Ere ever thou hadst formed the earth,
         and all the world abroad;
      Ev'n thou from everlasting art
         to everlasting God.

   3  Thou dost unto destruction
         man that is mortal turn;
      And unto them thou say'st, Again,
         ye sons of men, return.

   4  Because a thousand years appear
         no more before thy sight
      Than yesterday, when it is past,
         or than a watch by night.

   5  As with an overflowing flood
         thou carry'st them away:
      They like a sleep are, like the grass
         that grows at morn are they.

   6  At morn it flourishes and grows,
         cut down at ev'n doth fade.
   7  For by thine anger we're consumed,
         thy wrath makes us afraid.

From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

Not My Problem

Sung at Greenville (FCC)

6  He did the power of his works
       unto his people show,
    When he the heathen's heritage
       upon them did bestow.

 7  His handy-works are truth and right;
       all his commands are sure:
 8  And, done in truth and uprightness,
       they evermore endure.

 9  He sent redemption to his folk;
       his covenant for aye
    He did command: holy his name
       and rev'rend is alway.

10  Wisdom's beginning is God's fear:
       good understanding they
    Have all that his commands fulfill:
       his praise endures for aye.

Psalm 111:6-10 (Tune: St. Columba)

PSALM 34  From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

7  The angel of the Lord encamps,
         and round encompasseth
      All those about that do him fear,
         and them delivereth.

   8  O taste and see that God is good:
         who trusts in him is blessed.
   9  Fear God his saints: none that him fear
         shall be with want oppressed.

  10  The lions young may hungry be,
         and they may lack their food:
      But they that truly seek the Lord
         shall not lack any good.

  11  O children, hither do ye come,
         and unto me give ear;
      I shall you teach to understand
         how ye the Lord should fear.

Psalm 34 v7-11(Tune: Land of Rest)

Psalm 106 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 23rd Glasgow Psalmody Recital (1994), used with permission.


  1  Give praise and thanks unto the Lord,
        for bountiful is he;
     His tender mercy doth endure
        unto eternity.

  2  God's mighty works who can express?
        or shew forth all his praise?
  3  Blessed are they that judgment keep,
        and justly do always.

  4  Remember me, Lord, with that love
        which thou to thine dost bear;
     With thy salvation, O my God,
        to visit me draw near:

  5  That I thy chosen's good may see,
        and in their joy rejoice;
     And may with thine inheritance
        triumph with cheerful voice.

Psalm 106 v1-5 (Tune: Caithness)

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

3 Set thou thy trust upon the Lord,
and be thou doing good;
And so thou in the land shalt dwell,
and verily have food.

4 Delight thyself in God; he'll give
thine heart's desire to thee.
5 Thy way to God commit, him trust,
it bring to pass shall he.
 
6 And, like unto the light, he shall
thy righteousness display;
And he thy judgment shall bring forth
like noon-tide of the day.

7 Rest in the Lord, and patiently
wait for him: do not fret
For him who, prosp'ring in his way,
success in sin doth get.

Psalm 37 (Tune: Azmon / Denfield)
