Psalm 31: 21-22 Tune: St. David
Psalm 31: 21-22
"he hath magnified his wondrous love to me within a city fortified."
Tune: St. David
PSALM 31 C.M.
1 In thee, O LORD, I put my trust,
shamed let me never be;
According to thy righteousness
do thou deliver me.
2 Bow down thine ear to me, with speed
send me deliverance:
To save me, my strong rock be thou,
and my house of defence.
3 Because thou art my rock, and thee
I for my fortress take;
Therefore do thou me lead and guide,
ev’n for thine own name’s sake.
4 And sith thou art my strength, therefore
pull me out of the net,
Which they in subtlety for me
so privily have set.
5 Into thine hands I do commit
my spirit: for thou art he,
O thou, JEHOVAH, God of truth,
that hast redeemèd me.
6 Those that do lying vanities
regard, I have abhorred:
But as for me, my confidence
is fixèd on the LORD.
7 I’ll in thy mercy gladly joy:
for thou my miseries
Considered hast; thou hast my soul
known in adversities:
8 And thou hast not inclosèd me
within the en’my’s hand;
And by thee have my feet been made
in a large room to stand.
9 O LORD, upon me mercy have,
for trouble is on me:
Mine eye, my belly, and my soul,
with grief consumèd be.
10 Because my life with grief is spent,
my years with sighs and groans:
My strength doth fail; and for my sin
consumèd are my bones.
11 I was a scorn to all my foes,
and to my friends a fear;
And specially reproached of those
that were my neighbours near:
When they me saw they from me fled.
12 Ev’n so I am forgot,
As men are out of mind when dead:
I’m like a broken pot.
13 For slanders I of many heard;
fear compassed me, while they
Against me did consult, and plot
to take my life away.
14 But as for me, O LORD, my trust
upon thee I did lay;
And I to thee, Thou art my God,
did confidently say.
15 My times are wholly in thine hand:
do thou deliver me
From their hands that mine enemies
and persecutors be.
16 Thy countenance to shine do thou
upon thy servant make:
Unto me give salvätion,
for thy great mercies’ sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD,
for on thee called I have:
Let wicked men be shamed, let them
be silent in the grave.
18 To silence put the lying lips,
that grievous things do say,
And hard reports, in pride and scorn,
on righteous men do lay.
19 How great’s the goodness thou for them
that fear thee keep’st in store,
And wrought’st for them that trust in thee
the sons of men before!
20 In secret of thy presence thou
shalt hide them from man’s pride:
From strife of tongues thou closely shalt,
as in a tent, them hide.
21 All praise and thanks be to the LORD;
for he hath magnified
His wondrous love to me within
a city fortified.
22 For from thine eyes cut off I am,
I in my haste had said;
My voice yet heard’st thou, when to thee
with cries my moan I made.
23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints;
because the LORD doth guard
The faithful, and he plenteously
proud doers doth reward.
24 Be of good courage, and he strength
unto your heart shall send,
All ye whose hope and confidence
doth on the LORD depend.

