Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) Recorded Arbroath FCC Youth Weekend
(Meter: CM)

31  If they my laws break, and do not
         keep my commandements;
  32  I'll visit then their faults with rods,
         their sins with chastisements.

  33  Yet I'll not take my love from him,
         nor false my promise make.
  34  My cov'nant I'll not break, nor change
         what with my mouth I spake.

  35  Once by my holiness I sware,
         to David I'll not lie;
  36  His seed and throne shall, as the sun,
         before me last for aye.

  37  It, like the moon, shall ever be
         established stedfastly;
      And like to that which in the heav'n
         doth witness faithfully.

  38  But thou, displeased, hast cast off,
         thou didst abhor and loathe;
      With him that thine anointed is
         thou hast been very wroth.

Psalm 89 v31-38 (Tune: Winchester)

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.

Not My Problem

Sung at Greenville (FCC)

11  O children, hither do ye come,
         and unto me give ear;
      I shall you teach to understand
         how ye the Lord should fear.
  12  What man is he that life desires,
         to see good would live long?
  13  Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,
         and from ill words thy tongue.
  14  Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,
         pursue it earnestly.
  15  God's eyes are on the just; his ears
         are open to their cry.
  16  The face of God is set against
         those that do wickedly,
      That he may quite out from the earth
         cut off their memory.
  17  The righteous cry unto the Lord,
         he unto them gives ear;
      And they out of their troubles all
         by him delivered are.
  18  The Lord is ever nigh to them
         that be of broken sp'rit;
      To them he safety doth afford
         that are in heart contrite.


Psalm 34:11-18 (Tune: St. Matthew)

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)

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.
