PSALM 107 sung acapella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland) Recorded at Glasgow Reformed Presbyterian Church.

10 Some sat in darkness and in gloom,
in chains of iron held;
11 They scorned the ways of God Most High,
against his words rebelled
.
12 And so he made them labour hard
in bitterness and shame.
They stumbled, and they could not rise;
to help them no one came.

13 Then to the LORD they cried for help;
he saved them from their doom.
14 He broke away their cruel chains
and brought them out of gloom.

15 So let them thank him for his love,
the deeds which he achieves—
16 Because he breaks down gates of bronze
and iron bars he cleaves.

1     Lord, bless and pity us,
         shine on us with thy face:
   2  That th' earth thy way, and nations all
         may know thy saving grace.

   3     Let people praise thee, Lord;
         let people all thee praise.
   4  O let the nations be glad,
         in songs their voices raise:

         Thou'lt justly people judge,
         on earth rule nations all.
   5  Let people praise thee, Lord; let them
         praise thee, both great and small.

   6     The earth her fruit shall yield,
         our God shall blessing send.
   7  God shall us bless; men shall him fear
         unto earth's utmost end.

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?

  10  'Tis as a sword within my bones,
         when my foes me upbraid;
      Ev'n when by them, Where is thy God?
         'tis daily to me said.

  11  O why art thou cast down, my soul?
         why, thus with grief oppresed,
      Art thou disquieted in me?
         in God still hope and rest:

      For yet I know I shall him praise,
         who graciously to me
      The health is of my countenance,
         yea, mine own God is he.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (recording reproduced with permission)Recorded at Inverness Festival of Psalms 2000

1 I joyed when to the house of God,
Go up, they said to me.
2 Jerusalem, within thy gates
our feet shall standing be.

3 Jerus'lem, as a city, is
compactly built together:
4 Unto that place the tribes go up,
the tribes of God go thither:

To Isr'el's testimony, there
to God's name thanks to pay.
5 For thrones of judgment, ev'n the thrones
of David's house, there stay.

6 Pray that Jerusalem may have
peace and felicity:
Let them that love thee and thy peace
have still prosperity.

Psalm 122 (Tune: St Paul)

PSALM 34  From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

7  The angel of the Lord encamps,
         and round encompasseth
      All those about that do him fear,
         and them delivereth.

   8  O taste and see that God is good:
         who trusts in him is blessed.
   9  Fear God his saints: none that him fear
         shall be with want oppressed.

  10  The lions young may hungry be,
         and they may lack their food:
      But they that truly seek the Lord
         shall not lack any good.

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

Psalm 133 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

1  Behold, how good a thing it is,
       and how becoming well,
    Together such as brethren are
       in unity to dwell!

 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.

Psalm 43 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

3  O send thy light forth and thy truth;
         let them be guides to me,
      And bring me to thine holy hill,
         ev'n where thy dwellings be.

   4  Then will I to God's altar go,
         to God my chiefest joy:
      Yea, God, my God, thy name to praise
         my harp I will employ.

 5  Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
         what should discourage thee?
      And why with vexing thoughts art thou
         disquieted in me?

      Still trust in God; for him to praise
         good cause I yet shall have:
      He of my count'nance is the health,
         my God that doth me save.

20  Unto thy cov'nant have respect;
         for earth's dark places be
      Full of the habitations
         of horrid cruelty.

  21  O let not those that be oppressed
         return again with shame:
      Let those that poor and needy are
         give praise unto thy name.

  22  Do thou, O God, arise and plead
         the cause that is thine own:
      Remember how thou art reproached
         still by the foolish one.

  23  Do not forget the voice of those
         that are thine enemies:
      Of those the tumult ever grows
         that do against thee rise.

Psalm 74 (Tune: Morven)

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) (Meter: CM)

1  Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked
         in mine integrity:
      I trusted also in the Lord;
         slide therefore shall not I.

   2  Examine me, and do me prove;
         try heart and reins, O God:
   3  For thy love is before mine eyes,
         thy truth's paths I have trod

   4  With persons vain I have not sat,
         nor with dissemblers gone:
   5  Th' assembly of ill men I hate;
         to sit with such I shun.

   6  Mine hands in innocence, O Lord,
         I'll wash and purify;
      So to thine holy altar go,
         and compass it will I:

   7  That I, with voice of thanksgiving,
         may publish and declare,
      And tell of all thy mighty works,
         that great and wondrous are.

Psalm 98 (Tune: Desert / Lyngham)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

1  After thy loving-kindness, Lord,
         have mercy upon me:
      For thy compassions great, blot out
         all mine iniquity.

   2  Me cleanse from sin, and thoroughly wash
         from mine iniquity:
   3  For my transgressions I confess;
         my sin I ever see.

   4  'Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinned,
         in thy sight done this ill;
      That when thou speak'st thou may'st be just,
         and clear in judging still.

   5  Behold, I in iniquity
         was formed the womb within;
      My mother also me conceived
         in guiltiness and sin.

   6  Behold, thou in the inward parts
         with truth delighted art;
      And wisdom thou shalt make me know
         within the hidden part.

   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.

	4	One thing I’ll plead before the LORD,
			and this I’ll seek always:
		That I may come within God’s house
			and dwell there all my days—

		That on the beauty of the LORD
			I constantly may gaze,
		And in his house may seek to know
			direction in his ways.

	5	For in his dwelling he will keep
			me safe in troubled days;
		Within his tent he’ll shelter me,
			and on a rock me raise.

	6	My head will then be lifted high
			above my enemies;
		And in his tent I’ll sacrifice
			with shouts of joy and praise.

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.

But the upright ones will rule them, once the morning light has shone.
15 From the grave God will redeem me; he will take me for his own.
16 Do not quake before a rich man, though his fortune grows immense,
And his outward state increases— 17 for he will take nothing hence.

He will soon descend with nothing of the splendour he possessed,
18 Though in life he prospered greatly and they told him he was blessed.
19 He will go to join his fathers— never see the light of day.
20 Those with wealth and no discernment are like beasts that pass away.