Psalm 31: 21 Tune: Maryton
Psalm 31: 21 of 24
"The LORD be praised because he showed the wonder of his love to me"
Tune: Maryton
The images are only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; they are not intended as a one-to-one correspondences. They are more like visual cross-references.
PSALM 31 L.M.
1 In you I’ve taken refuge, LORD;
You are my shelter in distress.
O let me never be ashamed,
But save me in your righteousness.
2 LORD, turn your ear to hear my cry;
Come quickly to deliver me,
And be my rock and firm defence,
My stronghold and security.
3 You are my fortress and my rock;
For your name’s sake be my sure guide.
4 Preserve me from the trap that’s set;
You are the refuge where I hide.
5 Redeem me, LORD, O God of truth;
My spirit I commit to you.
6 I hate all those who trust false gods;
I trust the LORD, for he is true.
7 I will rejoice and take delight
In all the love that you have shown,
For my affliction you have seen;
To you my soul’s distress is known.
8 You have not left me to my foe
Or given me into his hand;
But you have set my feet within
A spacious place where I may stand.
9 Be merciful to me, O LORD,
For my distress knows no relief;
My eyes grow weak with sorrow’s tears,
My soul and body with my grief.
10 My life in anguish is consumed;
My years pass by with many groans.
Through misery my strength has failed,
And greatly weakened are my bones.
11 Because of all my enemies
My neighbours treat me scornfully;
I’m viewed with dread by all my friends—
They see me coming and they flee.
12 I am forgotten as though dead,
Not even spared a passing thought;
I’m like a jar that’s cast away,
A useless, broken, shattered pot.
13 I hear the slander many spread,
And terror stalks me all the way.
Against me enemies conspire;
They plot to take my life away.
14 But as for me, I trust you, LORD;
I say, “You are my God alone.”
15 My times are ever in your hands;
Save me from foes who hunt me down.
16 Upon your servant shine your face;
Save me in your unfailing love.
17 LORD, let me not be put to shame,
For I have cried to God above.
But let the wicked suffer shame
And silent in the grave abide.
18 Suppress the lying lips which speak
Against the just with haughty pride.
19 Your goodness, LORD, is very great—
Prepared for those who fear your name.
You show your goodness openly
To all who your protection claim.
20 Your presence hides and shelters them
From those who plot to take their life,
And in your tent you keep them safe
From evil tongues that stir up strife.
21 The LORD be praised because he showed
The wonder of his love to me,
When in a city I was trapped,
Surrounded by the enemy.
22 In my alarm I rashly said
That I was hidden from your eyes;
But when I called to you for help,
In grace you listened to my cries.
23 O love the LORD, all you his saints!
The faithful will be kept by God,
But he will give the proud their due.
24 Be strong, take heart; hope in the LORD.

Psalm 30: 10 Tune: Westminster
Sing Psalms
Psalm 30: 10
Tune: Westminster
"Hear as I cry, O LORD my God, and listen to my plea."
Crow Road Free Church
The title has "A psalm. A song. For the dedication of a house. Of David."
PSALM 30 C.M.
1 O LORD, I will exalt your name
for you have rescued me;
You did not let my foes rejoice
and gloat triumphantly.
2 LORD God, in need I cried to you
and you restored my health.
3 O LORD, you brought me from the grave
and saved my soul from death.
4 You holy ones, sing to the LORD;
sing out with joyful voice.
When you recall his holy name,
then praise him and rejoice.
5 His anger but a moment lasts;
life-long his favour stays.
Though tears may last throughout the night,
joy comes with morning’s rays.
6 “I never shall be moved,” I said
in my prosperity.
7 You made my mountain firm and strong
when you, LORD, favoured me.
But when you hid your face from me
my heart was terrified.
8 To you, O LORD, I called aloud;
for mercy, Lord, I cried.
9 What gain will my destruction bring
if I descend to death?
Will dust proclaim your faithfulness
or praise you with its breath?
10 Hear as I cry, O LORD my God,
and listen to my plea.
Come to my aid in my distress;
have mercy, LORD, on me.
11 You turned my wailing into dance;
no longer was I sad.
My sackcloth gone, you gave me clothes
of joy, and I was glad.
12 Therefore my heart will sing to you
and never cease to praise;
To your great name, O LORD my God,
I will give thanks always.

PSALM 27 C.M.
1 The LORD’s my saviour and my light—
who will make me dismayed?
The LORD’s the stronghold of my life—
why should I be afraid?
2 When evildoers threaten me
to take my life away,
My adversaries and my foes
will stumble in that day.
3 Although an army hems me in,
my heart will feel no dread;
Though war against me should arise,
I will lift up my head.
4 One thing I’ll plead before the LORD,
and this I’ll seek always:
That I may come within God’s house
and dwell there all my days—
That on the beauty of the LORD
I constantly may gaze,
And in his house may seek to know
direction in his ways.
5 For in his dwelling he will keep
me safe in troubled days;
Within his tent he’ll shelter me,
and on a rock me raise.
6 My head will then be lifted high
above my enemies;
And in his tent I’ll sacrifice
with shouts of joy and praise.

