Sung acapella from: the scottish psalter of 1650

All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth; His praise forth tell: Come ye before Him and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed; Without our aid He did us make.
We are His folk; He doth us feed, and for His sheep He doth us take.

O enter then His gates with praise; Within His courts your thanks proclaim;
With grateful hearts your voices raise to bless and magnify His name.

Because the Lord our God is good, His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood and shall from age to age endure

2  Me cleanse from sin, and thoroughly wash
         from mine iniquity:
   3  For my transgressions I confess;
         my sin I ever see.
  
   7  Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,
         I shall be cleansed so;
      Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall
         be whiter than the snow.

   8  Of gladness and of joyfulness
         make me to hear the voice;
      That so these very bones which thou
         hast broken may rejoice.

   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.

0 But you, O LORD, be merciful to me
And raise me up their malice to repay.
11 I know that you are pleased with me, O LORD;
For over me my foe does not hold sway.

12 In my integrity you hold me fast;
Before you I will constantly remain.
13 O praise the LORD, the God of Israel,
For ever and for evermore! Amen.

  2  Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
        and not forgetful be
     Of all his gracious benefits
        he hath bestowed on thee.

  3  All thine iniquities who doth
        most graciously forgive:
     Who thy diseases all and pains
        doth heal, and thee relieve.

  4  Who doth redeem thy life, that thou
        to death may'st not go down;
     Who thee with loving-kindness doth
        and tender mercies crown:

Recorded @ Airdrie RPC during morning worship

1   		LISTEN to my words, O LORD,
    and my sighs before you lay.
2	Hear my cry, my king, my God;
    help me, for to you I pray.
 
2   	3	With the morning light, O LORD,
    you will hear my voice, my plea.
In the morning I will pray,
    and I'll wait expectantly.
 
3   	4	Truly you are not a God
    who in evil takes delight.
Evil will not dwell with you,
5	    nor the proud stand in your sight.
 
4   		You hate all who evil do.
6	    You will liars all destroy;
for the LORD abhors all who
    bloodshed and deceit employ;
 
mf     	5   	7	But in your abundant grace,
    to your house I will draw near;
looking to your holy place,
    there I'll worship in your fear.
 
m     	6   	8	Since, O LORD, my enemies
    for my soul do lie in wait,
lead me in your righteousness;
    make your way before me straight.
 
7   	9	On their words you can't rely;
    in their heart destruction's found.
Like an open grave's their throat;
    with deceit their words abound.
 
p     	8   	10	Hold them guilty, O my God;
    them for all their sins expel.
In their own schemes let them fall,
    for against you they rebel.
 
mf     	9   	11	Those who refuge take in you,
    let them ever shout for joy.
Shelter those who thus are glad.
    Those who love your name rejoice;
 
10   	12	And a blessing rich, O LORD,
    on the righteous man you'll pour.
With your favour, as a shield,
    you'll surround him evermore.

Psalm 5 (Tune: Morning Light)

2	Salvation, which is from the LORD,
		he has caused to be known.
		His righteousness has been revealed,
		to nations has been shown.

	3	He mindful of his grace and truth
		to Isr’el’s house has been,
		and the salvation of our God
		all ends of earth have seen.

	4	Let all the earth unto the LORD
		now make a joyful noise.
		Lift up your voice aloud to him;
		sing praises and rejoice.

	5	With harp, with harp and voice of praise
		unto the LORD now sing.
		With horn and trumpets gladly shout
		before the LORD, the king.

	6	Let sea and all that fills it roar,
		the world and dwellers there.
		Let rivers clap their hands; as one
		let mountains joy declare

	7	Before the LORD, because he comes
		judge of the earth to be.
		He’ll judge the world and peoples all
		with righteous equity.

	22	Because the kingdom to the LORD
		belongs as only his,
		likewise, among the nations all,

	23	Earth’s rich ones eat and worship will;
		all who to dust descend
		will bow to him; none of them can
		his soul from death defend.

	24	A coming generation will
		most truly keep his Word,
		and future generations, too,
		will learn about the Lord;

	25	And they will come and will declare,
		to people yet to be,
		the righteousness that is his own,
		for none did this but he."

Tune: Trust - D. Bruce Martin	(1920)

YET evermore I am with thee:
		thou holdest me by my right hand,
		and thou, ev’n thou, my guide shalt be;
		thy counsel shall my way com¬mand;
		and afterward in glory bright
		shalt thou receive me to thy sight. 

