Our new Psalter fits liturgical worship well but, if one is not familiar with chanting, is much more difficult to use in family worship than, say, the 1650 Psalms of David in Metre or the Genevan Psalter. I'm sur we could do better, but won't hold my breath.Kirk Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142889734004402296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-59993473566859572102016-05-06T08:57:48.422-05:002016-05-06T08:57:48.422-05:00There is already an established order for praying ...There is already an established order for praying the psalms according to the Western Rite. I wonder why, when I was Lutheran, I was never told about this. I was always told to pray, but I didn't know how and my pastors were frankly useless in helping me in this endeavor. It wasn't until I became Orthodox that I realized that there was an order for praying the psalter. in the Orthodox tradition, the psalter is divided into 20 kathismata said or sung during the week at Vespers and Orthros so that the entire psalter was read in one week. During Lent, the psalter is also spread out for the hours so that the psalter is said in its entirety twice every week. The Western Rite order has psalms ordered for the calendar day, some in the morning some in the evening so that the entire psalter is sung or said in a month. Again, I never heard about this before I became orthodox. It is a darn shame that Lutherans really have only started producing prayer books and rules of prayer that have otherwise been forgotten or ignored.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07737698278079495810noreply@blogger.com
