Announcing : Psalms and Tunes Index


I have added a link to an ongoing index of Psalm passages that are associated with tunes. Sources to this index include Psalms that have been sung in worship by our congregation since the beginning of the blog, public Psalm sing selections, and selected recommendations from our Sing through the Psalms calendar.

Note that there is also a link under the heading "Psalms and Tunes" in the left-hand panel towards the top of this blog page.

This way if you want to look up a Psalm that may have been posted here previously, you can do so conveniently from this page.

Tune Categories, or Classifications


A new heading, "Tune Categories", has been added to the "left navigation" area of the page. Each link takes you to a list of tunes whose classification may be described by the word. As an example, try clicking on the word "Didactic" in the list to your left to see a list of tunes that might be appropriate for various didactic passages found in the Psalms.

We have adapted this classification idea from The Psalms in Metre (Oxford University Press, 1979), with some modifications: (a) The lists include tunes from The Scottish Psalmody, and (b) A tune may be listed in more than one category.

You will find these same links in each of the monthly Psalmody Calendars. If you do not know the recommended tune for the passage, you may be able to substitute a more familiar tune from within the same category. Remember that these categories are broad, and that classification is subjective. Very likely some tunes in the category seem more appropriate than others for the given passage.

Jeremiah Clarke


Jeremiah Clarke (c. 1673-1707) was an English baroque period composer as was his contemporary William Croft. A very familiar piece by Clarke is his trumpet voluntary. It also is believed that he wrote the melody and bass for the tunes including St. Magnus (Psalm 48, Psalm 96).

Other tunes in the Scottish Psalmody that bear the name Jeremiah Clarke as composer or contributor are Uffingham (SP 16, LM), Bishopthorpe (SP 34, CM), and Hermon (SP 74, CM). Hermon, with its combined plaintive and majestic characteristics, is a particularly good tune for singing the Scottish Metrical Psalm 57.

William Croft


William Croft was an English composer and church organist who lived from 1678-1727. He is credited with writing the melody for the tune Eatington (SP 54, CM), to which we sang Psalm 146:1-10 this past Lord's Day (01/20/2008 A.D.).

Croft also composed tunes for Psalms 136 and 148, and is the same Croft for whom the tune Croft's 136th (SP 185, 66.66.88) is named. He is also believed to have written the tune St. Matthew (SP 157, DCM). Certainly we are all familiar with St. Anne (SP 106, CM); perhaps his best-known tune.

More about William Croft can be found in this article on Wikipedia.

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


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.
