¶ When singing a psalm, the word 'blessed' is to be pronounced as two syllables: 'bless - ed'. Where spelled 'blest', the word is pronounced as one syllable.
¶ A double forward slash // marks the mid-point in each psalm verse where, traditionally, a pause is observed.
¶ A single forward slash / marks a bar-line of the chant. A dot · indicates the mid point of the bar, and the chord changes after the dot. Chord changes in words of more than one syllable are indicated by a dash.
¶ For those traditions which omit the word 'Alleluia' during penitential seasons, we have provided an alternative: 'Praise the Lord'.
¶ A verse printed in bold should be sung in unison.
¶ Each psalm or group of psalms may end with
Glory
to the Father and / to the / Son //
and
/ to the / Holy / Spirit;
as
it was in the be/ginning is / now //
and
shall be for / ever. / A/men.

1 In Judah / God is / known; //
his / name is / great in / Israel.
2 At Salem / is his / tabernacle, //
and his / dwelling / place in / Zion.
3 There broke he the flashing / arrows · of the / bow, //
the shield, the / sword · and the / weapons of / war.
4 In the light of splendour / you ap/peared, //
glorious / from the e/ternal / mountains.
5 The boastful were plundered; they have / slept their / sleep; //
none of the / warriors can / lift their / hand.
6 At your rebuke, O / God of / Jacob, //
both / horse and / chariot fell / stunned.
7 Terrible are / you in / majesty: //
who can stand before your / face when / you are / angry?
8 You caused your judgement to be / heard from / heaven; //
the earth / trembled / and was / still,
9 When God a/rose to / judgement, //
to / save · all the / meek upon / earth.
10 You crushed the / wrath of the / peoples //
and / bridled the / wrathful / remnant.
11 Make a vow to the Lord your / God and / keep it; //
let all who are round about him bring gifts
to him that is / worthy / to be / feared.
12 He breaks down the / spirit of / princes //
and strikes / terror · in the / kings of the / earth.

1 I cry a/loud to / God; //
I cry aloud to / God and / he will / hear me.
2 In the day of my trouble I have / sought the / Lord; //
by night my hand is stretched out and does not tire;
my / soul re/fuses / comfort.
3 I think upon God / and I / groan; //
I ponder, / and my / spirit / faints.
4 You will not let my / eyelids / close; //
I am so troubled / that I / cannot / speak.
5 I consider the / days of / old; //
I re/member the / years long / past;
6 I commune with my / heart · in the / night; //
my spirit / searches for / under/standing.
7 Will the Lord cast us / off for / ever? //
Will he / no more / show us his / favour?
8 Has his loving mercy clean / gone for / ever? //
Has his promise come to an / end for / ever/more?
9 Has God for/gotten · to be / gracious? //
Has he shut up his com/passion / in dis/pleasure?
10 And I said, 'My / grief is / this: //
that the right hand of the Most / High has / lost its / strength.'
11 I will remember the / works of the / Lord //
and call to mind your / wonders of / old / time.
12 I will meditate on / all your / works //
and / ponder your / mighty / deeds.
13 Your way, O / God, is / holy; //
who is so / great a / god as / our God?
14 You are the / God who worked / wonders //
and declared your / power a/mong the / peoples.
15 With a mighty arm you re/deemed your / people, //
the / children of / Jacob and / Joseph.
16 The waters saw you, O God;
the waters saw you and / were a/fraid; //
the / depths / also were / troubled.
17 The clouds poured out water; the / skies / thundered; //
your arrows / flashed on / every / side;
18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
your lightnings / lit up the / ground; //
the / earth / trembled and / shook.
19 Your way was in the sea, and your paths in the / great / waters, //
but your / footsteps / were not / known.
20 You led your / people like / sheep //
by the / hand of / Moses and / Aaron.