	For whom have I in heav’n but thee?
		None else on earth I long to know.
		My flesh may faint and weary be;
		my heart may fail and heavy grow;
		with strength doth God my heart restore;
		he is my portion evermore.

	They perish that are far from thee;
		lo, in their lewdness they shall die.
		But surely it is good for me 
		that unto God I should draw nigh.
		I refuge take in God the Lord, 
		that all thy works I may record.

7  Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;

      Be lifted up, that so the King
         of glory enter may.

   8  But who of glory is the King?
         The mighty Lord is this;
      Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might
         and strong in battle is.

   9  Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
         doors that do last for aye,
      Be lifted up, that so the King
         of glory enter may.

  10  But who is he that is the King
         of glory? who is this?
      The Lord of hosts, and none but he,
         the King of glory is.

mf	4	Advancing still from strength to strength,
		they go where other pilgrims trod,
		till each to Zion comes at length
		and stands before the face of God.
mp		Lord God of hosts, my pleading hear;
		O Jacob’s God, to me give ear.

	5	Look thou, O God, upon our Shield;
		the face of thine Anointed see;
m		One day within thy courts will yield
		more good than thousands with¬out thee.
		I’d rather stand near my God’s house
		than dwell in tents of wickedness.

mf	6	For God the Lord is shield and sun; 
		the Lord will grace and glory give.
		No good will he withhold from one
		who does uprightly walk and live.
		O Lord of hosts, how blest is he
		who places all his trust in thee!

Psalm 84 v7-12 (Tune: Melita)

THE earth and the riches with which it is stored,
the world and its dwellers belong to the LORD,
for he on the seas its foundations has laid,
and firm on the waters its pillars has made.
 
	O who will the hill of the LORD now ascend,
or who in the place of his holiness stand?
	The man of pure heart and of hands without stain,
who has not sworn falsely or loved what is vain.
 
	He will from the LORD then a blessing receive;
the God of salvation will righteousness give.
	Thus looking to him is this whole present race,
all those who, like Jacob, are seeking your face.

Psalm 43 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

3  O send thy light forth and thy truth;
         let them be guides to me,
      And bring me to thine holy hill,
         ev'n where thy dwellings be.

   4  Then will I to God's altar go,
         to God my chiefest joy:
      Yea, God, my God, thy name to praise
         my harp I will employ.

 5  Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
         what should discourage thee?
      And why with vexing thoughts art thou
         disquieted in me?

      Still trust in God; for him to praise
         good cause I yet shall have:
      He of my count'nance is the health,
         my God that doth me save.

Psalm 15 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Recorded by the Northern Presbytery Choir of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland.

1  Within thy tabernacle, Lord,
         who shall abide with thee?
      And in thy high and holy hill
         who shall a dweller be?

   2  The man that walketh uprightly,
         and worketh righteousness,
      And as he thinketh in his heart,
         so doth he truth express.

   3  Who doth not slander with his tongue,
         nor to his friend doth hurt;
      Nor yet against his neighbor doth
         take up an ill report.

   4  In whose eyes vile men are despised;
         but those that God do fear
      He honoureth; and changeth not,
         though to his hurt he swear.

   5  His coin puts not to usury,
         nor take reward will he
      Against the guiltless. Who doth thus
         shall never movèd be.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.

1  The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
   2     He makes me down to lie
      In pastures green: he leadeth me
         the quiet waters by.

   3  My soul he doth restore again;
         and me to walk doth make
      Within the paths of righteousness,
         ev'n for his own name's sake.

   4  Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
         yet will I fear none ill:
      For thou art with me; and thy rod
         and staff me comfort still.

   5  My table thou hast furnished
         in presence of my foes;
      My head thou dost with oil anoint,
         and my cup overflows.

   6  Goodness and mercy all my life
         shall surely follow me:
      And in God's house for evermore
         my dwelling-place shall be.

3	They all have turned aside;
    corrupt they have become.
Not one is doing any good,
    No, not a single one.
 
   	4	Have evil men not known?
    My people they destroy
as though they ate their daily bread.
    On God they never cry.
 
  	5	There in great fear were they
    where no fear yet had been.
The bones of those, who set up camp
    against them, God has strewn,
 
	And therefore then since God
    had so rejected them,
yes, for that reason, they're the ones
    whom you have put to shame.

  	6	Let Isr'el's help arise
    from Zion! God will bring
back captives; Jacob will rejoice!
    With gladness, Isr'el, sing!
