Sing Psalm 106:1-5 (Tune: Dunfermline) Scottish Metrical Psalm

1 Give praise and thanks unto the Lord,
for bountiful is he;
His tender mercy doth endure
unto eternity.

2 God’s mighty works who can express?
or shew forth all his praise?
3 Blessed are they that judgment keep,
and justly do always.

4 Remember me, Lord, with that love
which thou to thine dost bear;
With thy salvation, O my God,
to visit me draw near:

5 That I thy chosen’s good may see,
and in their joy rejoice;
And may with thine inheritance
triumph with cheerful voice.

Sing Psalm 126:1-6 (Tune: Spohr) Scottish Metrical Psalter

Dear Readers,

https://youtu.be/BIPQj9LUfKQ?si=3rlFA_y4jfh5gI1Y

Sing Psalm 126:1-6 (Tune: Spohr) Scottish Metrical Psalm

1 When Zion’s bondage God turned back,
as men that dreamed were we.
2 Then filled with laughter was our mouth,
our tongue with melody:

They ‘mong the heathen said, The Lord
great things for them hath wrought.
3 The Lord hath done great things for us,
whence joy to us is brought.

4 As streams of water in the south,
our bondage, Lord, recall.
5 Who sow in tears, a reaping time
of joy enjoy they shall.

6 That man who, bearing precious seed,
in going forth doth mourn,
He doubtless, bringing back his sheaves,
rejoicing shall return.

Dear Readers,

https://youtu.be/8Rz_O3hcyok?si=FpWocVV6smJRBI_x

Sing Psalm 122:1-9 (Tune: St. Paul) Scottish Metrical Psalm

1 I joyed when to the house of God,
Go up, they said to me.
2 Jerusalem, within thy gates
our feet shall standing be.

3 Jerus’lem, as a city, is
compactly built together:
4 Unto that place the tribes go up,
the tribes of God go thither:

To Isr’el’s testimony, there
to God’s name thanks to pay.
5 For thrones of judgment, ev’n the thrones
of David’s house, there stay.

6 Pray that Jerusalem may have
peace and felicity:
Let them that love thee and thy peace
have still prosperity.

7 Therefore I wish that peace may still
within thy walls remain,
And ever may thy palaces
prosperity retain.

8 Now, for my friends’ and brethren’s sakes,
Peace be in thee, I’ll say.
9 And for the house of God our Lord,
I’ll seek thy good alway.

Sing Psalm 100:1-5 (First version) (Tune: OLd 100th) Scottish Metrical Psalm

1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
2 Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.

3 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make:
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.

4 O enter then his gates with praise,
Approach with joy his courts unto:
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

5 For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

Sing Psalm 27:4-6 Scottish Metrical Psalm

4 One thing I of the Lord desired,
and will seek to obtain,
That all days of my life I may
within God’s house remain;

That I the beauty of the Lord
behold may and admire,
And that I in his holy place
may rev’rently enquire.

5 For he in his pavilion shall
me hide in evil days;
In secret of his tent me hide,
and on a rock me raise.

6 And now, ev’n at this present time,
mine head shall lifted be
Above all those that are my foes,
and round encompass me:

Therefore unto his tabernacle
I’ll sacrifices bring
Of joyfulness; I’ll sing, yea, I
to God will praises sing.

make me to hear the voice;
That so these very bones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.

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.

those that transgressors be;
And those that sinners are shall then
be turned unto thee.

Dear Readers,

https://youtu.be/fZemhWWV9Ic?si=KbktVKhPM29PAHcp

Sing Psalm 19:7-11 (Tune: St. Andrews) Scottish Metrical Psalm

7 God’s law is perfect, and converts
the soul in sin that lies:
God’s testimony is most sure,
and makes the simple wise.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right,
and do rejoice the heart:
The Lord’s command is pure, and doth
light to the eyes impart.

9 Unspotted is the fear of God,
and doth endure for ever:
The judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.

10 They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
to be desired are:
Than honey, honey from the comb
that droppeth, sweeter far.

11 Moreover, they thy servant warn
how he his life should frame:
A great reward provided is
for them that keep the same.

Sing Psalm 1:1-6 (Tune: St. Peter) Scottish Metrical Psalter

Dear Readers,

https://youtu.be/s-wkM1li-sM?si=z3XhATGPhsnSY7u0

Sing Psalm 1:1-6 (Tune: St. Peter) Scottish Metrical Psalm

1 That man hath perfect blessedness,
who walketh not astray
In counsel of ungodly men,
nor stands in sinners’ way,

Nor sitteth in the scorner’s chair:
2 But placeth his delight
Upon God’s law, and meditates
on his law day and night.

