The Psalm singing on this MP3 (digital download) covers Psalm 93:1-5, as sung to the tune Pembroke, from the 1650 Scottish Metrical Psalter.

1    The Lord doth reign, and cloth'd is he

          with majesty most bright;

      His works do shew him cloth'd to be,

          and girt about with might.

      The world is also stablished,

          that it cannot depart.

2    Thy throne is fix'd of old, and thou

          from everlasting art.

3    The floods, O Lord, have lifted up,

          they lifted up their voice;

      The floods have lifted up their waves,

          and made a mighty noise.

4    But yet the Lord, that is on high,

          is more of might by far

      Than noise of many waters is,

          or great sea-billows are.

5    Thy testimonies ev'ry one

          in faithfulness excel;

      And holiness for ever, Lord,

          thine house becometh well.

John Brown of Haddington's notes on Psalm 93 follow:

This psalm is a triumphant celebration of the government of Jehovah, and of Jesus our Redeemer, in (1.) The awfulness, strength, stability, and duration thereof, ver. 1-2. (2.) In his triumphant victories over all opposition, ver. 3-4. (3.) In the faithfulness and certainty of his words, and the holiness of his court, ver. 5.

While I sing, let my soul rejoice in the highness of my God, and in the glories of my Redeemer.
