Sung acapella 

1 O hear my cry, my righteous God.
Relieve me; I’m distressed.
Display your mercy to me now,
and answer my request.

6 “O who can show us any good?”
I hear so many say.
O LORD, shine on us with your light;
show us your face, I pray.

7 You filled my heart with greater joy
than others may have found
As they rejoiced at harvest time,
when grain and wine abound.

8 I will lie down and sleep in peace;
my heart will rest secure,
For you alone, O gracious LORD,
will keep me safe and sure.

Psalm 4 (Tune: Metzler)

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.

(Meter: SM )

7 I’ll praise the LORD my God,
whose counsel guides my choice;
And even in the night, my heart
recalls instruction’s voice.

8 Before me constantly
I set the LORD alone.
Because he is at my right hand
I’ll not be overthrown.

9 Therefore my heart is glad;
my tongue with joy will sing.
My body too will rest secure
in hope unwavering.

10 For you will not allow
my soul in death to stay,
Nor will you leave your Holy One
to see the tomb’s decay.

11 You have made known to me
the path of life divine.
Bliss shall I know at your right hand;
joy from your face will shine.

I have a few of these hiding away on my laptop. 

Headphones are highly recommended. It's hard to follow the individual parts in mono I find.

Psalm 150 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded at a Free Church of Scotland choir recording in the early 2000's

 1  Praise ye the Lord. God's praise within
         his sanctuary raise;
      And to him in the firmament
         of his pow'r give ye praise.

   2  Because of all his mighty acts,
         with praise him magnify:
      O praise him, as he doth excel
         in glorious majesty.

   3  Praise him with trumpet's sound; his praise
         with psaltery advance:
   4  With timbrel, harp, stringed instruments,
         and organs, in the dance.

   5  Praise him on cymbals loud; him praise
         on cymbals sounding high.
   6  Let each thing breathing praise the Lord.
         Praise to the Lord give ye.

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650)  Recorded at a Free Church of Scotland Psalmody Recital(Meter: CM)

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.

Psalm 10 (Tune: Glenluce)

But the upright ones will rule them, once the morning light has shone.
15 From the grave God will redeem me; he will take me for his own.
16 Do not quake before a rich man, though his fortune grows immense,
And his outward state increases— 17 for he will take nothing hence.

He will soon descend with nothing of the splendour he possessed,
18 Though in life he prospered greatly and they told him he was blessed.
19 He will go to join his fathers— never see the light of day.
20 Those with wealth and no discernment are like beasts that pass away.
