Psalms

For Worship

Below are MP3 audio files of singing through Psalms from the Comprehensive Psalter (Blue Banner Books) to assist people with learning them for use in family worship and preparing for acapella psalmody worship on the Lord’s Day. These are not professionally recorded nor cleanly sung, but the hope is that they will help learn the tune so people can sing them on their own in a short time of practice. We are adding Psalms as we go through worship each week.

We encourage you to get the free app of the 1650 Scottish Psalter also to have the tunes available in full to be learned.  But because those tunes are played in four part harmonies by a piano, it is difficult for some to discern the melody and learn it and thus we present these "rough sketches" of singing only the melody to assist those who can't read music and want to learn the tunes to the words easily.

Singing Psalms acapella is the historic Biblical practice of the Old and New Testament Church continued by the early Church and recovered by the Protestant Reformation (often referred to as Purity of Worship).  It has always particularly been upheld by the Presbyterian Puritans, especially in Scotland, with whom we most identify.  God gave us His hymnal in the Scriptures in the Psalms, and we are most blessed to use what the LORD gave us to use to express ourselves to Him in personal, family, and corporate worship.  Please go to our "Duty and Practices Page" and scroll down to the section, "Purity of Worship" to learn more.
