6  That in thee may thy people joy,
         wilt thou not us revive?
   7  Show us thy mercy, Lord, to us
         do thy salvation give.

   8  I'll hear what God the Lord will speak:
         to his folk he'll speak peace,
      And to his saints; but let them not
         return to foolishness.

   9  To them that fear him surely near
        is his salvation;
      That glory in our land may have
         her habitation.

  10  Truth met with mercy, righteousness
         and peace kissed mutually:
  11  Truth springs from earth, and righteousness
         looks down from heaven high.

  12  Yea, what is good the Lord shall give;
         our land shall yield increase:
  13  Justice, to set us in his steps,
         shall go before his face.

Psalm 85 v6-13 (Tune: St Bernard)

Recorded at Airdrie RP Church (2010)

 1  That man hath perfect blessedness,
         who walketh not astray
      In counsel of ungodly men,
         nor stands in sinners' way,

   2  Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:
         But placeth his delight
      Upon God's law, and meditates
         on his law day and night.

   3  He shall be like a tree that grows
         near planted by a river,
      Which in his season yields his fruit,
         and his leaf fadeth never:

   4  And all he doth shall prosper well
         The wicked are not so;
      But like they are unto the chaff,
         which wind drives to and fro.

   5  In judgment therefore shall not stand
         such as ungodly are; 
      Nor in th' assembly of the just
         shall wicked men appear.

   6  For why? the way of godly men
         unto the Lord is known:
      Whereas the way of wicked men
         shall quite be overthrown.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650

   3  My soul is also vexed sore;
      But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make
   4  Return, O Lord, my soul set free;
      O save me, for thy mercies' sake.

   5  Because those that deceased are
      Of thee shall no remembrance have;
      And who is he that will to thee
      Give praises lying in the grave?

   6  I with my groaning weary am,
      I also all the night my bed
      Have caused for to swim; and I
      With tears my couch have watered.

Psalm 6 (Tune: Finnart)

1 God will I bless all times; his praise my mouth shall still express.
2 My soul shall boast in God: the meek shall hear with joyfulness.

3 Extol the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, he heard, and did me from all fears deliver.

5 They looked to him, and lightened were: not shamed were their faces. 
6 This poor man cried, God heard, and saved him from all his distresses.

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.

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 2 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

1  Why rage the heathen? and vain things
         why do the people mind?
   2  Kings of the earth do set themselves,
         and princes are combined,

      To plot against the Lord, and his
         Anointed, saying thus,
   3  Let us asunder break their bands,
         and cast their cords from us.

   4  He that in heaven sits shall laugh;
         the Lord shall scorn them all.
   5  Then shall he speak to them in wrath,
         in rage he vex them shall.

   6  Yet, notwithstanding, I have him
         to be my King appointed;
      And over Zion, my holy hill,
         I have him King anointed.

   7  The sure decree I will declare:
         The Lord hath said to me,
      Thou art mine only Son; this day
         I have begotten thee.

   8  Ask of me, and for heritage
         the heathen I'll make thine;
      And, for possession, I to thee
         will give earth's utmost line.

1  Wherefore is it that thou, O Lord,
         dost stand from us afar?
      And wherefore hidest thou thyself,
         when times so troublous are?

   2  The wicked in his loftiness
         doth persecute the poor:
      In these devices they have framed
         let them be taken sure.

17  O Lord, of those that humble are
         thou the desire didst hear;
      Thou wilt prepare their heart, and thou
         to hear wilt bend thine ear;

  18  To judge the fatherless, and those
         that are oppressed sore;
      That man, that is but sprung of earth,
         may them oppress no more.
