Psalm 25:8-14 (Tune: Garelochside)

(Sung at Greenville Presbyterian Church FCC)

5  Hold up my goings, Lord, me guide
         in those thy paths divine,
      So that my footsteps may not slide
         out of those ways of thine.
   6  I called have on thee, O God,
          because thou wilt me hear:
       That thou may'st hearken to my speech,
          to me incline thine ear.
   7  Thy wondrous loving-kindness show,
         thou that, by thy right hand,
      Sav'st them that trust in thee from those
         that up against them stand.
   8  As th' apple of the eye me keep;
         in thy wings shade me close
   9  From lewd oppressors, compassing
         me round, as deadly foes.

Psalm 17:5-9 (Tune: St. Andrews)

9  All mine iniquities blot out,
         thy face hide from my sin.
  10  Create a clean heart, Lord, renew
         a right sp'rit me within.
  11  Cast me not from thy sight, nor take
         thy Holy Sp'rit away.
  12  Restore me thy salvation's joy;
         with thy free Sp'rit me stay.
  13  Then will I teach thy ways unto
         those that transgressors be;
      And those that sinners are shall then
         be turned unto thee.
  14  O God, of my salvation God,
         me from blood-guiltiness
      Set free; then shall my tongue aloud
         sing of thy righteousness.
  15  My closèd lips, O Lord, by thee
         let them be opened;
      Then shall thy praises by my mouth
         abroad be publishèd.

Psalm 51:9-15 (Tune: Walsall)

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)

18  I will give thanks to thee, O Lord,
         within th' assembly great;
      And where much people gathered are
         thy praises forth will set.
  19  Let not my wrongful enemies
         proudly rejoice o'er me;
      Nor who me hate without a cause,
         let them wink with the eye.
  20  For peace they do not speak at all;
         but crafty plots prepare
      Against all those within the land
         that meek and quiet are.
  21  With mouths set wide, they 'gainst me said,
         Ha, ha! our eye doth see.
  22  Lord, thou hast seen, hold not thy peace;
         Lord, be not far from me.

Psalm 35:18-22 (Tune: St. Flavian)

Sung at Greenville (FCC)

23  Stir up thyself; wake, that thou may'st
         judgment to me afford,
      Ev'n to my cause, O thou that art
         my only God and Lord.
  24  O Lord my God, do thou me judge
         after thy righteousness;
      And let them not their joy 'gainst me
         triumphantly express:
  25  Nor let them say within their hearts,
         Ah, we would have it thus;
      Nor suffer them to say, that he
         is swallowed up by us.
  26  Shamed and confounded be they all
         that at my hurt are glad;
      Let those against me that do boast
         with shame and scorn be clad.
  27  Let them that love my righteous cause
         be glad, shout, and not cease
      To say, The Lord be magnified,
         who loves his servant's peace.
  28  Thy righteousness shall also be
         declared by my tongue;
      The praises that belong to thee
         speak shall it all day long.

Psalm 35:23-28 (Tune: Lyra)

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.

Psalm 111:6-10 (Tune: St. Columba)

Sung at Greenville (FCC)

1  O Lord, thou hast been favorable
         to thy beloved land:
      Jacob's captivity thou hast
         recalled with mighty hand.
   2  Thou pardoned thy people hast
         all their iniquities;
      Thou all their trespasses and sins
         hast covered from thine eyes.
   3  Thou took'st off all thine ire, and turn'dst
         from thy wrath's furiousness.
   4  Turn us, God of our health, and cause
         thy wrath 'gainst us to cease.
   5  Shall thy displeasure thus endure
         against us without end?
      Wilt thou to generations all
         thine anger forth extend?
   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.

Psalm 85:1-7 (Tune: Contemplation)

Sung at Greenville (FCC)
13  But as for me, when they were sick,
         in sackcloth sad I mourned:
      My humbled soul did fast, my pray'r
         into my bosom turned.
  14  Myself I did behave as he
         had been my friend or brother;
      I heavily bowed down, as one
         that mourneth for his mother.
  15  But in my trouble they rejoiced,
         gath'ring themselves together;
      Yea, objects vile together did
         themselves against me gather:
      I knew it not; they did me tear,
         and quiet would not be.
  16  With mocking hypocrites, at feasts
         they gnashed their teeth at me.
  17  How long, Lord, look'st thou on? from those
         destructions they intend
      Rescue my soul, from lions young
         my darling do defend.

Psalm 35:13-17 (Tune: Torwood)

Sung at Greenville (FCC)

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.
