The Psalter

Psalm singing has been an essential part of Reformed Worship since the time of the Reformation.

The following  is an ongoing project to place the entire Psalter on the internet with hopes that it will increase the interest in Psalm Singing in worship, which can serve as a means to unify the Church of Jesus Christ. This version of the Psalter (Word97 doc  HTML doc            ) was published in 1927 and is currently being used in the worship services of the Protestant Reformed Churches in America (PRC). The piano accompaniment (PA) is from "The Psalter-Accompaniment for Singing", produced by Deborah A.Benson, with pianist: Mary A. Haak. Many of these psalter numbers have  been recorded by the Protestant Reformed Psalm Singing Choir under  "Fitting Praises", Vol 1-5, which are also on this website. You can hear these renditions by going to the appropriate "Fitting Praises" link.

The Psalter can be purchased from the Protestant Reformed Seminary. The price is $9.00 plus S/H. If you have a copy of the Psalter and wish to play the tunes, simply open RealAudo and go to "File..Open" and type the following:  http://rsglh.org/Psalter1ps1pa.rm (example) , changing the Psalter# and Psalm# accordingly as you go through the Psalter. All tunes will end in: pa.rm.
