The 1650 Scottish Psalter

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 67:1-7 (Tune: Garelochside)

8  The Lord our God is merciful,
        and he is gracious,
     Long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
        in mercy plenteous.

  9  He will not chide continually,
        nor keep his anger still.
 10  With us he dealt not as we sinned,
        nor did requite our ill.

 11  For as the heaven in its height
        the earth surmounteth far;
     So great to those that do him fear
         his tender mercies are:

 12  As far as east is distant from
        the west, so far hath he
     From us removed, in his love,
        all our iniquity.

Psalm 103:8-12 (Tune: Kilmarnock)

20  Unto thy cov'nant have respect;
         for earth's dark places be
      Full of the habitations
         of horrid cruelty.
  21  O let not those that be oppressed
         return again with shame:
      Let those that poor and needy are
         give praise unto thy name.
  22  Do thou, O God, arise and plead
         the cause that is thine own:
      Remember how thou art reproached
         still by the foolish one.
  23  Do not forget the voice of those
         that are thine enemies:
      Of those the tumult ever grows
         that do against thee rise.

Psalm 74:20-23 (Tune: Morven)

15  The idols of the nations
       of silver are and gold,
    And by the hands of men is made
       their fashion and mould.

16  Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
       eyes, but they do not see;
17  Ears have they, but hear not; and in
       their mouths no breathing be.

18  Their makers are like them; so are
       all that on them rely.
19  O Isr'el's house, bless God; bless God,
       O Aaron's family.

20  O bless the Lord, of Levi's house
       ye who his servants are;
    And bless the holy name of God,
       all ye the Lord that fear.

21  And blessed be the Lord our God
       from Zion's holy hill,
    Who dwelleth at Jerusalem.
       The Lord O praise ye still.

Psalm 135:15-21 (Tune: Dunfermline)

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)
