NOTE: The tune Zenka was written by a Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland missionary in the 1950's for the congregation of a mission work in Africa. The music is copywrited. Efforts to locate a published copy of the music have, thus far, proved unsuccessful. The author is thankful for the help of two friends who are communicant members of the FPSC who provided the music for the melody.

Psalm 40
To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David

Psalm 40:1-9, St. Flavian 112, CM

1   I waited for the Lord my God,
          and patiently did bear;
     At length to me he did incline
          my voice and cry to hear.
✏
 2   He took me from a fearful pit,
          and from the miry clay,
     And on a rock he set my feet,
          establishing my way.
✏
 3   He put a new song in my mouth,
          our God to magnify:
     Many shall see it, and shall fear,
          and on the Lord rely.
✏
 4   O blessed is the man whose trust
          upon the Lord relies;
     Respecting not the proud, nor such
          as turn aside to lies.
✏
 5    O Lord my God, full many are
          the wonders thou hast done;
     Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far
          above all thoughts are gone:
✏
     In order none can reckon them
          to thee: if them declare,
     And speak of them I would, they more
          than can be number'd are.
✏
 6    No sacrifice nor offering
          didst thou at all desire;
     Mine ears thou bor'd: sin-off 'ring thou
          and burnt didst not require:
✏
 7   Then to the Lord these were my words,
          I come, behold and see;
     Within the volume of the book
          it written is of me:
✏
 8   To do thy will I take delight,
          O thou my God that art;
     Yea, that most holy law of thine
          I have within my heart.
✏
 9   Within the congregation great
          I righteousness did preach:
     Lo, thou dost know, O Lord, that I
          refrained not my speech.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Psalm 119
Teth, the 9th Part.

Psalm 119:65-72, St. Thomas 127, CM

65   Well hast thou with thy servant dealt,
          as thou didst promise give.
66   Good judgment me, and knowledge teach,
          for I thy word believe.
✏
67   Ere I afflicted was I stray'd;
          but now I keep thy word.
68   Both good thou art, and good thou do'st:
          teach me thy statutes, Lord.
✏
69   The men that are puff 'd up with pride
          against me forg'd a lie;
     Yet thy commandements observe
          with my whole heart will I.
✏
70   Their hearts, through worldly ease and wealth,
          as fat as grease they be:
     But in thy holy law I take
          delight continually.
✏
71   It hath been very good for me
          that I afflicted was,
     That I might well instructed be,
          and learn thy holy laws.
✏
72   The word that cometh from thy mouth
          is better unto me
     Than many thousands and great sums
          of gold and silver be.

Psalm 100
David’s Psalm of praise

Psalm 100 (I):1-5, Old 100th 10, LM

 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.

Psalm 25
A Psalm of David

Psalm 25:4-11, Franconia 163, CM

 4   Shew me thy ways, O Lord;
          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.

Psalm 145
David’s Psalm of praise

Psalm 145 (II):12-22, Doversdale 4, LM

1   O Lord, thou art my God and King;
          Thee will I magnify and praise:
     I will thee bless, and gladly sing
          Unto thy holy name always.

 2    Each day I rise I will thee bless,
          And praise thy name time without end.
 3    Much to be prais'd, and great God is;
          His greatness none can comprehend.

 4   Race shall thy works praise unto race,
          The mighty acts show done by thee.
 5   I will speak of the glorious grace,
          And honour of thy majesty;

     Thy wondrous works I will record.
 6        By men the might shall be extoll'd
     Of all thy dreadful acts, O Lord:
          And I thy greatness will unfold.

 7   They utter shall abundantly
          The mem'ry of thy goodness great;
     And shall sing praises cheerfully,
          Whilst they thy righteousness relate.

 8   The Lord our God is gracious,
          Compassionate is he also;
     In mercy he is plenteous,
          But unto wrath and anger slow.

Psalm 51
A Song of degrees.

Psalm 51:1-8, St. Kilda 116, CM

 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.
  
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.

13   Then will I teach thy ways unto
          those that transgressors be;
     And those that sinners are shall then
          be turned unto thee.

14   O God, of my salvation God,
          me from blood-guiltiness
     Set free; then shall my tongue aloud
          sing of thy righteousness.
 
15   My closed lips, O Lord, by thee
          let them be opened;
     Then shall thy praises by my mouth
          abroad be published.

Psalm 25
A Psalm of David

Psalm 25 (II):12-22, Coleshill 42, CM.

