Congregational Psalter: Collection 1
God's people have been singing the Psalms, individually and corporately, for over 3,000 years. Until the mid-1800s, the Book of Psalms, in various forms, was the Christian's primary hymnal. Since that time Psalm-singing has fallen into disfavor in the western churches. In the last decade God has granted to His people a slight increase in the desire to sing Psalms. Our congregation is one of those congregations that has a renewed zeal to sing God's praise using His own inspired words. To that end, we commissioned the compilation of a Psalter that would be both musically interesting and accessible to the average congregation.
What follows is a list of the psalms in that newly acquired Congregational Psalter, which we are gradually learning and incorporating into our meetings. Michael E. Owens, founder of The Genevan Psalter Resource Center, our friend and brother who compiled this Psalter for us, also sang 3-4 verses of each psalm in the collection to assist our learning. These recordings are listed here to make them easier for the congregation to access. If you click on the appropriate button, your default player should begin playing, but you may also feel free to download them by back-clicking, and "saving as" your desired location.
Michael Owens is also in the process of compiling the Congregational Psalter: Collection 2, and we are listing them on our site as they are completed. To access them, click here.
