1  My heart not haughty is, O Lord,
       mine eyes not lofty be;
    Nor do I deal in matters great,
       or things too high for me.

 2  I surely have myself behaved
       with quiet sp'rit and mild,
    As child of mother weaned: my soul
       is like a weanèd child.

 3  Upon the Lord let all the hope
       of Israel rely,
    Ev'n from the time that present is
       unto eternity.

Psalm 131 (Tune: Humility)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Used with permission of the Northern Presbytery Choir of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland.

5  Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav'ns;
       thy truth doth reach the clouds:
 6  Thy justice is like mountains great;
       thy judgments deep as floods:

    Lord, thou preservest man and beast. 
 7      How precious is thy grace!
    Therefore in shadow of thy wings
       men's sons their trust shall place.

 8  They with the fatness of thy house
       shall be well satisfied;
    From rivers of thy pleasures thou
       wilt drink to them provide.

 9  Because of life the fountain pure
       remains alone with thee;
    And in that purest light of thine
       we clearly light shall see.

10  Thy loving-kindness unto them
       continue that thee know;
    And still on men upright in heart
       thy righteousness bestow.

Psalm 36 (Tune: Elijah)

Psalm 89 v 1-6 (Argyle)

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.

Psalm 32 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at Inverness Festival of Psalms (2000), 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.

   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 32 v1-5 (Tune: Wigtown)

3	Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O LORD,
    should'st mark iniquity?
  		4	But yet with thee forgiveness is,
    that feared thou mayest be.

	5	I wait for God, my soul doth wait,
    my hope is in his word.
6	More than they that for morning watch,
    my soul waits for the Lord;
 
  		I say, more than they that do watch
    the morning light to see.
     		7	Let Israel hope in the LORD,
    for with him mercies be;
 
 		And plenteous redemption
    is ever found with him,
8	and from all his iniquities
    he Isr'el shall redeem.

Psalm 30 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 28th Glasgow Recital 1999, used with permission. Meter: CM

2  O thou who art the Lord my God,
         I in distress to thee,
      With loud cries lifted up my voice,
         and thou hast healèd me.

   3  O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,
         and rescued from the grave;
      That I to pit should not go down,
         alive thou didst me save.

   4  O ye that are his holy ones,
         sing praise unto the Lord;
      And give unto him thanks, when ye
         his holiness record.

   5  For but a moment lasts his wrath;
         life in his favor lies:
      Weeping may for a night endure,
         at morn doth joy arise.
