1650 Scottish Psalter (Lining Out of The Psalms)

169  O let my earnest pray’r and cry come near before thee, Lord: Give understanding unto me, according to thy word. 170  Let my request before thee come: after thy word me free. 171  My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught thy laws to me. 172  My tongue of thy most blessed word shall speak, and it confess; Because all thy commandements are perfect righteousness. 173  Let thy strong hand...

145  With my whole heart I cried, Lord, hear; I will thy word obey. 146  I cried to thee; save me, and I will keep thy laws alway. 147  I of the morning did prevent the dawning, and did cry: For all mine expectation did on thy word rely. 148  Mine eyes did timeously prevent the watches of the night, That in thy word with careful mind then meditate I might. 149  After thy loving-kindness hear my vo...

121  To all men I have judgment done, performing justice right; Then let me not be left unto my fierce oppressors’ might. 122  For good unto thy servant, Lord, thy servant’s surety be: From the oppression of the proud do thou deliver me. 123  Mine eyes do fail with looking long for thy salvation, The word of thy pure righteousness while I do wait upon. 124  In mercy with thy servant deal, thy laws...

113  I hate the thoughts of vanity, but love thy law do I. 114  My shield and hiding-place thou art: I on thy word rely. 115  All ye that evil-doers are from me depart away; For the commandements of my God I purpose to obey. 116  According to thy faithful word uphold and stablish me, That I may live, and of my hope ashamed never be. 117  Hold thou me up, so shall I be in peace and safety still; An...

105  Thy word is to my feet a lamp, and to my path a light. 106  I sworn have, and I will perform, to keep thy judgments right. 107  I am with sore affliction ev’n overwhelmed, O Lord: In mercy raise and quicken me, according to thy word. 108  The free-will-off ‘rings of my mouth accept, I thee beseech: And unto me thy servant, Lord, thy judgments clearly teach. 109  Though still my soul be in my...

97  O how love I thy law! it is my study all the day: 98  It makes me wiser than my foes; for it doth with me stay. 99  Than all my teachers now I have more understanding far; Because my meditation thy testimonies are. 100  In understanding I excel those that are ancients; For I endeavored to keep all thy commandements. 101  My feet from each ill way I stayed, that I may keep thy word. 102  I from...

81  My soul for thy salvation faints; yet I thy word believe. 82  Mine eyes fail for thy word: I say, When wilt thou comfort give? 83  For like a bottle I’m become, that in the smoke is set: I’m black, and parched with grief; yet I thy statutes not forget. 84  How many are thy servant’s days? when wilt thou execute Just judgment on these wicked men that do me persecute? 85  The proud have digged p...

57  Thou my sure portion art alone, which I did choose, O Lord: I have resolved, and said, that I would keep thy holy word. 58  With my whole heart I did entreat thy face and favor free: According to thy gracious word be merciful to me. 59  I thought upon my former ways, and did my life well try; And to thy testimonies pure my feet then turned I. 60  I did not stay, nor linger long, as those that...

49  Remember, Lord, thy gracious word thou to thy servant spake, Which, for a ground of my sure hope, thou causedst me to take. 50  This word of thine my comfort is in mine affliction: For in my straits I am revived by this thy word alone. 51  The men whose hearts with pride are stuffed did greatly me deride; Yet from thy straight commandements I have not turned aside. 52  Thy judgments righteous,...

25  My soul to dust cleaves: quicken me, according to thy word. 26  My ways I showed, and me thou heard’st: teach me thy statutes, Lord. 27  The way of thy commandements make me aright to know; So all thy works that wondrous are I shall to others show. 28  My soul doth melt, and drop away, for heaviness and grief: To me, according to thy word, give strength, and send relief. 29  From me the wicked...

1  Blessed are they that undefiled, and straight are in the way; Who in the Lord’s most holy law do walk, and do not stray. 2  Blessed are they who to observe his statutes are inclined; And who do seek the living God with their whole heart and mind. 3  Such in his ways do walk, and they do no iniquity. 4  Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts carefully. 5  O that thy statutes to observe thou...

1  O praise the Lord, for he is good; his mercy lasteth ever. 2  Let those of Israel now say, His mercy faileth never. 3  Now let the house of Aaron say, His mercy lasteth ever. 4  Let those that fear the Lord now say, His mercy faileth never. 5  I in distress call’d on the Lord; the Lord did answer me: He in a large place did me set, from trouble made me free. 6  The mighty Lord is on my side, I...

