Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) Sung by the RPCI Northern Presbytery Choir. (Meter: CM)

 1  The Lord doth reign, and clothed is he
         with majesty most bright;
      His works do show him clothed to be,
         and girt about with might.

      The world is also stablishèd,
         that it cannot depart.
   2  Thy throne is fixed of old, and thou
         from everlasting art.

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

   4  But yet the Lord, that is on high,
         is more of might by far
      Than noise of many waters is,
         or great sea-billows are.

   5  Thy testimonies ev'ry one
         in faithfulness excel;
      And holiness for ever, Lord,
         thine house becometh well.

Psalm 93 (Tune: Pembroke)

Psalm 16v8-11 (Sing Psalms version) to the tune Golden Hill. Sung at the Free Church Youth Conference, March 2023

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.

How long must I be sad each day    
in deep perplexity?   
How long will my opponent stand    
in triumph over me?   

3 O LORD my God, consider me    
and give me your reply.   
Light up my eyes or I will sleep    
the sleep of those who die.   

4 Then would my enemy declare,    
“At last I’ve laid him low!”   
And so my foes would sing for joy    
to see my overthrow.   

5 But still I trust your constant love;    
you save and set me free.  
6 With joy I will extol the LORD    
who has been good to me.

Psalm 13 (Tune - St Kilda)

أروع من قرأ سورة النجم - القارئ محمود خليل الحصري

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.


Ps 144 v 9-15 West Burn

13 Such pity as a father hath
unto his children dear;
Like pity shews the Lord to such
as worship him in fear.

14 For he remembers we are dust,
and he our frame well knows.
15 Frail man, his days are like the grass,
as flow’r in field he grows:

16 For over it the wind doth pass,
and it away is gone;
And of the place where once it was
it shall no more be known.

17 But unto them that do him fear
God’s mercy never ends;
And to their children’s children still
his righteousness extends:

18 To such as keep his covenant,
and mindful are alway
Of his most just commandements,
that they may them obey.

Psalm 21 v 1-6 - Torwood
