Tune: Rockingham - Edward Miller	1790
From 1912 Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church

Psalm 145 v15-21 (Tune: Rockingham / Communion)

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM)

8  The Lord our God is merciful,
        and he is gracious,
     Long-suffering, and slow to wrath,
        in mercy plenteous.

  9  He will not chide continually,
        nor keep his anger still.
 10  With us he dealt not as we sinned,
        nor did requite our ill.

 12  As far as east is distant from
        the west, so far hath he
     From us removed, in his love,
        all our iniquity.

 13  Such pity as a father hath
        unto his children dear;
     Like pity shews the Lord to such
        as worship him in fear.

Psalm 103 v8-13  (Tune: St Paul)

I lift my prayer lord trusting thy mercy
keep me from shame lord, save me from foes
all those who trust me, shame shall not touch them
only transgressors punished shall be.

show my thy ways lord make me to know them
lead me in truth lord my teacher be
for thou are god that sendeth salvation
i wait upon thee expectantly

thy tender mercies do thou remember
and loving kindness from long ago
forgive my sins lord, my youthful errors
in all thy goodness remember me

Psalm 25 (Tune: Bunessan / Morning Has Broken)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650.
Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland.

7  My heart is fixed, my heart is fixed,
         O God; I'll sing and praise.
   8  My glory wake; wake psalt'ry, harp;
         myself I'll early raise.

   9  I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord;
         'mong nations sing will I:
  10  For great to heav'n thy mercy is,
         thy truth is to the sky.

  11  O Lord, exalted be thy name
         above the heav'ns to stand:
      Do thou thy glory far advance
         above both sea and land.

Psalm 57 v7-11 (Tune: Warwick)

	5	Extend the king’s life, multiply
		the days that he will live.
		Like many generations be
		the years you will him give.

	6	May he before God ever sit;
		appoint your steadfast love
		and with it, Lord, your faithfulness
		to keep him from above;

	7	And so I will forever sing
		my praise unto your name,
		that, having made my vows, I may
		each day perform the same.

	2	May all who seek my harm
		in shame now turned back be.
		May they be turned back in disgrace
		who say, “Ha! Ha!” to me.

	3	Let all who seek you joy,
		be glad in you above.
		Keep saying, “God is great,” all those
		who your salvation love.

	4	But I am poor, in need;
		O God, come soon to me.
		O LORD, do not delay; my help
		and my deliv’rer be.

Psalm 70 (Tune: Zurich)

 Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (recording reproduced with permission)

3  Say unto God, How terrible
         in all thy works art thou!
      Through thy great pow'r thy foes to thee
         shall be constrained to bow.

   4  All on the earth shall worship thee,
         they shall thy praise proclaim
      In songs: they shall sing cheerfully
         unto thy holy name.

   5  Come, and the works that God hath wrought
         with admiration see:
      In's working to the sons of men
         most terrible is he.

	1	O my God, have mercy on me
			in your steadfast love, I pray;
		In your infinite compassion
			my transgressions wipe away.
	2	Cleanse me from iniquity;
			wash my sin away from me.

	3	For I know my own transgressions;
			I can see my sinful plight.
	4	You, you only, I’ve offended,
			and done evil in your sight;
		So your words are verified,
			and your verdict justified.

	5	From my birth I have been sinful—
			such the nature I received—
		Sinful from my first beginning
			in my mother’s womb conceived.
	6	Truth you look for in my heart;
			wisdom to me you impart.

	7	Cleanse with hyssop, purify me;
			I’ll be whiter than the snow.
	8	Let the bones you crushed be joyful;
			may I joy and gladness know.
	9	From my failure hide your face;
			blot out all my wickedness.

7 The LORD for ever reigns on high;
his throne for judgment stands.
8 He’ll judge the world in righteousness,
with justice rule the lands.

9 The LORD will be a hiding place
for those who are oppressed,
And he will be a strong defence
for those who are distressed.

10 All those who know your name, O LORD,
in you their trust will place,
For you do not abandon those
who seek your gracious face.

11 Sing praises to the LORD who sits
in Zion on his throne;
Among the nations of the world
proclaim what he has done.
