The Scottish Psalter version.
7 Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,
I shall be cleansed so;
Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall
be whiter than the snow.
8 Of gladness and of joyfulness
make me to hear the voice;
That so these very bones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.
9 All mine iniquities blot out,
thy face hide from my sin.
10 Create a clean heart, Lord, renew
a right sp'rit me within.
11 Cast me not from thy sight, nor take
thy Holy Sp'rit away.
12 Restore me they salvation's joy;
with they free Sp'rit me stay.

The Scottish Psalter is a totally different world from the Genevan, but powerful in its own way. Real congregational singing may tend to be a bit unclear, not being rendered by professionals but sung by ordinary people as part of worship. But the mood of the psalm, and austerity of unaccompanied singing in the Calvinist tradition, communicate well beyond words.

Psalm 51...King David's plea to God for forgiveness for his broken life, lust and murder. Somber it should be.

Precioso! No me imagino cantar esto cuando estemos delante del Señor

@Aiglon10 Are you familiar with the context in which it was written? This was written as David came out of a period of 9 months of severe backsliding in which he committed adultery with a married woman and then arranged the death of her husband and had a child with this woman. A prophet was sent to rebuke him and he was severely convicted of his immense sin in God's sight. So the Psalm is all about deep pleas for forgiveness and for the joy of salvation to be restored to him.

Wonderful psalm of repentance and forgiveness....

@Moireach91 12 лет назад

@Aiglon10 As for the Roman ordinances you mention, whilst true repentance from sin and towards Christ is always to be commended, I would argue the Bible does not prescribe a period where this is to be given more focus than another part of the year and so that Lent is not a Biblical ordinance. My knowledge of the word 'penitence' is that is carries with it a self invoked suffering. I know this has been the case in the past, perhaps today not so much, in any case the Bible urges repentance only.

@Aiglon10 I'm surprised you find the words impossible to understand. Do you mean language or content? The image of the purging with hyssop is not one we are familiar with today, but it is often referred to in scripture as being used to clean unclean people (lepers) with sprinkling and some similar variations, so it means forgive me essentially. Christ's righteousness makes us whiter than the snow of course. The rest is pretty self-explanatory I think.Pleas for forgiveness and joy to be restored.

Absolutely beautiful. Incredibly inspiring and yet suitably humbling at the same time. Thank you for that.

@LauraBethEliza 13 лет назад

This is so plaintive sounding; I love it. I have a CD where it's sung to the same tune, but not quite so slow, and I'm not sure which is my favorite now!

@ancient_music 5 месяцев назад

I'm absolutely in love with this. Does this particular congregation have more recordings? Is there a resource with a collection of these melodies with the sheet music for 1 part chanting?

@maggijude 13 лет назад

Really nice change from the Allegri Miserere mei Deus now we are more into Lent. The Metrical Psalms are so accessible and singable - which was the whole idea of course.

@Aiglon10 12 лет назад

@Moireach91 Compared to the version sung by the choir of Westminster Abbey I found the text impossible to hear. Is it sung in Latin, English or Gaelic? The Bible does not prescribe any liturgy -- the Church gradually developed the season before Easter (Lent means Spring) based on the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness after his baptism. The focus of Lent is on repentance - the message of John the Baptist and Jesus, who criticized public penance. No disagreement on that!.

@Moireach91 12 лет назад

@Aiglon10 Ah I see. This was just recorded in an actual congregation whereas the one you speak of is properly recorded and sung to be recorded. Check out freechurchofscotland on RU-vid to find a clearer version of the same Psalm and tune.

@Aiglon10 12 лет назад

This is a very moving melody -- but the words are impossible to understand. Psalm 51 is prescribed as the invitatory psalm following the exhortation to a holy Lent and preceding the Litany of Penitence in the Proper Liturgy for Ash Wednesday. It is purposely somber, but the sense of the psalm is very hopeful, which might be easier to grasp if the words were clearer.

@maggijude 'Lent' a papish festival. Repentance all the time. Better to go into a house of mourning ... the house of repentance than into the house of feasting ... where the world is over-appreciated !

@esserman1603 3 месяца назад

Just because the Catholics do something does not mean that it is wrong. For example, Catholics build hospitals, which certainly is not wrong.

Not.

Christ appointed Peter as head of his Church, his blessed wife. Peter set up his Church in Rome, which we now call the Catholic Church. The Pope today is currently in Peter's position. When Martin Luther therefore divorced from the church he was commiting a true blasphemy.
