Psalter Puns

I just responded to a question about hymns, referring to the Trinity Hymnal and Trinity Psalter Hymnal towards the end. This gave me the idea to ask y'all because you might know better than I do: where the heck are the Trinity Psalter Hymnals at???

My church uses them occasionally during service and I'd love to buy one for my own personal worship use. I have bought many books from Great Commission Publishing, but the TPH is out of stock and has no announced reprinting. I've checked Amazon, but they do not have any available, either. For a book that was released in recent times, I'm surprised how scarce it is. I have the app on my phone (which is very well made, I will admit) but I would much love a book to hold in my hands, so I don't get easily distracted by whatever is on my phone.

Does anyone know where I could get one (even one used, I would just rebind it) and what's the deal with its lack of availability? Is it because of the joint effort between the OPC and URCNA that made it difficult?

Hello,

I want to purchase a copy of the Psalter (Book of Psalms) in the Latin language. It must be of good book binding, so that it'll survive a lot of use. Can you recommend a copy which I can purchase on the internet?

I have been enjoying reading Classic short story Horror and as I come across stories that have left a lasting impression I will mention them here.

I found these stories back-to-back in a Horror anthology and, though completely different tales, I was not disappointed that they had been included together. Jean Ray (Raymundus Joannes de Kremer) was a Flemish writer and contemporary of H. P. Lovecraft. He is considered one of the preeminent members of what is sometimes called the Belgian School of the Weird and often thought of as the Poe, or Lovecraft, of the French language.

The Mainz Psalter was published in 1930. This story about the doomed crew of the sailing ship Mainz Psalter (see reference) could easily be part of the Lovecraft Cthulhu mythos. The tale is told by the dying captain of the Mainz Psalter after he is pulled out of the sea by the crew of the early steamship North Caper. The six-man crew of the Mainz Psalter is hired by the owner of the ship, a man known only as the schoolmaster. He agrees to pay the crew high wages to not ask questions about where the ship is headed and to pick him up at a particular meeting place once the ship is en-route. Mysterious deaths begin to take place once the crew reaches the meeting place and the strangeness and danger continues to mount once the schoolmaster with his mysterious cargo of strange books comes aboard and the voyage into an otherworldly place begins.

“’South of Cape Wrath,’ he went on, ‘there’s a sheltered little bay that’s known only to a few bold sailors, by a name that doesn’t appear on the map: Big Toe Bay.’ I looked at him in surprised admiration. ‘Do you know Big Toe?’ I said. 'That’s something that would make you respected by Customs, and would probably get you stabbed by certain men of the coast.' He made a gesture of indifference. ‘I’ll rejoin the ship at Big Toe Bay.’ ‘And from there?’ He indicated a precise westerly direction. ‘Hm, that’s a nasty place,’ I said, ‘a real desert of water strewn with sharp rocks. We won’t see many trails of smoke on the horizon.’ ‘You’re quite right,’ he said…’As long as you pay the way you’ve said,’ I replied, ‘I don’t care what you do.’ ‘I think you’re mistaken about my plans, Mr. Ballister. They’re of a rather...scientific nature, but I don’t want to have a discovery stolen from me by some envious rival…’”

The Shadowy Street was published in 1931. This is another story of mysteriou

Though I don't profess the Christian Faith myself, I have been attending Sabbath services at a local SDA Church for a few months now, in part to learn more about SDA beliefs, but also in part to sing the Bible.

However, for different theological reasons, I feel uncomfortable singing extra-scriptural hymns (and so will not sing along at church and am even losing interest in the Sabbath services as a result), but I feel quite comfortable reading and even praying the Psalms, enjoy the literary elegance of the KJV Bible, and would love to learn to chant the KJV Psalms to help me memorize them even if I must do so on my own.

Does anyone know where I can find a KJV Psalter for Gregorian Chant with modern musical notation, either in print or in an Android app?

Thank you!

Is there really that much of a difference between the Coverdale Psalter and the JKV? i was reading the two and their almost identical

I mean especially compared to say the NIV or RSV and KJV

I am a regular churchgoer, and want to develop my faith, starting with better knowledge of the Psalms. Can anyone recommend a good Psalter which would be suitable for daily devotional readings (preferably with a Kindle version)? And are there any recommendations for good books about the Psalms which would help me to understand them better?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I heard that there is supposed to be a new psalter edition published very soon by STS and SVOTS; does anyone know when/have any information on it?

So three questions -

1. Would restoring the imprecatory psalms within the psalter and not outside of it (like reading omitted verses within the psalm) make it not ~the prayer of the church~?

2. Would it be analogous to a priest adding something to the mass, which for actual liturgy would be a liturgical abuse?

3. I know as a lay person I'm pretty much free to do whatever I want prayer-wise, but would this be an issue if I ever entered into a role where I actually was obligated to pray the loth?

Thanks!

Does anyone know which translation / Psalter the Baltimore Manual of Prayer uses for its psalms or if it was its own thing? It seems extremely close to the Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision in a lot of places but then will vary drastically in others.

I’m thinking of getting one.

It only features morning, evening, and compline according to a 1928 Book of Common Prayer, correct?

Not sure if I should get hardcover or flexibound. Not sure the pros and cons of each format for this publication. Does the hardcover lay flat?

Are there any currently in print or a few years out of print? Got an ISBN?

For as important as it seemed to once be I feel like someone should be publishing it or do contemporary Anglicans have zero interest in it? It seems like I had a tough enough time finding a decent copy of the Books of Homilies.

I already use the 1650 Scottish metrical Psalter but I sure would like a copy of one with an Anglican heritage.

Does this exist, does anyone know of one?

- Current English, so no thee/thous
- Translated from the LXX or Vulgate (not the new Vulgate)
- Just a book of Psalms on it's own preferably, if it has some other Scripture attached that would be acceptable

I want it for prayer and memorizing. Thank you for any help!
