The Psalm singing on this MP3 (digital download) covers Psalm 95:1-6, as sung to the tune Irish from the 1650 Scottish Metrical Psalter.

1    O come, let us sing to the Lord:

          come, let us ev'ry one

      A joyful noise make to the Rock

          of our salvation.

2    Let us before his presence come

          with praise and thankful voice;

      Let us sing psalms to him with grace,

          and make a joyful noise.

3    For God, a great God, and great King,

          above all gods he is.

4    Depths of the earth are in his hand,

          the strength of hills is his.

5    To him the spacious sea belongs,

          for he the same did make;

      The dry land also from his hands

          its form at first did take.

6    O come, and let us worship him,

          let us bow down withal,

     And on our knees before the Lord

          our Maker let us fall.

John Brown of Haddington's notes on Psalm 95 follow:

This psalm contains, (1.) Solemn calls to celebrate the praises of Jesus and his Father, on account of what he had done, and what he is to us, and we to him, ver. 1-7. (2.) Alarming warnings, to hear his voice, and not to harden our hearts, as the Israelites in the desert, who on that account were debarred from the promised land, ver. 7-11.

While I sing, let me behold the glories of my Redeemer, and believe my new-covenant relation to him; and while it is yet called to-day, let me beware of being hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. And since there is a promise left me of entering into his rest, let me take heed, lest I should seem to come short of it, through unbelief.
