• Notes: This beautiful piping tune, a favorite in Scotland, is often interpreted as a regal march for use at weddings and civic ceremonies. For the purposes of this psalm it should maintain a sense of solemnity, but rendered with sensitivity to the intimacy of the text. It should be sung as a folksong.
