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.

Yours in Christ's service,
