Psalm 145C (Tune: Rockingham)

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.

Psalm 16v8-11

Psalm 40v1-5 (1650 Metrical Psalms version) to the tune Ballerma. Sung at the Free Church Youth Conference, March 2023

1  I waited for the Lord my God,
         and patiently did bear;
      At length to me he did incline
         my voice and cry to hear.
   2  He took me from a fearful pit,
         and from the miry clay,
      And on a rock he set my feet,
         establishing my way.
   3  He put a new song in my mouth,
         our God to magnify:
      Many shall see it, and shall fear,
         and on the Lord rely.
   4  O blessed is the man whose trust
         upon the Lord relies;
      Respecting not the proud, nor such
         as turn aside to lies. 
   5  O Lord my God, full many are
         the wonders thou hast done;
      Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far
         above all thoughts are gone:
      In order none can reckon them
         to thee: if them declare,
      And speak of them I would, they more
         than can be numbered are.

	2	May he remember all your gifts;
		may he accept your sacrifice.
		May he grant you your heart’s desire,
		and bring to all your plans success.

3	In your salvation we’ll rejoice,
		in God’s name raise our banners high.
		O may the LORD grant all your prayers;
		may he fulfil your every cry.

	4	I know now that the LORD defends,
		and saves his own anointed king.
		From holy heav’n he answer sends;
		his right hand saving power will bring.

	5	In chariots some put confidence,
		and on their horses some rely,
		but we remember for defence
		the name of God, the LORD Most High.

	6	While they are made to bow and fall,
		we risen have and upright stand.
		O answer us the day we call,
		and save the king, LORD, by your hand.

23 My strength he weakened in the way,
My days of life he shortened.
24 My God, O take me not away
In mid-time of my days, I said:

Thy years throughout all ages last.
25 Of old thou hast established
The earth’s foundation firm and fast:
Thy mighty hands the heav’ns have made.

26 They perish shall, as garments do,
But thou shalt evermore endure;
As vestures, thou shalt change them so;
And they shall all be changed sure:

27 But from all changes thou art free;
Thy endless years do last for aye.
28 Thy servants, and their seed who be,
Established shall before thee stay.

sung a capella from the scottish psalter of 1650.

	10	He does not punish our misdeeds,
		Or give our sins their just reward.
	11	How great his love—as high as heaven—
		Towards all those who fear the LORD!


12	As far as east is from the west,
		So far his love has borne away
		Our many sins and trespasses
		And all the guilt that on us lay.

	13	Just as a father loves his child,
		So God loves those who fear his name.
	14	For he remembers we are dust,
		And well he knows our feeble frame.

Thanks for listening! 
This is Psalm 8:3-9 from the 2003 Sing Psalms, sung acapella to the tune "Richmond." 

Lyrics: 
3. "When I regard the heavens you made,
your fingers’ work I trace;
I see the moon and shining stars
which you have set in place.

4. I ask myself, “What then is man
that you should give him thought—
The son of man, that you to him
such gracious care have brought?”

5. You made him little less than those
who dwell in heaven above,
And you have crowned and honoured him
with glory and with love.

6. You gave him charge of all the works
created by your hand,
And everything that you had made
you gave him to command

7,8. All flocks and herds, and birds and fish,
all beasts both wild and tame.
9. In all the earth, O LORD our Lord,
how glorious is your name!"

Text: Psalm 23 (The Lord is my Shepherd) sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. Recorded by Bon Accord singing group from Trinity Reformed Presbyterian Church, Northern Ireland.

1 The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
2 He makes me down to lie
In pastures green: he leadeth me
the quiet waters by
.
3 My soul he doth restore again;
and me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
ev'n for his own name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill:
For thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

5 My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

6 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me:
And in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be.

Psalm 24 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the Free Church of Scotland Inverness Festival of Psalms 2000.

7 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

8 But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might
and strong in battle is.

9 Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

10 But who is he that is the King
of glory? who is this?
The Lord of hosts, and none but he,
the King of glory is.

Hallelujah... Amen...

1 The LORD is my shepherd; no want shall I know.
2 He makes me lie down where the green pastures grow;
He leads me to rest where the calm waters flow.

3 My wandering steps he brings back to his way,
In straight paths of righteousness making me stay;
And this he has done his great name to display.

4 Though I walk in death’s valley, where darkness is near,
Because you are with me, no evil I’ll fear;
Your rod and your staff bring me comfort and cheer.

5 In the sight of my en’mies a table you spread.
The oil of rejoicing you pour on my head;
My cup overflows and I’m graciously fed.

6 So surely your covenant mercy and grace
Will follow me closely in all of my ways;
I will dwell in the house of the LORD all my days.

PSALM 13 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

1  How long wilt thou forget me, Lord?
       shall it for ever be?
    O how long shall it be that thou
       wilt hide thy face from me?

 2  How long take counsel in my soul,
       still sad in heart, shall I?
    How long exalted over me
       shall be mine enemy?

 3  O Lord my God, consider well,
       and answer to me make:
    Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep
       of death me overtake:

 4  Lest that mine enemy should say,
       Against him I prevailed;
    And those that trouble me rejoice,
       when I am moved and failed.

 5  But I have all my confidence
       thy mercy set upon;
    My heart within me shall rejoice
       in thy salvation.

 6  I will unto the Lord my God
       sing praises cheerfully,
    Because he hath his bounty shown
       to me abundantly.

Psalm 13 (Tune: Stornoway)

"Because your love is better than life,
    my lips will glorify you.
 I will praise you as long as I live,
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.
