These Psalms are all © Free Church of Scotland, Psalmody Committee.
I have taken the liberty of reproducing them here, while I dialogue with them about making their translations available on the internet.
I highly recommend buying their Sing Psalms Psalter: it's the Psalms put into verse, but it sticks closely to the original text, and therefore excellent if you are trying to teach people from the text.
PSALM 32 8 6 8 8 6
1 How blessed the one who has received
forgiveness for his sin!
2 Whose sins are covered from God’s face,
Whose debt is cancelled in God’s grace;
there’s no deceit in him.
3 When I kept silent, all my bones
with groaning were worn out.
4 Beneath your hand I felt entrapped
Both day and night; my strength was sapped
as in a summer drought.
5 Then I laid bare my sin to you,
the guilt that lay within.
I said, “O LORD, I have transgressed”—
And you forgave when I confessed;
you pardoned all my sin.
6 So let the godly pray to you
while you are to be found.
Surely when waves are sweeping past
And mighty waters rising fast,
you’ll keep them safe and sound.
7 You are my hiding-place, O LORD,
my true security.
You keep me safe in troubled days;
You circle me with joyful praise
when you have set me free.
8 I will instruct you by my word
and guide you in my way.
My counsel I will give to you;
My eye will keep your path in view
and watch you day by day.
9 Do not be like the horse or mule
which cannot understand;
They must be curbed and kept in check
As bit and bridle turn their neck,
to go where you command.
10 The wicked’s woes will much increase;
but those who trust the LORD
His cov’nant mercy will surround.
11 You righteous, let your joy abound
and praise the LORD your God.
PSALM 95 11 11 11 11
1 O come, let us joyfully sing to the LORD;
To the Rock of salvation let us raise our voice.
2 Let us come before him expressing our thanks;
Let us with loud singing praise him and rejoice.
3 The LORD is the great God, King over all gods.
4 The earth’s deepest places he holds in his hand;
The heights of the mountains belong to the LORD.
5 The oceans are his, and he formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow humbly and worship the LORD;
Let us kneel before him, our Maker, in prayer.
7 For we are his people and he is our God;
He shepherds and feeds us in his loving care.
Today if you hear and attend to his voice,
8 Don’t harden your hearts as you did on the way;
In Meribah’s desert you quarrelled with me,
You tested my patience at Massah that day.
9 Your fathers provoked me and tested me there,
Although they had witnessed the works I had done.
10 With that generation for forty long years
My deep indignation continued to burn.
I said, “They’re a people whose hearts go astray;
They do not acknowledge that my ways are best.”
11 And so, in my anger, I stated on oath,
“I swear that they never shall enter my rest.”
PSALM 105 11 11 11 11
1 Give thanks to the LORD God and call on his name;
His wonderful deeds to the nations proclaim.
2 Sing praises to him, and his exploits record;
3 Let all those who seek him rejoice in the LORD.
4 You chosen ones, look to the LORD and his might;
5 Seek ever his face, and his wonders recite,
His miracles too, and his judgments divine—
6 You children of Abraham, Jacob’s own line.
7 The LORD is our God, and he rules all the earth.
8 Rememb’ring his cov’nant—the word he set forth—
He vowed, for the ages to come, to make good
9 His promise to Abr’ham, to Isaac renewed.
10 To Jacob his sov’reign decree was made sure;
With Isr’el his cov’nant would always endure:
11 “To you I will give, as your portion to stand,
The country of Canaan, the beautiful land.”
12 When they were no more than a wandering few,
In number restricted, and foreigners too,
13 From nation to nation they travelled around;
Wherever they wandered, no rest could be found.
14 He would not permit that his folk be oppressed;
For his chosen ones’ sake mighty kings he addressed:
15 “Touch not my anointed—to me they belong;
Respect my own prophets and do them no wrong.”
16 The LORD called down famine upon the whole land;
Their food was destroyed at his sovereign command.
17 But he sent beforehand, his people to save,
His chosen one, Joseph, sold off as a slave.
18 His feet within shackles of bronze were confined,
His neck put in irons; for freedom he pined.
19 The word of the LORD was a test to be passed
Till what he foretold was accomplished at last.
20 The king sent an order to let him go free;
The ruler of nations gave him liberty.
21 He put him in charge of his house and his lands;
22 His princes and elders obeyed his commands.
23 Then Israel came down into Egypt to stay,
In Ham’s land to sojourn for many a day.
24 The LORD caused his people to prosper and grow,
And so they were seen as a threat to their foe.
25 He turned the Egyptians against Israèl,
And caused them to plot his own servants to kill.
26 Then Moses and Aaron, his chosen, he sent;
27 Performing his wonders, to Egypt they went.
28 Because the Egyptians despised his command,
He sent utter darkness to cover the land.
29 Their waters and rivers he turned into blood;
The fish of the Nile were destroyed by the LORD.
30 Their land teemed with frogs, which invaded their rooms;
31 At his word swarms of flies and of gnats filled their homes.
32 The rain became hail, and the lightning bolts flashed;
33 He struck down their vines, and their fig trees were smashed.
34 He spoke, and the locusts and grasshoppers came;
35 And every green thing was consumed as by flame.
36 And then he took vengeance on all the first-born—
The firstfruits of manhood of Egypt were gone.
37 He brought Isr’el out, bearing silver and gold;
Their tribes all marched forwards both steadfast and bold.
38 Then Egypt was joyful to see them depart,
For terror of them had laid hold of their heart.
39 He spread out a cloud to protect them from sight,
And fire to illumine the hours of the night.
40 They asked, and with quails were abundantly fed;
He filled them with manna, the heavenly bread.
41 He opened the rock to give waters to them,
And there in the desert it flowed like a stream—
42 Because he remembered the promise he swore
To Abr’ham his servant, long ages before.
43 He brought out his chosen ones, shouting with joy;
44 He granted to them without toil to enjoy
45 The lands of the nations—that they might regard
His laws and his precepts. All praise to the LORD!
PSALM 146 8 7 8 7
1 Praise the LORD, my soul! O praise him!
2 I’ll extol him all my days.
While I live, to God my Saviour
from my heart I will sing praise.
3 Do not put your trust in princes,
mortal men who cannot save.
4 All their plans will come to nothing
when they perish in the grave.
5 Blessèd is the one who truly
looks for help to Jacob’s God;
Blessèd is the one who places
all his hope upon the LORD—
6 He who made the earth and heaven
and the seas, with all their store;
He who keeps his every promise,
who is faithful evermore.
7 He delivers from oppression
and relieves the hungry’s plight.
He releases those in prison;
8 to the blind the LORD gives sight.
Those who are bowed down he raises.
God delights in righteousness.
9 He protects and cares for strangers,
widows and the fatherless.
He frustrates the wicked’s purpose.
10 So the LORD through endless days
Reigns to every generation.
Praise your God, O Zion, praise!