O God my Saviour, leave me not;
do not reject my plea.
10 My parents may forsake me, LORD,
but you will welcome me.
11 Teach me, O LORD, how I should live,
and lead me in your way;
Make straight my path, because my foes
oppress me every day.
12 Give me not over to the will
of vehement enemies;
For liars rise to slander me
and breathe out cruelties.
13 Yet I am sure that in this life
God’s goodness I will see.
14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, take heart.
For him wait patiently.

"The LORD over floods sits as monarch alone"
Tune: St Denio
Falkirk Free Church
PSALM 29 11 11 11 11
1 You mighty ones, give to the LORD as his right,
Ascribe to the LORD God both glory and might.
2 To the LORD’s name due glory and honour accord;
In beauty of holiness worship the LORD.
3 The LORD’s voice is over the waters abroad,
And thunder proceeds from the glorious God.
Above all the waters God’s thunder is heard;
4 A powèrful voice is the voice of the LORD.
The voice of the LORD is majestic and loud;
5 By the voice of the LORD the great cedars are bowed.
Yes, even the cedars of Lebanon tall,
The LORD breaks in pieces and shatters them all.
6 Like the leap of a calf he shakes Lebanon’s rocks,
And Sirion skips like a startled wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD causes lightning to flash;
8 The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness crash.
The LORD makes the desert of Kadesh to shake;
9 The LORD causes oaks of the forest to quake.
The trees of the forest he strips of their leaves,
And he in his temple great glory receives.
10 The LORD over floods sits as monarch alone;
The LORD sits for ever as King on his throne.
11 The LORD makes the strength of his people increase;
The LORD gives his people the blessing of peace.

1 Give ye unto the LORD, ye sons
that of the mighty be,
All strength and glory to the LORD
with cheerfulness give ye.
2 Unto the LORD the glory give
that to his name is due;
And in the beauty of holiness
unto JEHOVAH bow.
3 The LORD’s voice on the waters is;
the God of majesty
Doth thunder, and on multitudes
of waters sitteth he.
4 A pow’rful voice it is that comes
out from the LORD most high;
The voice of that great LORD is full
of glorious majesty.
5 The voice of the ETERNAL doth
asunder cedars tear;
Yea, God the LORD doth cedars break
that Lebanon doth bear.
6 He makes them like a calf to skip,
ev’n that great Lebanon,
And, like to a young unicorn,
the mountain Sirion.
7 God’s voice divides the flames of fire;
8 the desert it doth shake:
The LORD doth make the wilderness
of Kadesh all to quake.
9 GOD’s voice doth make the hinds to calve,
it makes the forest bare:
And in his temple everyone
his glory doth declare.
10 The LORD sits on the floods; the LORD
sits King, and ever shall.
11 The LORD will give his people strength,
and with peace bless them all.

