Recordings from the Scottish Psalter, Book 1, Psalms 1-41

Here is a list of psalm recordings from the first book of the psalms, i.e. psalms 1-41.

These recordings are all from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650, are sung a cappella, and are free to download.

For more recordings, and for more information about the people who created these recordings, click here.

In order from left to right, we have: the psalm, the tune, and the people/group singing.  Click on the psalm to be taken to the hosting site where you can listen and/or download the recording.

I've put an "R" next to the tunes that repeat a line, since I know that not everyone appreciates those (as my brother says, "If that line was meant to be repeated, it would be repeated in the Bible.").

The quality of these may vary.

Where there are multiple recordings per psalm or section of a psalm, I've tried to pick out my favorites to include in the playlist I listen to regularly.  The recordings in my playlist are marked with an asterisk *.
