Psalm 77 v1-9 (Tune: Auld Lang Syne)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Sung by Inverness, Free North, Free Church of Scotland.

 21  All praise and thanks be to the Lord;
         for he hath magnified
      His wondrous love to me within
         a city fortified.

  22  For from thine eyes cut off I am,
         I in my haste had said;
      My voice yet heard'st thou, when to thee
         with cries my moan I made.
 
 23  O love the Lord, all ye his saints;
         because the Lord doth guard
      The faithful, and he plenteously
         proud doers doth reward.

  24  Be of good courage, and He strength
         unto your heart shall send,
      All ye whose hope and confidence
         doth on the Lord depend.

Psalm 31 v21-24 (Tune: St Lawrence)

  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: Evan)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (recording reproduced with permission)

7  God's law is perfect, and converts
         the soul in sin that lies:
      God's testimony is most sure,
         and makes the simple wise.

   8  The statutes of the Lord are right,
         and do rejoice the heart:
      The Lord's command is pure, and doth
         light to the eyes impart.

   9  Unspotted is the fear of God,
         and doth endure for ever:
      The judgments of the Lord are true
         and righteous altogether.

  10  They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
         to be desired are:
      Than honey, honey from the comb
         that droppeth, sweeter far.

  11  Moreover, they thy servant warn
         how he his life should frame:
      A great reward provided is
         for them that keep the same.

Psalm 19 v7-11 (Tune: Moravia)

 Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (recording reproduced with permission)

3  Say unto God, How terrible
         in all thy works art thou!
      Through thy great pow'r thy foes to thee
         shall be constrained to bow.

   4  All on the earth shall worship thee,
         they shall thy praise proclaim
      In songs: they shall sing cheerfully
         unto thy holy name.

   5  Come, and the works that God hath wrought
         with admiration see:
      In's working to the sons of men
         most terrible is he.

Psalm 45 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)
1     My heart inditing is
         good matter in a song:
      I speak the things that I have made,
         which to the King belong:
        
   2     Thou'rt fairest of all men;
         grace in thy lips doth flow:
      And therefore blessings evermore
         on thee doth God bestow.

   3     Thy sword gird on thy thigh,
         thou that art most of might:
      Appear in dreadful majesty,
         and in thy glory bright.

   4     For meekness, truth, and right,
         ride prosp'rously in state;
      And thy right hand shall teach to thee
         things terrible and great.

   5     Thy shafts shall pierce their hearts
         that foes are to the King;
      Whereby into subjection
         the people thou shalt bring.

Psalm 45 (Tune: Golden Hill)

17  His name for ever shall endure;
         last like the sun it shall:
      Men shall be blessed in him, and blessed
         all nations shall him call.

  18  Now blessèd be the Lord our God,
         the God of Israel,
      For he alone doth wondrous works,
         in glory that excel.

  19  And blessèd be his glorious name
         to all eternity:
      The whole earth let his glory fill.
         Amen, so let it be.

Psalm 100, to the tune Old 100th, at the beautiful wedding service of Mr & Mrs Chris and Alison Macleod. 

Psalm 100, Old 100th - Chris & Alison's Wedding

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650)  Recorded at Glasgow Reformed Presbyterian Church (Meter: CM)

1  When Zion's bondage God turned back,
       as men that dreamed were we.
 2  Then filled with laughter was our mouth,
       our tongue with melody:

    They 'mong the heathen said, The Lord
       great things for them hath wrought.
 3  The Lord hath done great things for us,
       whence joy to us is brought.

 4  As streams of water in the south,
       our bondage, Lord, recall.
 5  Who sow in tears, a reaping time
       of joy enjoy they shall.

 6  That man who, bearing precious seed,
       in going forth doth mourn,
    He doubtless, bringing back his sheaves,
       rejoicing shall return.

Psalm 126 (Tune: Azmon / Denfield)
