To my untutored reading eye (I know nothing of the Celtic languages) it appears that the psalms sung above are from this Scots Gaelic metrical psalter, on the website of St. Columba's Church of Scotland in Glasgow, where there is a Gaelic Psalm Singing School.
Update: As far as I can tell, the second tune above, MARTYRS, to which Psalm 79 is sung, is the same as PLAINTIVE MARTYRS, as found at the Cyberhymnal website. Note the much brisker pace of the latter.

Thanks for the link, Gregory. I notice that not every link works, e.g., Isaac Watts' psalter and the tunes at the right. Cgmusic did come back on briefly some weeks ago, but then it went back out again. I don't know what's going on. But the material on it is priceless.
