    Psalm 149 (Ayrshire CM)

    1 Praise ye the Lord: unto him singa new song, and his praiseIn the assembly of his saintsin sweet psalms do ye raise. 2 Let Isr’el in his Maker joy,and to him praises sing:Let all that Zion’s children arebe joyful in their King. 3 O let them unto his great namegive praises in the dance;Let them with timbrel and with harpin songs his praise advance. 4 For God doth pleasure take in thosethat his own people be;And he with his salvationthe meek will beautify. 5 And in his glory excellentlet all his saints rejoice:Let them to him upon their bedsaloud lift up their voice. 6 Let in their mouth aloft be raisedthe high praise of the Lord,And let them have in their right handa sharp two-edged sword; 7 To execute the vengeance dueupon the heathen all,And make deserved punishmentupon the people fall. 8 And ev’n with chains, as pris’ners, bindtheir kings that them command;Yea, and with iron fetters strong,the nobles of their land. 9 On them the judgment to performfound written in his word:This honor is to all his saints.O do ye praise the Lord.

    Psalm 148 Second Version (Millenium 66.66.88.)

    1 The Lord of heav’n confess,On high his glory raise.2 Him let all angels bless,Him all his armies praise.3 Him glorifySun, moon, and stars;4 Ye higher spheres,And cloudy sky. 5 From God your beings are,Him therefore famous make;You all created were,When he the word but spake.6 And from that place,Where fixed you beBy his decree,You cannot pass. 7 Praise God from earth below,Ye dragons, and ye deeps:8 Fire, hail, clouds, wind, and snow.Whom in command he keeps.9 Praise ye his name,Hills great and small,Trees low and tall;10 Beasts wild and tame; All things that creep or fly.11 Ye kings, ye vulgar throng,All princes mean or high;12 Both men and virgins young,Ev’n young and old,13 Exalt his name;For much his fameShould be extolled. O let God’s name be praisedAbove both earth and sky;14 For he his saints hath raised,And set their horn on high;Ev’n those that beOf Isr’el’s race,Near to his grace.The Lord praise ye.

    Psalm 145 Second Version (Rockingham LM)

    1 O Lord, thou art my God and King;Thee will I magnify and praise:I will thee bless, and gladly singUnto thy holy name always. 2 Each day I rise I will thee bless,And praise thy name time without end.3 Much to be praised, 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 honor of thy majesty; Thy wondrous works I will record.6 By men the might shall be extolledOf all thy dreadful acts, O Lord:And I thy greatness will unfold. 7 They utter shall abundantlyThe 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. 9 Good unto all men is the Lord:O’er all his works his mercy is.10 Thy works all praise to thee afford:Thy saints, O Lord, thy name shall bless. 11 The glory of thy kingdom showShall they, and of thy power tell:12 That so men’s sons his deeds may know,His kingdom’s grace that doth excel. 13 Thy kingdom hath none end at all,It doth through ages all remain.14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall,The cast-down raiseth up again. 15 The eyes of all things, Lord, attend,And on thee wait that here do live,And thou, in season due, dost sendSufficient food them to relieve. 16 Yea, thou thine hand dost open wide,And ev’ry thing dost satisfyThat lives, and doth on earth abide,Of thy great liberality. 17 The Lord is just in his ways all,And holy in his works each one.18 He’s near to all that on him call,Who call in truth on him alone. 19 God will the just desire fulfillOf such as do him fear and dread:Their cry regard, and hear he will,And save them in the time of need. 20 The Lord preserves all, more and less,That bear to him a loving heart:But workers all of wickednessDestroy will he, and clean subvert. 21 Therefore my mouth and lips I’ll frameTo speak the praises of the Lord:To magnify his holy nameFor ever let all flesh accord.

    Psalm 144 v. 9-15 (St Agnes CM)

    9 A new song I to thee will sing,Lord, on a psaltery;I on a ten-stringed instrumentwill praises sing to thee. 10 Ev’n he it is that unto kingssalvation doth send;Who his own servant David dothfrom hurtful sword defend. 11 O free me from strange children’s hand,whose mouth speaks vanity;And their right hand a right hand isthat works deceitfully. 12 That, as the plants, our sons may bein youth grown up that are;Our daughters like to corner-stones,carved like a palace fair. 13 That to afford all kind of storeour garners may be filled;That our sheep thousands, in our streetsten thousands they may yield. 14 That strong our oxen be for work,that no in-breaking be,Nor going out; and that our streetsmay from complaints be free. 15 Those people blessed are who bein such a case as this;Yea, blessed all those people are,whose God Jehovah is.

    Psalm 144 v. 1-8 (ArlingtonCM)

    1 O blessed ever be the Lord,who is my strength and might,Who doth instruct my hands to war,my fingers teach to fight. 2 My goodness, fortress, my high tow’r,deliverer, and shield,In whom I trust: who under memy people makes to yield. 3 Lord, what is man, that thou of himdost so much knowledge take?Or son of man, that thou of himso great account dost make? 4 Man is like vanity; his days,as shadows, pass away.5 Lord, bow thy heav’ns, come down,touch thou the hills, and smoke shall they. 6 Cast forth thy lightning, scatter them;thine arrows shoot, them rout.7 Thine hand send from above, me save;from great depths draw me out; And from the hand of children strange,8 Whose mouth speaks vanity;And their right hand is a right handthat works deceitfully.

