am sorely tried”.
	11	And in the very depths of my dismay,
		“All men are liars—every one!” I cried.

	12	How can I thank the LORD for all he’s done?
	13	With gratitude salvation’s cup I’ll raise;
	14	I’ll call upon his name, and will fulfil
		My vows to him before his people’s face.

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 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 16 sung a capella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland).  Meter: SM

8	Before me constantly
			I set the LORD alone.
		Because he is at my right hand
			I’ll not be overthrown.

	9	Therefore my heart is glad;
			my tongue with joy will sing.
		My body too will rest secure
			in hope unwavering.

	10	For you will not allow
			my soul in death to stay,
		Nor will you leave your Holy One
			to see the tomb’s decay.

	11	You have made known to me
			the path of life divine.
		Bliss shall I know at your right hand;
			joy from your face will shine.

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 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
2 Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.

3 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make:
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.

4 O enter then his gates with praise,
Approach with joy his courts unto:
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

5 For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

Text: Psalm 100 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. Recorded at Psalms For All Seasons, free church of scotland psalm sing.

Psalm 100 (Tune: Old 100th | Acapella)

1  Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd! like a flock
         thou that dost Joseph guide;
      Shine forth, O thou that dost between
         the cherubims abide.

   2  In Ephraim's, and Benjamin's
         and in Manasseh's sight,
      O come for our salvation;
         stir up thy strength and might.

   3  Turn us again, O Lord our God,
         and upon us vouchsafe
      To make thy countenance to shine,
         and so we shall be safe.

   4  O Lord of hosts, almighty God,
         how long shall kindled be
      Thy wrath against the prayer made
         by thine own folk to thee? 

   7  Turn us again, O God of hosts,
         and upon us vouchsafe
      To make thy countenance to shine,
         and so we shall be safe.

Psalm 80 v1-7 (Tune: Evan)

5  His testimony and his law
         in Isr'el he did place,
      And charged our fathers it to show
         to their succeeding race;

   6  That so the race which was to come
         might well them learn and know;
      And sons unborn, who should arise,
         might to their sons them show:

   7  That they might set their hope in God,
         and suffer not to fall
      His mighty works out of their mind,
         but keep his precepts all:

   8  And might not, like their fathers, be
         a stiff rebellious race;
      A race not right in heart; with God
         whose sp'rit not steadfast was.