PSALM 25 L.M.
1 To you, O LORD, I lift my soul;
2 I trust in you continually.
Do not let me be put to shame,
Nor let my foes gloat over me.
3 No one who sets his hope in you
Will ever suffer such disgrace,
But those who act with treachery
Humiliating shame will face.
4 O LORD, reveal to me your ways,
And all your paths help me to know.
5 Direct and guide me in your truth;
Instruct me in the way to go.
You are my Saviour and my God;
All day I hope in you alone.
6 Remember, LORD, your love and grace
Which from past ages you have shown.
7 Do not recall my sins of youth
Or my rebellious, evil ways;
Remember me in your great love,
For you, O LORD, are good always.
8 Because the LORD is just and good,
He shows his paths to all who stray.
9 He guides the meek in what is right
And teaches them his holy way.
10 To those who keep his covenant laws
He shows his love consistently.
11 For your name’s sake, O LORD my God,
Forgive my great iniquity.
12 Who, then, are those who fear the LORD?
He’ll teach to them the chosen way
13 That they may prosper all their life;
Their children in the land will stay.
14 God’s friends are those who fear his name;
With them his cov’nant he will share.
15 My eyes are always on the LORD;
He’ll free my feet from every snare.
16 Turn to me, LORD, show me your grace;
I suffer pain and loneliness.
17 The troubles of my heart have grown;
Deliver me from my distress.
18 Look on my pain and suffering;
Forgive all my iniquity.
19 See how my foes have multiplied,
How fierce their hatred is for me!
20 O guard my life and rescue me,
And let me not be put to shame;
For I take refuge in you, LORD,
From those who would destroy my name.
21 Because I hope in you alone,
Let uprightness protect me still.
22 From all their troubles, O my God,
Redeem your people Israel.

thy paths, O teach thou me:
5 And do thou lead me in thy truth,
therein my teacher be:
For thou art God that dost
to me salvation send,
And I upon thee all the day
expecting do attend.
6 Thy tender mercies, LORD,
I pray thee to remember,
And loving-kindnesses; for they
have been of old for ever.
7 My sins and faults of youth
do thou, O LORD, forget:
After thy mercy think on me,
and for thy goodness great.
8 GOD good and upright is:
the way he’ll sinners show.
9 The meek in judgment he will guide,
and make his path to know.
10 The whole paths of the LORD
are truth and mercy sure,
To those that do his cov’nant keep,
and testimonies pure.
11 Now, for thine own name’s sake,
O LORD, I thee entreat
To pardon mine iniquity;
for it is very great.
12 What man is he that fears
the LORD, and doth him serve?
Him shall he teach the way that he
shall choose, and still observe.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease;
and his posterity
Shall flourish still, and of the earth
inheritors shall be.
14 With those that fear him is
the secret of the LORD;
The knowledge of his covènant
he will to them afford.
15 Mine eyes upon the LORD
continually are set;
For he it is that shall bring forth
my feet out of the net.
16 Turn unto me thy face,
and to me mercy show;
Because that I am desolate,
and am brought very low.
17 My heart’s griefs are increased:
me from distress relieve.
18 See mine affliction and my pain,
and all my sins forgive.
19 Consider thou my foes,
because they many are;
And it a cruel hatred is
which they against me bear.
20 O do thou keep my soul,
do thou deliver me:
And let me never be ashamed,
because I trust in thee.
21 Let uprightness and truth
keep me, who thee attend.
22 Redemption, Lord, to Israel
from all his troubles send.