12   What man fears God? him shall he teach
          the way that he shall chuse.
13   His soul shall dwell at ease; his seed
          the earth, as heirs, shall use.

14   The sec-ret of the Lord is with
          such as do fear his name;
     And he his holy co-ven-ant
          will man-i-fest to them.

15   To-wards the Lord my wait-ing eyes
          Con-tin-u-ly are set;
     For he it is that shall bring forth
          my feet out of the net.

16   O turn thee un-to me, O God,
          have mer-cy me up-on;
     Be-cause I sol-i-tar-y am,
          and in af-flic-tion.

17   Enlarg'd the griefs are of mine heart;
          me from dis-tress re-lieve.
18   See mine af-flict-ion and my pain,
          and all my sins for-give.

19   Con-sid-er thou mine en-em-ies,
          Be-cause they many are;
     And it a cr-uel hat-red is
          which they a-gainst me bear.

20   O do thou keep my soul; O God,
          do thou de-liv-er me:
     Let me not be asham'd; for I
          do put my trust in thee.

21   O let in-teg-ri-ty and truth
          keep me, who thee at-tend.
22   Re-demp-tion, Lord, to Is-ra-el
          from all his trou-bles send.

---

Psalm 130
A Song of degrees.

Psalm 130:1-8, Martyrdom 85, CM.

 1   Lord, from the depths to thee I cry'd.
 2        My voice, Lord, do thou hear:
     Un-to my sup-pli-ca-tion's voice
          give an at-tent-ive ear.

 3   Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord,
          should'st mark in-i-qui-ty?
 4   But yet with thee for-give-ness is,
          that fear'd thou may-est be.

 5   I wait for God, my soul doth wait,
          my hope is in his word.
 6   More than they that for morn-ing watch,
          my soul waits for the Lord;

     I say, more than they that do watch
          the morn-ing light to see.
 7   Let Is-ra-el hope in the Lord,
          for with him mer-cies be;

     And plen-te-ous re-demp-tion
          is ev-er found with him.
 8   And from all his in-i-qui-ties
          he Isr'el shall re-deem.

You probably noticed the pauses, or fermatas, that occur in each of these tunes.

This is the “birdseye” symbol that we see at the end of lines 1 and 3 in Coleshill.In Martyrdom they are placed at the end of lines 2 and 4.

We will pause, not quite as long as suggested by the MIDI playback.

Psalms : Lord's Day 07/08/2007 A.D.

Dear Congregation, Visitors and Friends,

This article is the first of what we hope to be a regular feature on this site, to announce the Psalms that are scheduled for the coming Lord's Day services. These installments will include hyperlinks to the tune MIDI files to facilitate learning and practice.

For this coming Lord's Day, D.V.

Psalm 32:1-5, St. Peter 125, CM.
Psalm 25(I):1-11, Franconia 163, SM.

Franconia is a short meter tune that is easy to learn. Since we are already very familiar with the tune St. Peter we will begin here with the closing Psalm. In stanza 5/verse 6, lines 2 and 4 each have an extra syllable; we add one beat to each of these lines to cover.

Psalm 25

A Psalm of David

Psalm 25(I):1-11, Franconia 163, SM.

  1    To thee I lift my soul:
  2          O Lord, I trust in thee:
       My God, let me not be asham'd,
             nor foes triumph o'er me.

  3    Let none that wait on thee
            be put to shame at all;
       But those that without cause transgress,
            let shame upon them fall.

  4    Shew me thy ways, O Lord;
            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.

Psalm 32

A Psalm of David, Maschil.

Psalm 32:1-11, St. Peter 125, CM.

  1    O blessed is the man to whom
            is freely pardoned
       All the transgression he hath done,
            whose sin is covered.

  2    Bless'd is the man to whom the Lord
            imputeth not his sin,
       And in whose sp'rit there is no guile,
            nor fraud is found therein.

  3    When as I did refrain my speech,
            and silent was my tongue,
       My bones then waxed old, because
            I roared all day long.

  4    For upon me both day and night
            thine hand did heavy lie,
       So that my moisture turned is
            in summer's drought thereby.

  5    I thereupon have unto thee
            my sin acknowledged,
       And likewise mine iniquity
            I have not covered:

       I will confess unto the Lord
            my trespasses, said I;
       And of my sin thou freely didst
            forgive th' iniquity.