1 Hear my teaching, / O my / people; //
incline your / ears · to the / words of my / mouth.
2 I will open my / mouth · in a / parable; //
I will pour forth / mysteries / from of / old,
3 Such as we have / heard and / known, //
which our / forebears / have / told us. [ which / our fore/bears have / told us.]
4 We will not hide from their children,
but will recount to gene/rations to / come, //
the praises of the Lord and his power
and the / wonderful / works · he has / done.
5 He laid a solemn charge on Jacob
and made it a / law in / Israel, //
which he com/manded them to / teach their / children,
6 That the generations to come might know,
and the children / yet un/born, //
that they in turn might / tell it / to their / children;
7 So that they might put their / trust in / God //
and not forget the deeds of / God,
but / keep · his com/mandments,
8 And not be like their forebears,
a stubborn and rebellious / gene/ration, //
a generation whose heart was not steadfast,
and whose spirit / was not / faithful to / God.
9 The people of Ephraim, / armed · with the / bow, //
turned / back · in the / day of / battle;
10 They did not keep the / covenant of / God //
and re/fused to / walk in his / law;
11 They forgot what / he had / done //
and the / wonders / he had / shown them.
12 For he did marvellous things in the / sight of their / forebears, //
in the land of Egypt, / in the / field of / Zoan.
13 He divided the sea and / let them pass / through; //
he made the / waters stand / still · in a / heap.
14 He led them with a / cloud by / day //
and all the night / through · with a / blaze of / fire.
15 He split the hard / rocks · in the / wilderness //
and gave them drink as / from the / great / deep.
16 He brought streams / out of the / rock //
and made / water gush / out like / rivers.
17 Yet for all this they sinned / more a/gainst him //
and defied the Most / High / in the / wilderness.
18 They tested / God · in their / hearts //
and de/manded / food · for their / craving.
19 They spoke against / God and / said, //
'Can God prepare a / table / in the / wilderness?
20 'He struck the rock indeed, so that the waters gushed out
and the streams / over/flowed, //
but can he give bread or provide / meat / for his / people?' [ ... pro/vide meat / for his / people.]
21 When the Lord heard this, he was / full of / wrath; //
a fire was kindled against Jacob
and his / anger went / out against / Israel,
22 For they had no / faith in / God //
and put no / trust in his / saving / help.
23 So he commanded the / clouds a/bove //
and / opened the / doors of / heaven.
24 He rained down upon them / manna to / eat //
and / gave them the / grain of / heaven.
25 So mortals ate the / bread of / angels; //
he / sent them / food in / plenty.
26 He caused the east wind to / blow · in the / heavens //
and led out the / south wind / by his / might.
27 He rained flesh upon them as / thick as / dust //
and winged fowl / like the / sand of the / sea.
28 He let it fall in the / midst of their / camp //
and / round a/bout their / tents.
29
for he / gave them what / they de/sired.
30 But they did not / stop their / craving; //
their / food was / still in their / mouths,
31 When the anger of God / rose a/gainst them, //
and slew their strongest men
and / felled the / flower of / Israel.
32 But for all this, they / sinned yet / more //
and put no / faith in his / wonderful / works.
33 So he brought their days to an end / like a / breath //
and their / years in / sudden / terror.
34 Whenever he slew them, / they would / seek him; //
they would repent and / earnestly / search for / God.
35 They remembered that / God · was their / rock //
and the / Most High / God · their re/deemer.
36 Yet they did but flatter him / with their / mouth //
and dis/sembled / with their / tongue.
37 Their heart was not / steadfast to/wards him, //
neither were they / faithful / to his / covenant.
38 But he was so merciful that he forgave their misdeeds
and did / not des/troy them; // [ ... misdeeds / and · did not des/troy them.]
many a time he turned back his wrath
and did not suffer his whole dis/pleasure / to be / roused.
39 For he remembered that they / were but / flesh, //
a wind that passes / by and / does not re/turn.
40 How often they rebelled against him / in the / wilderness //
and / grieved him / in the / desert!
41 Again and again they / tempted / God //
and provoked the / Holy / One of / Israel.
42 They did not re/member his / power //
in the day when he re/deemed them / from the / enemy;
43 How he had wrought his / signs in / Egypt //
and his / wonders · in the / field of / Zoan.
44 He turned their / rivers · into / blood, //
so that they / could not / drink of their / streams.
45 He sent swarms of flies among them, / which de/voured them, //
and / frogs which / brought them / ruin.
46 He gave their / produce · to the / caterpillar, //
the / fruit of their / toil · to the / locust.
47 He destroyed their / vines with / hailstones //
and their / sycamore / trees · with the / frost.
48 He delivered their / cattle to / hailstones //
and their / flocks / -- to / thunderbolts.
49 He set loose on them his / blazing / anger: //
fury, displeasure and trouble,
a / troop of des/troying / angels.
50 He made a way for his anger
and spared not their / souls from / death, //
but gave their life / over / to the / pestilence.
51 He smote the / firstborn of / Egypt, //
the first fruits of their / strength · in the / tents of / Ham.
52 But he led out his / people like / sheep //
and guided them in the / wilderness / like a / flock.
53 He led them to safety and they were / not a/fraid, //
but the / sea · over/whelmed their / enemies.
54 He brought them to his / holy / place, //
the mountain which his / right hand / took · in pos/session.
55 He drove out the nations before them
and shared out to them / their in/heritance; //
he settled the tribes of / Israel / in their / tents.
56 Yet still they tested God Most High
and re/belled a/gainst him, //
and / would not / keep his com/mandments.
57 They turned back and fell away / like their / forebears, //
starting aside / like an un/strung / bow.
58
and provoked him to dis/pleasure / with their / idols.
59 God heard and was / greatly / angered, //
and / utterly re/jected / Israel.
60 He forsook the / tabernacle at / Shiloh, //
the / tent · of his / presence on / earth.
61 He gave the ark of his strength / into cap/tivity, //
his splendour / into the / adver·sary's / hand.
62 He delivered his / people · to the / sword //
and / raged a/gainst his in/heritance.
63 The fire con/sumed their young / men; //
there was / no one · to la/ment their / maidens.
64 Their priests / fell · by the / sword, //
and their / widows made / no · lamen/tation.
65 Then the Lord woke as / out of / sleep, //
like a warrior who had been / over/come with / wine.
66 He struck his enemies / from be/hind //
and put them / to per/petual / shame.
67 He rejected the / tent of / Joseph //
and chose / not the / tribe of / Ephraim, [ and / chose not the / tribe of / Ephraim.]
68 But he chose the / tribe of / Judah // [ But he / chose · the tribe of / Judah ]
and the hill of / Zion, / which he / loved.
69 And there he built his sanctuary like the / heights of / heaven, //
like the / earth · which he / founded for / ever.
70 He chose David / also, his / servant, //
and / took him a/way · from the / sheepfolds.
71 From following the ewes with their / lambs he / took him, //
that he might shepherd Jacob his people
and / Israel / his in/heritance.
72 So he shepherded them with a de/voted / heart //
and with / skilful / hands he / guided them.