PSALM 18 L.M.
1 I love you, LORD! You are my strength.
2 A fortress is the LORD to me—
My rock and my deliverer;
For refuge to my God I flee.
He is my stronghold and my shield,
The LORD who saves me by his might.
3 I’ll call on him and give him praise.
I’m saved; he puts my foes to flight.
4 The cords of death entangled me;
Destruction hit me like a wave.
5 Encircled by the snares of death,
I faced the terrors of the grave.
6 In my distress I called on God;
I cried out to the LORD for aid.
He from his temple heard my voice;
He listened to the prayer I made.
7 The earth before God’s anger quaked;
The mountains’ deep foundations shook.
8 Consuming fire blazed from his mouth,
And from his nostrils came forth smoke.
9 The heavens parted, he came down;
Beneath his feet the dark clouds lay.
10 Upon the cherubim he flew;
On wings of wind he made his way.
11 He made the dark his canopy,
Dark rain clouds swirling in the sky.
12 From brightness of his presence came
Clouds, hail and lightning from on high.
13 The LORD Most High sent forth his voice;
His thunder from the heavens pealed.
14 His arrows scattered all his foes;
His lightning drove them from the field.
15 The valleys of the sea lay bare
And earth’s foundations deep and vast,
When your rebuke went forth, O LORD—
The power of your nostrils’ blast.
16 From heav’n he reached to grasp my hand
And lift me as the waters rose;
17 He saved me from my enemy,
From all my overpowering foes.
18 They threatened me in my distress,
But God stood by me in my plight.
19 He brought me out and set me free,
Because in me he took delight.
20 According to my righteousness
The LORD dealt with me faithfully;
Because my hands were clean from sin,
The LORD my God rewarded me.
21 For I have kept the ways of God;
From him I have not turned away.
22 I have not strayed from his decrees;
His statutes ever with me stay.
23 Before the LORD I’ve kept myself
From blame and all transgression free.
24 Since in his sight my hands were clean,
The LORD my God rewarded me.
25 With faithful people you keep faith,
And to the blameless you are good.
26 With pure men you yourself are pure,
But with the crooked you are shrewd.
27 You save the humble and the meek,
But bring the proud down from their height.
28 You, LORD, will keep my lamp aflame;
God turns my darkness into light.
29 With help from God I can advance
Against a troop and rout them all,
And with the aid my God will give
I can leap over any wall.
30 For perfect is the way of God;
No flaw is found within his word.
To all who put their trust in him
A shield and refuge is the LORD.
31 For who is God except the LORD?
Besides our God, who is the Rock?
32 He is the God who gives me strength,
And he perfects the path I walk.
33 He makes my feet like feet of deer;
Upon the heights he makes me stand.
34 My arms can bend a bow of bronze;
In skills of war he trains my hand.
35 Your right hand gives me victory;
You stoop down low to make me great.
36 So that my footsteps do not trip
You smooth the pathway for my feet.
37 I chased and overtook my foes;
I did not turn till they were slain.
38 I crushed them all beneath my feet;
They fell and could not rise again.
39 With strength you armed me for the fight;
My foes you humbled at my feet.
40 You made them turn their backs in flight;
And their destruction was complete.
41 They cried for help, but none could save;
They cried to God—no answer came.
42 I beat them fine as wind-borne dust;
Like wayside dirt I scattered them.
43 You set me over many lands;
You saved me from my enemy.
A people whom I did not know
Are in subjection now to me.
44 The moment that they hear my voice
They cringe before me and obey.
45 In fear they tremble and lose heart;
They leave their strongholds in dismay.
46 The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!
My Saviour God exalted be!
47 He has avenged me, and subdued
Rebellious peoples under me.
48 You saved me from my enemies,
Exalting me above my foes;
You rescued me from violent men
Who sought my kingdom to oppose.
49 Therefore among the nations, LORD,
Your praise in song I will proclaim;
Before the peoples of the world
I’ll sing the glory of your name.
50 You give your king great victories;
Your loving-kindness you will pour
On David, your anointed one,
And his descendants evermore.

May all who seek my ruin

The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent, because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
Thus Paul went out from among them.
PSALM 9 (b) 11 11 11 11
1 Wholehearted thanksgiving to you I will bring;
In praise of your marvellous works I will sing.
2 For joy I will shout and exultantly cry
In praise of your glorious name, O Most High.
3 My enemies turn in disorderly flight;
They stumble and perish in face of your might.
4 For you have defended my right and my cause;
You sat in just judgment, upholding your laws.
5 You threatened the nations, the wicked destroyed;
Their names you erased and for ever made void.
6 My foes are disgraced and completely undone,
Their cities uprooted, their memory gone.
7 The LORD sits for ever as king on his throne;
His rule is established for justice alone.
8 He judges the world and he does what is right;
He governs the nations with justice and might.
9 The LORD is a stronghold in times of distress,
A refuge for those whom the wicked oppress.
10 Your people who know you will trust in your grace;
You’ve never forsaken those seeking your face.
11 Praise God, who in Zion has founded his throne;
Proclaim to the nations the deeds he has done.
12 The cry of afflicted ones rings in his ear;
Their blood he avenges, their plea he will hear.
13 LORD, see what I suffer from malice and hate!
Have pity, and lift me away from death’s gate,
14 That I in Jerusalem’s gates may proclaim
Your mercy, and sing to the praise of your name.
15 The nations are sunk in the pit they prepared;
Their feet in the net which they hid are ensnared.
16 The LORD by his justice has made himself known;
And by their own works are the wicked cast down.
17 The wicked return to the grave’s dark abode,
All nations and those who are heedless of God.
18 But God will remember the cause of the weak;
He will not let perish the hope of the meek.
19 Arise, O my God! Let not man win the day;
Let nations be judged in your presence, I pray.
20 O LORD, strike the nations; put fear in their breast
To teach them that they are but human at best.

