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 23 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded at Dowanvale free church.

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 23 (Tune: Bays of Harris)

Yet will I fear no ill,
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

 4. A table Thou hast furnished me
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

 5. Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me,
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

Psalm 133 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. Donald Martin singing Psalm 133 at the induction of Rev Iain Smith
Recording from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7jSDWy_P7M

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.
