This is one of the most impressive sounds i have ever heard!!! Absolutely stunning!

Niall,  Your recordings are wonderful.  I especially enjoy the metrical singing of the psalms in Gaelic.  Are you able to say who the presenters and congregations are of your recordings?

Psalm 1 (Tune: Spancil Hill)

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650)  From the 'Worthy to be Praised' series of Psalmody CDs: sing-the-psalms.webs.com/ (Meter: CM)

8  His loving-kindness yet the Lord
         command will in the day,
      is song's with me by night; to God,
         by whom I live, I'll pray:

   9  And I will say to God my rock,
         Why me forgett'st thou so?
      Why, for my foes' oppression,
         thus mourning do I go?

  10  'Tis as a sword within my bones,
         when my foes me upbraid;
      Ev'n when by them, Where is thy God?
         'tis daily to me said.

  11  O why art thou cast down, my soul?
         why, thus with grief oppresed,
      Art thou disquieted in me?
         in God still hope and rest:

      For yet I know I shall him praise,
         who graciously to me
      The health is of my countenance,
         yea, mine own God is he.

Psalm 42 v8-11 (Tune: Notting Hill)

Psalm 32 v 7-11 - Ardross

I suppose the title should read 'found recordings' huh

Psalm 68 - Ericstane

Psalm 22 v1-6 Tune - Bangor

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.


Ps 43 Martyrs

Ps 50 v 1-6 Golden Hill

Ps 145 v 17-21 Rockingham (Communion)

Psalm 120 sung acapella From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded in Greenville Presbyterian Church (Free Church Continuing), USA.

3  What shall be giv'n thee? or what shall
       be done to thee, false tongue?
 4  Ev'n burning coals of juniper,
       sharp arrows of the strong.

 5  Woe's me that I in Mesech am
       a sojourner so long;
    That I in tabernacles dwell
       to Kedar that belong.

 6  My soul with him that hateth peace
       hath long a dweller been.
 7  I am for peace; but when I speak,
       for battle they are keen.

Psalm 120 (Tune: Dundee)

Psalm 142 From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded in Greenville Presbyterian Church (Free Church Continuing), USA.

 3  When in me was o'erwhelmed my sp'rit,
       then well thou knew'st my way;
    Where I did walk a snare for me
       they privily did lay.

 6  Because I am brought very low,
       attend unto my cry:
    Me from my persecutors save,
       who stronger are than I.

 7  From prison bring my soul, that I
       thy name may glorify:
    The just shall compass me, when thou
       with me deal'st bounteously.

Psalm 142 (Tune: Elgin)

Psalm 40 sung Acapella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at an Arbroath youth weekend. (Meter: CM) Support the psalms - www.patreon.com/join/psalms

1  I waited for the Lord my God,
         and patiently did bear;
      At length to me he did incline
         my voice and cry to hear.

   2  He took me from a fearful pit,
         and from the miry clay,
      And on a rock he set my feet,
         establishing my way.

   3  He put a new song in my mouth,
         our God to magnify:
      Many shall see it, and shall fear,
         and on the Lord rely.

   4  O blessed is the man whose trust
         upon the Lord relies;
      Respecting not the proud, nor such
         as turn aside to lies.

Psalm 149 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at 29rd Glasgow Recital 1998, used with permission. Meter: CM

2  Let Isr'el in his Maker joy,
         and to him praises sing:
      Let all that Zion's children are
         be joyful in their King.

   3  O let them unto his great name
         give praises in the dance;
      Let them with timbrel and with harp
         in songs his praise advance.

   4  For God doth pleasure take in those
         that his own people be;
      And he with his salvation
         the meek will beautify.

Psalm 42 sung a capella from the scottish psalter of 1650. Meter: (CM). Recording used with permission of the RP Northern Presbytery Choir.

1  Like as the hart for water-brooks
         in thirst doth pant and bray;
      So pants my longing soul, O God,
         that come to thee I may.

   2  My soul for God, the living God,
         doth thirst: when shall I near
      Unto thy countenance approach,
         and in God's sight appear?

   3  My tears have unto me been meat,
         both in the night and day,
      While unto me continually,
         Where is thy God? they say.

   5  O why art thou cast down, my soul?
         why in me so dismayed?
      Trust God, for I shall praise him yet,
         his count'nance is mine aid.

Psalm 16 (Gaelic) - Moravia
