PSALM 110		(Meter: S.M.)
		
	3	When you display your power,
			your people flock to you;
		At dawn, arrayed in holiness,
			your youth will come like dew.

	4	Unchangeably the LORD
			with solemn purpose swore:
		“Just like Melchizedek you are
			a priest for evermore.”

	5	The Lord’s at your right hand;
			there he will ever stay.
		He on his day of wrath will crush
			the kings who bar his way.

	6	The nations he will judge;
			the dead in heaps will lie.
		The mighty of the earth he’ll crush—
			all who his rule defy.

Psalm 110 (Tune: Selma)

Psalm 103 (Tune: The Homes of Donegal)

Performed in Heaven is a compact disc of metrical psalms recorded at the Psalmody Recitals, held each winter since 1971 (except 1977) at St Vincent Street Free Church in Glasgow, where sizeable congregations gathered from a variety of churches and denominations. The psalms on the compact disc are all sung by the entire congregation and, as such, reflect the unaffectedness of congregational praise. The recordings are an authentic reflection of the type of singing that has been heard in the Reformed churches of Scotland since the Reformation. In order to produce this unique compilation of congregational psalm-singing, it was necessary to re-master recordings made with the technology of an earlier era. Thus, the recordings themselves span a period of twenty-five years, with the majority being from the seventies or eighties.

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.

Psalm 29 (Tune: St Denio)

Ps 35 v 1-8 Evan

Ps 117 New Lydia (R)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. 
Sung by Free Church of Scotland Choir in Glasgow 1996 (recording reproduced with permission)

1  O sing a new song to the Lord,
         for wonders he hath done:
      His right hand and his holy arm
         him victory hath won.

   2  The Lord God his salvation
          hath caused to be known;
      His justice in the heathen's sight
          he openly hath shown.

   3  He mindful of his grace and truth
         to Isr'el's house hath been;
      And the salvation of our God
         all ends of th' earth have seen.

   4  Let all the earth unto the Lord
         send forth a joyful noise;
      Lift up your voice aloud to him,
         sing praises, and rejoice.

Psalm 45 v 13-17 - Gairloch