1 I’ll praise you, LORD, with all my heart;
your wonders I’ll proclaim.
2 I will rejoice in you, Most High,
and praise your holy name.
3 Before you all my enemies fall,
they turn their backs and flee.
4 For you upheld my right and cause
and judged me righteously.
5 You have rebuked the nations, LORD;
the wicked you destroyed.
You blotted out the heathen’s name—
for ever made it void.
6 The enemy have met their doom,
destroyed eternally.
You have uprooted all their towns;
they’re lost to memory.
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.
12 For he, the avenger of man’s blood,
remembers evermore;
The cry of the afflicted one
he never will ignore.
13 O LORD, see how my enemies
are persecuting me.
Have mercy! From the gates of death
lift me and set me free,
14 So that in Zion’s city gates
your praise I may declare,
And that I may exult with joy
in your salvation there.
15 The nations all have fallen down
into the pit they made;
Their feet are tangled in the net
which they themselves have laid.
16 The LORD is known by righteous acts;
his justice always stands.
The wicked are ensnared in traps,
the work of their own hands.
17 The wicked will return to where
the dead have their abode,
Where all the heathen nations go
that have forgotten God.
18 The needy will not be ignored,
forgotten all their days;
The hopes and longings of the poor
will not be crushed always.
19 Arise, LORD! Let not man prevail;
judge nations from your throne.
20 That they may know how frail they are,
with fear, LORD, strike them down.

PSALM 94 7 6 7 6
1 O LORD, the God of vengeance,
O righteous God, shine forth!
2 Arise, condemn the haughty,
O Judge of all the earth.
3 How long will evildoers,
O LORD, be jubilant?
4 They pour out wicked boasting;
their words are arrogant.
5 O LORD, they crush your people,
oppress your heritage;
6 The widow, stranger, orphan
they murder in their rage.
7 They say, “God does not notice;
the LORD has closed his eyes.”
8 Take heed, you senseless people;
fools, when will you be wise?
9 Do you think the Creator,
who gave mankind the ear
And made the eye for seeing,
can neither see nor hear?
10 Does he who guides the nations
not punish them for wrong?
To him who gives instruction
does knowledge not belong?
11 All human thoughts are futile;
to you, LORD, they are known.
12 You bless those with correction
to whom your law is shown.
13 In troubled times you grant them
relief from their distress,
Until a pit is opened
to punish wickedness.
14 The LORD will not abandon
the folk who are his own;
His heritage, his chosen,
he never will disown.
15 For justice will be founded
once more on righteousness,
And all right-hearted people
approval will express.
16 Who will arise to help me
against the wicked one?
Who will stand up to aid me
when other help has gone?
17 Unless the LORD had helped me,
I’d soon have passed away
To dwell in death’s dark silence
far from the light of day.
18 When I said, “LORD, I’m slipping,”
your love came to my aid;
19 Your help gave joy and comfort
when I was so afraid.
20 Can God accept a tyrant
who issues harsh decrees,
And brings upon his subjects
oppressive miseries?
21 Against the righteous people
the evildoers plot;
To execute the guiltless,
such is their wicked thought.
22 But as for me, my refuge
is in the LORD Most High;
God has become my fortress
and on him I rely.
23 God will repay the wicked
the evil they have done;
The LORD our God will surely
destroy them every one.