3 He shall be like a tree that grows
near planted by a river,
Which in his season yields his fruit,
and his leaf fadeth never:

And all he doth shall prosper well
4 The wicked are not so;
But like they are unto the chaff,
which wind drives to and fro.

5 In judgment therefore shall not stand
such as ungodly are;
Nor in th’ assembly of the just
shall wicked men appear.

6 For why? the way of godly men
unto the Lord is known:
Whereas the way of wicked men
shall quite be overthrown.

Scottish Metrical Psalter: Sing Psalm 147:1-8 (Tune: Huddersfield)

Dear Readers,

https://youtu.be/dyIng5knzHg?si=GLZa-uemkknaP6i1

Sing Psalm 147:1-8 (Tune: Huddersfield)

1 Praise ye the Lord; for it is good
praise to our God to sing:
For it is pleasant, and to praise
it is a comely thing.

2 God doth build up Jerusalem;
and he it is alone
That the dispersed of Israel
doth gather into one.

3 Those that are broken in their heart,
and grieved in their minds,
He healeth, and their painful wounds
he tenderly up-binds.

4 He counts the number of the stars;
he names them ev’ry one.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great pow’r;
his wisdom search can none.

6 The Lord lifts up the meek; and casts
the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to the Lord, and give him thanks;
on harp his praises sound;

8 Who covereth the heav’n with clouds,
who for the earth below
Prepareth rain, who maketh grass
upon the mountains grow.

Dear Readers,

https://youtu.be/BxMUV1p3lSY?si=Qq7of94PjfVqHit0

Scottish Metrical Psalm: Sing Psalm 139:1-10 (Tune: Belmont)

1 O Lord, thou hast me searched and known.
2 Thou know’st my sitting down,
And rising up; yea, all my thoughts
afar to thee are known.

3 My footsteps, and my lying down,
thou compassest always;
Thou also most entirely art
acquaint with all my ways.

4 For in my tongue, before I speak,
not any word can be,
But altogether, lo, O Lord,
it is well known to thee.

5 Behind, before, thou hast beset,
and laid on me thine hand.
6 Such knowledge is too strange for me,
too high to understand.

7 From thy Sp’rit whither shall I go?
or from thy presence fly?
8 Ascend I heav’n, lo, thou art there;
there, if in hell I lie.

9 Take I the morning wings, and dwell
in utmost parts of sea;
10 Ev’n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead,
thy right hand hold shall me.

1 Thee will I praise with all my heart,
I will sing praise to thee
2 Before the gods: And worship will
toward thy sanctuary.

I’ll praise thy name, ev’n for thy truth,
and kindness of thy love;
For thou thy word hast magnified
all thy great name above.

3 Thou didst me answer in the day
when I to thee did cry;
And thou my fainting soul with strength
didst strengthen inwardly.

4 All kings upon the earth that are
shall give thee praise, O Lord,
When as they from thy mouth shall hear
thy true and faithful word.

5 Yea, in the righteous ways of God
with gladness they shall sing:
For great’s the glory of the Lord;
who doth for ever reign.

6 Though God be high, yet he respects
all those that lowly be;
Whereas the proud and lofty ones
afar off knoweth he.

7 Though I in midst of trouble walk,
I life from thee shall have:
‘Gainst my foes’ wrath thou’lt stretch thine hand;
thy right hand shall me save.

8 Surely that which concerneth me
the Lord will perfect make:
Lord, still thy mercy lasts; do not
thine own hands’ works forsake.

And generations yet unborn
Shall praise and magnify the Lord.

The earth he viewed from heav’n on high;
20 To hear the pris’ner’s mourning groan,
And free them that are doomed to die;

21 That Zion, and Jerus’lem too,
His name and praise may well record,
22 When people and the kingdoms do
Assemble all to praise the Lord.

1 Th’ eternal Lord doth reign as king,
let all the people quake;
He sits between the cherubims,
let th’ earth be moved and shake.

2 The Lord in Zion great and high
above all people is;
3 Thy great and dreadful name (for it
is holy) let them bless.

4 The king’s strength also judgment loves;
thou settlest equity:
Just judgment thou dost execute
in Jacob righteously.

5 The Lord our God exalt on high,
and rev’rently do ye
Before his footstool worship him:
the Holy One is he.

6 Moses and Aaron ‘mong his priests,
Samuel, with them that call
Upon his name: these called on God,
and he them answered all.

7 Within the pillar of the cloud
he unto them did speak:
The testimonies he them taught,
and laws, they did not break.

8 Thou answer’dst them, O Lord our God;
thou wast a God that gave
Pardon to them, though on their deeds
thou wouldest vengeance have.

9 Do ye exalt the Lord our God,
and at his holy hill
Do ye him worship: for the Lord
our God is holy still.