1 O God, the heathen have come / into your / heritage; //
your holy temple have they defiled
and made Je/rusalem a / heap of / stones.
2 The dead bodies of your servants they have given
to be food for the / birds of the / air, //
and the flesh of your / faithful · to the / beasts of the / field.
3 Their blood have they shed like water
on every / side of Je/rusalem, //
and / there was / no one to / bury them.
4 We have become the / taunt of our / neighbours, //
the scorn and derision of / those that are / round a/bout us.
5 Lord, how long will you be / angry, for / ever? //
How long will your jealous / fury / blaze like / fire?
6 Pour out your wrath upon the nations that / have not / known you, //
and upon the kingdoms that have not / called up/on your / name.
7 For they have de/voured / Jacob //
and / laid / waste his / dwelling place. [ and / laid waste · his / dwelling / place. (?) ]
8 Remember not against us our / former / sins; //

5 O Lord / God of / hosts, //
how long will you be / angry · at your / people's / prayer?
6 You feed them with the / bread of / tears; //

9 You brought a / vine · out of / Egypt; //

6 I heard a voice I did not / know, that / said: //
'I eased their shoulder from the burden;
their hands were set / free from / bearing the / load.
7 'You called upon me in trouble and / I de/livered you; //
I answered you from the secret place of thunder

11 But my people would not / hear my / voice //