    Psalm 143 Second Version (I Need Thee 6.6.6.6.D)

    1 Oh, hear my prayer, Lord,And unto my desireTo bow thine ear accord,I humbly thee require;And, in thy faithfulness,Unto me answer make,And, in thy righteousness,Upon me pity take. 2 In judgment enter notWith me thy servant poor;For why, this well I wot,No sinner can endureThe sight of thee, O God:If thou his deeds shalt try,He dare make none abodeHimself to justify. 3 Behold, the cruel foeMe persecutes with spite,My soul to overthrow:Yea, he my life down quiteUnto the ground hath smote,And made me dwell full lowIn darkness, as forgot,Or men dead long ago. 4 Therefore my sp’rit much vexed,O’erwhelmed is me within;My heart right sore perplexedAnd desolate hath been.5 Yet I do call to mindWhat ancient days record,Thy works of ev’ry kindI think upon, O Lord. 6 Lo, I do stretch my handsTo thee, my help alone;For thou well understandsAll my complaint and moan:My thirsting soul desires,And longeth after thee,As thirsty ground requiresWith rain refreshed to be. 7 Lord, let my pray’r prevail,To answer it make speed;For, lo, my sp’rit doth fail:Hide not thy face in need;Lest I be like to thoseThat do in darkness sit,Or him that downward goesInto the dreadful pit. 8 Because I trust in thee,O Lord, cause me to hearThy loving-kindness free,When morning doth appear:Cause me to know the wayWherein my path should be;For why, my soul on highI do lift up to thee. 9 From my fierce enemyIn safety do me guide,Because I flee to thee,Lord, that thou may’st me hide.10 My God alone art thou,Teach me thy righteousness:Thy Sp’rit’s good, lead me toThe land of uprightness. 11 O Lord, for thy name’s sake,Be pleased to quicken me;And, for thy truth, forth takeMy soul from misery.12 And of thy grace destroyMy foes, and put to shameAll who my soul annoy;For I thy servant am.

    Psalm 141 (Covenanters CM)

    1 O Lord, I unto thee do cry,do thou make haste to me,And give an ear unto my voice,when I cry unto thee. 2 As incense let my prayer bedirected in thine eyes;And the uplifting of my handsas th’ ev ‘ning sacrifice. 3 Set, Lord, a watch before my mouth,keep of my lips the door.4 My heart incline thou not untothe ills I should abhor, To practice wicked works with menthat work iniquity;And with their delicates my tastelet me not satisfy. 5 Let him that righteous is me smite,it shall a kindness be;Let him reprove, I shall it counta precious oil to me: Such smiting shall not break my head;for yet the time shall fall,When I in their calamitiesto God pray for them shall. 6 When as their judges down shall bein stony places cast,Then shall they hear my words; for theyshall sweet be to their taste. 7 About the grave’s devouring mouthour bones are scattered round,As wood which men do cut and cleavelies scattered on the ground. 8 But unto thee, O God the Lord,mine eyes uplifted be:My soul do not leave destitute;my trust is set on thee. 9 Lord, keep me safely from the snareswhich they for me prepare;And from the subtle gins of themthat wicked workers are. 10 Let workers of iniquityinto their own nets fall,Whilst I do, by thine help, escapethe danger of them all.

    Psalm 140 (Artaxerxes CM)

    1 Lord, from the ill and froward mangive me deliverance,And do thou safe preserve me fromthe man of violence: 2 Who in their heart mischievous thingsare meditating ever;And they for war assembled arecontinually together. 3 Much like unto a serpent’s tonguetheir tongues they sharp do make;And underneath their lips there liesthe poison of a snake. 4 Lord, keep me from the wicked’s hands,from vi’lent men me save;Who utterly to overthrowmy goings purposed have. 5 The proud for me a snare have hid,and cords; yea, they a netHave by the way-side for me spread;they gins for me have set. 6 I said unto the Lord, Thou artmy God: unto the cryOf all my supplications,Lord, do thine ear apply. 7 O God the Lord, who art the strengthof my salvation:A cov’ring in the day of warmy head thou hast put on. 8 Unto the wicked man, O Lord,his wishes do not grant;Nor further thou his ill device,lest they themselves should vaunt. 9 As for the head and chief of thoseabout that compass me,Ev’n by the mischief of their lipslet thou them cover’d be. 10 Let burning coals upon them fall,them throw in fiery flame,And in deep pits, that they no moremay rise out of the same. 11 Let not an evil speaker beon earth established:Mischief shall hunt the vi’lent man,till he be ruined. 12 I know God will th’ afflicted’s causemaintain, and poor men’s right.13 Surely the just shall praise thy name;th’ upright dwell in thy sight.
