Psalm 147:1-11 - Scottish Psalter 1650 (ACapella)

[peteryeng]

Beautifully done. Praise the Lord! I used the attend the free church when i was in scotland, and i think there is a great benefit here that most christians do not know.

[cheshirelizzy]

Where can I buy this song? I don't see it on iTunes, even in the Jason Coghill list.

Thank you for posting this. We sing Scottish Psalter 1650 songs in church, too. I love this voice.

[MrRunningwolfe]

I love it ! Thanks !

[aflame4God]

@MrRunningwolfe Wonderful and beautiful worship and singing !!

[45kernelspopcorn]

Providentially I came across this Psalm looking for Genevan Psalter music. Truly lovely. Will investigate tune "Thanksgiving."

[jbent777]

I can't seem to find who sings this. Jason Coghill seems to have a different version on the Peace and War CD. Help?

[SadronAphaderuiondur]

touched. i'm deeply touched. so many trues on the Lord!

[asuzette]

Thank you for sharing , such a great blessing.

[medievalman86]

if only my people would sing them :)

[charlotteprc]

@medievalman86 Gods people will sing them??? Makes you wonder?

[singthepsalms150]

Fantastic!! The singing is so clear! I love the Scottish Psalter! Please tell me - can this be purchased on CD?!!

I have some done by the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland, but the words are so clearly understood here!!! Please tell me this is available on CD? Whoever recorded this could be such a blessing to so many if he would record the whole Scottish Psalter and make the CDs available for purchase!

[gbolagun]

Beautiful rendition. Cheers for uploading.

[greatbar]

What tune is this one? My whole life I've grown up singing acapella psalms in church, but haven't heard this tune. It's nice.

[johnquik]

The tune is "Thanksgiving" i so glad you like it. God bless

[mimmar3891]

@greatbar What denomination are you? I grew up in the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, and the RPC is the only denomination I've ever heard of that sings acapella psalms. (Exclusively, anyway.) And this tune is in the RPC's Book of Psalms for Singing, but set to a different psalm than this one.

[hocanyang]

Which english translation of the Bible is this from? Thanks.

[johnquik]

This translation is called the Scottish Pslater 1650... This was presented to the Westminster Assembly and, after careful study and amendments by the three committees over a period of two months, was approved by the Assembly for use in public worship on 14 November 1645 (see Minutes, pp. 131, 163).

[johnquik]

The metrical version of the Psalms should be read or sung through at least once in the year. It is truly an admirable translation from the Hebrew (Robert Murray M'Cheyne)

[karenfeldman]

you can buy his new ablum direct from the site...Ministry of Psalms

[karenfeldman]

Jason Coghill has just a new CD called War and Peace...just search for Ministry of Psalms

[vonsiems1963]

I have this CD , had it for years now. I really enjoy it. I wonder what Jason has done recently?

[joeboiboi1]

[joeboiboi1]

[GraemeLongmuir]

WONDERFUL!!! This style of singing the psalms deserves a Renaissance. I'll point my Director of Music in this direction!

We sang Psalm 23 to "Orlington" yesterday and the congregation, choir and organ rose to the occasion.

Many thanks for this posting.

[walkenshaw2000]

Not familiar with Orlington. Is there somewhere on the net where it can be heard? Usually we use Crimond or Wiltshire for the 23 Psalm.

[charlotteprc]

@GraemeLongmuir I pray your Director my see this Great truth.

[helmuthoorn]

The Psalms are the best hyms for they derive straight form Gods Word itself.

[johnquik]

By expressing the emotional heights and depths in human response to God, the Psalms provide a permanent treasure for God's people to use to express their needs and their praises, both corporately and individually. Christ as representative man experienced our human condition, yet without sin, and so the Psalms become his prayers to God (see esp. Heb. 2:12; cf. Matt. 27:46 with Ps. 22:1). The Psalms are thus to be seen as his words, and through our union with him they become ours.

[treismac]

Wow... such a wonderful truth to ponder! Thanks John!

[charlotteprc]

@helmuthoorn  Amen

[ReformedLou]

Thank you for His words, so beautifully sung to His glory. He has up-bound many painful wounds through you, Gents. Thanks be to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

[johnquik]

The God who numbers and names all the stars in heavens knows about our broken hearts and can heal it - if only we give all the pieces to Him ! (Ps 147:3-4)
