m	2	Know that the LORD himself is God.
		Not we ourselves but he
		has made us; we his people are;
		his pasture’s sheep are we.

f	3	O enter in his gates with thanks,
		into his courts with praise,
		and there to bless his worthy name
		your thankful voices raise,

	4	Because the LORD is good indeed;
		his love is ever sure.
c		Unto all generations will
		his faithfulness endure.

	8	“ ‘Ask me, and for your heritage
		I’ll give you nations near and far.
	9	You’ll break them with an iron rod,
		And smash them like a potter’s jar.’ ”

	10	Now therefore, kings, true wisdom find;
		You judges of the earth, give ear.
	11	With rev’rence come and serve the LORD;
		Bow down with joy and trembling fear.

	12	Pay homage to the royal son
		Lest you in wrath aside are thrust,
		For swiftly can his anger blaze.
		Blessèd are all who in him trust.

Psalm 2 v8-12 (Tune: Crasselius)

Sung at Greenville (FCC)

6  He did the power of his works
       unto his people show,
    When he the heathen's heritage
       upon them did bestow.

 7  His handy-works are truth and right;
       all his commands are sure:
 8  And, done in truth and uprightness,
       they evermore endure.

 9  He sent redemption to his folk;
       his covenant for aye
    He did command: holy his name
       and rev'rend is alway.

10  Wisdom's beginning is God's fear:
       good understanding they
    Have all that his commands fulfill:
       his praise endures for aye.

1 How delightful are your dwellings,
O Almighty LORD, to me!
2 For your courts my soul is yearning;
in your house I long to be.
Heart and flesh cry out aloud
for the true and living God.

3 Even sparrows find their dwelling,
and the swallow builds a nest
Near your altar, LORD Almighty,
where her offspring may have rest.
4 Blessed whose home is your abode,
they are ever praising God.

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
those who have a pilgrim’s mind.
6 Pools from autumn rains refresh them;
springs in Baca’s vale they find.
7 Strength increasing, Zionward
they go on their way to God.

(Meter: CM)  

Your steadfast love is great, O LORD;
it reaches heaven high.
Your faithfulness is wonderful,
extending to the sky.

6 Your righteousness is very great,
like mountains high and steep;
Your justice is like ocean depths.
Both man and beast you keep.

7 How precious is your steadfast love!
What confidence it brings!
Both high and low find shelter in
the shadow of your wings.

8 They feast within your house, and drink
from streams of your delight.
9 For with you is the source of life;
in your light we see light.

10 To those who know you as their God,
your steadfast love impart;
Maintain your righteousness to those
of pure and upright heart.

Note To Precentors & Harmony Learners:

I hope these resources will be a useful tool for anyone who wants to learn the harmonies set in the Scottish Psalter through either sol-fa or staff.

This will also help precentors become more familiar with the tunes avoiding panicking!

I have been inspired to learn and record the Psalms with the sol-fa harmony parts that go with each tune in the Scottish Psalm Psalters.

I love to play guitar & keyboard/piano in my spare time also and I thought it would be a good idea to learn the Psalm tunes on guitar & keyboard with the parts as I find it relaxing. I hope it benefits listeners whether just for relaxing or for making the parts clearer.

HOW I RECORD THE PSALMS & GUITAR:

All four parts are recorded in a stereo recording. Most recordings are recorded as follows: Soprano is positioned middle right, Bass middle left, Tenor left ear and Alto right ear. Headphones are recommended as you can hear the parts clearer.