1  O give ye praise unto the Lord, all nations that be; Likewise, ye people all, accord his name to magnify. 2  For great to us-ward ever are his loving-kindnesses: His truth endures for evermore. The Lord O do ye bless.

1  When Isr’el out of Egypt went, and did his dwelling change, When Jacob’s house went out from those that were of language strange, 2  He Judah did his sanctuary, his kingdom Isr’el make: 3  The sea it saw, and quickly fled, Jordan was driven back. 4  Like rams the mountains, and like lambs the hills skipped to and fro. 5  O sea, why fledd’st thou? Jordan, back why wast thou driven so? 6  Ye moun...

1  The Lord did say unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes a stool, whereon thy feet may stand. 2  The Lord shall out of Zion send the rod of thy great pow’r: In midst of all thine enemies be thou the governor. 3  A willing people in thy day of pow’r shall come to thee, In holy beauties from morn’s womb; thy youth like dew shall be. 4  The Lord himself hath made an oath, an...

1  My heart is fixed, Lord; I will sing, and with my glory praise. 2  Awake up psaltery and harp; myself I’ll early raise. 3  I’ll praise thee ‘mong the people, Lord; ‘mong nations sing will I: 4  For above heav’n thy mercy’s great, thy truth doth reach the sky. 5  Be thou above the heavens, Lord, exalted gloriously; Thy glory all the earth above be lifted up on high. 6  That those who thy beloved...

1  Bless God, my soul. O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great; With honour and with majesty thou clothed art in state. 2  With light, as with a robe, thyself thou coverest about; And, like unto a curtain, thou the heavens stretchest out. 3  Who of his chambers doth the beams within the waters lay; Who doth the clouds his chariot make, on wings of wind make way. 4  Who flaming fire his ministers,...

1  O thou my soul, bless God the Lord; and all that in me is Be stirred up his holy name to magnify and bless. 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 n...

1  O Lord, unto my pray’r give ear, my cry let come to thee; 2  And in the day of my distress hide not thy face from me. Give ear to me; what time I call, to answer me make haste: 3  For, as an hearth, my bones are burnt, my days, like smoke, do waste. 4  My heart within me smitten is, and it is withered Like very grass; so that I do forget to eat my bread. 5  By reason of my groaning voice my bon...

1  I mercy will and judgment sing, Lord, I will sing to thee. 2  With wisdom in a perfect way shall my behavior be. O when, in kindness unto me, wilt thou be pleased to come? I with a perfect heart will walk within my house at home. 3  I will endure no wicked thing before mine eyes to be: I hate their work that turn aside, it shall not cleave to me. 4  A stubborn and a froward heart depart quite f...

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 nam...

1  O sing a new song to the Lord, for wonders he hath done: His right hand and his holy arm him victory hath won. 2  The Lord God his salvation hath caused to be known; His justice in the heathen’s sight he openly hath shown. 3  He mindful of his grace and truth to Isr’el’s house hath been; And the salvation of our God all ends of th’ earth have seen. 4  Let all the earth unto the Lord send forth...

1  O come, let us sing to the Lord: come, let us ev’ry one A joyful noise make to the Rock of our salvation. 2  Let us before his presence come with praise and thankful voice; Let us sing psalms to him with grace, and make a joyful noise. 3  For God, a great God, and great King, above all gods he is. 4  Depths of the earth are in his hand, the strength of hills is his. 5  To him the spacious sea b...

1  O Lord God, unto whom alone all vengeance doth belong; O mighty God, who vengeance own’st, shine forth, avenging wrong. 2  Lift up thyself, thou of the earth the sov’reign Judge that art; And unto those that are so proud a due reward impart. 3  How long, O mighty God, shall they who lewd and wicked be, How long shall they who wicked are thus triumph haughtily? 4  How long shall things most hard...

1  Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in generations all. 2  Before thou ever hadst brought forth the mountains great or small; Ere ever thou hadst formed the earth, and all the world abroad; Ev’n thou from everlasting art to everlasting God. 3  Thou dost unto destruction man that is mortal turn; And unto them thou say’st, Again, ye sons of men, return. 4  Because a thousand years appear no m...
