Psalm 107:1-7 (Scottish Psalter)

1 Praise God, for he is good: for still
his mercies lasting be.
2 Let God's redeemed say so, whom he
from th' en'my's hand did free;

3 And gathered them out of the lands,
from north, south, east, and west.
4 They strayed in desert's pathless way,
no city found to rest.

5 For thirst and hunger in them faints
6 their soul. When straits them press,
They cry unto the Lord, and he
them frees from their distress.

7 Them also in a way to walk
that right is he did guide,
That they might to a city go,
wherein they might abide.

Psalm 46:4–5

[4] There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
[5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns. (ESV)

PSALM 30 (Sing Psalms)

1 O LORD, I will exalt your name
for you have rescued me;
You did not let my foes rejoice
and gloat triumphantly.

2 LORD God, in need I cried to you
and you restored my health.
3 O LORD, you brought me from the grave
and saved my soul from death.

4 You holy ones, sing to the LORD;
sing out with joyful voice.
When you recall his holy name,
then praise him and rejoice.

5 His anger but a moment lasts;
life-long his favour stays.
Though tears may last throughout the night,
joy comes with morning’s rays.
