The Psalm singing on this MP3 (digital download) covers Psalm 92:12-15, as sung to the tune Orlington, from the 1650 Scottish Metrical Psalter.

12   But like the palm-tree flourishing

          shall be the righteous one;

      He shall like to the cedar grow

          that is in Lebanon.

13   Those that within the house of God

          are planted by his grace,

      They shall grow up, and flourish all

          in our God's holy place.

14   And in old age, when others fade,

          they fruit still forth shall bring;

      They shall be fat, and full of sap,

          and aye be flourishing;

15   To shew that upright is the Lord:

          he is a rock to me;

      And he from all unrighteousness

          is altogether free.

John Brown of Haddington's notes on Psalm 92 follow:

In this psalm or song for the sabbath day,, (1.) Praise, the business of the sabbath, is earnestly recommended, ver. 1-3. (2.) God's works (which are the reason of the sabbath and ground of praise) are celebrated, in their greatness, and unsearchableness, ver. 4-6. (3.) The ruin of sinners and the felicity of saints are beautifully contrasted. Sinners shall perish; but God, the portion and life of saints, shall endure for ever. Sinners, notwithstanding their temporary flourish, shall be cut off and destroyed; but saints shall be exalted and comforted. Sinners shall be confounded and ruined; but saints, through their union to, and fellowship with Christ, shall prosper and flourish, to the manifestation of God's faithfulness and equity, ver. 7-15.

While I keep the sabbath of the Lord my God, let these things deeply affect my heart; and be it my care, by a steady conversation and manifest growth in grace, to verify these precious promises of the New Testament in Jesus' blood.
