Where would you recommend I go to buy a psalter? My main preferrances and criteria are:
- Uses the 1650 translation
- Looks beutifull
- Hardcover
- Likely to survive long-term use
- Sold online, ships internationally
- Relatively cheap for my other requirements
- Sold by a relatively well...
Considering some commentaries on 1Co14.15 and 1Co14.26 as Dickson and Gill Commentaries, does Exclusive Psalmody allows to sing other inspired musics from the bible?

Matthew Henry

Blessings to all this coming Lord's Day — I thought after this evening in listening to a sermon by Reverend Gavin Beers that I would share it, as I found it to be one of the best audio recorded sermons covering the entirety of the subject in such a short period of time. I also wanted to share...
This is a question that I was asked by a friend who is not completely on board with EP, but I don't have an answer and am curious myself. So this may be more for those who have a conviction of the EP position, but wouldn't mind hearing from anyone who might have valid input. So my question is...
Dear brothers,
I have translated the Catechism on Praise, by Alexander Blaikie, into Brazilian Portuguese. I have some questions regarding grammar and interpretation. I hope the PB members may aid me concerning the following questions.
There is very little Exclusive Psalmody material in...
Are you able to sing with David that God's “statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage”? – Ps. 119:54
In order that you may find as rich treasure and grace in singing the Lord’s psalms as David did, we have collected as many psalters online as we could. Previously we had around...
Just in time for the Lord's Day!
I am pleased to announce the general availability of the 1650 Psalter for iOS. It is a little behind Android right now as Apple takes longer to approve updates - days instead of hours. But if you snag it now you will probably get an update to the app around...
The full title is "The Psalms for Singing: A 21st Century Edition". It is hard to find information on this psalter, whether it be from its own website or others. I do not think a good review can be done without extensive use of the psalter and I just simply do not have the time to devote to this...
This psalter still has and will always have a solid place in my heart: I was first introduced to the singing of psalms using this psalter and many of the words will remain indelibly engraved in my mind. This psalter is available for purchase from Crown and Covenant Publications.

Like The Comprehensive Psalter the text of this psalter is from the 1650 Scots Metrical Version (SMV) so I will not review the text itself. It is available for purchase primariily from the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing).
Background
Aside from the history of the SMV, I do not know much...
Titled, The Complete Book of Psalms for Singing with Study Notes, this psalter is put out by the Presbyterian Church of Eastern Australia and was largely under the direction of Rowland Ward. Two distinct thoughts came to my mind as I looked through this psalter: first that it is apparent it is a...
Also known as the 1650 Psalter, the Psalms of David in Metre, and the Scottish Metrical Version (SMV). It is widely available both for free online and for sale in various formats (words-only or with music). Some recommended versions are The Comprehensive Psalter, if it can still be found, or The...
This psalter is still widely used, primarily in CRC and PRC circles as closely as I can gather. It has the prestige of being a joint effort of 9 denominations, according to its introductory note. In many respects it was an improvement over the lack of fluidity, but from my standpoint its...
This will be more of first impressions than a review and I will try to add more information later as I look deeper into the translation.
The entirety of the text is available in PDF or Word format from here. And I really appreciate them making it available for people to use freely. It is...
I wanted to share a set of sermons I've been working my way through. I think you will find this set of sermons very helpful whether you are new to EP, have questions about it, or are a seasoned psalms-only singer. You will probably be tempted to jump right to the objections - which they are...
Paul Washer - Worship Music can be Dangerous - YouTube
Brother Paul Washer on the dangers of contemporary worship. 1:50 minutes long. For those of you who were interested in his views on the RPW / EP, he expresses it at around 0:40.

Matthew Winzer, “Westminster and Worship Examined: A Review of Nick Needham’s essay on the Westminster Confession of Faith’s teaching concerning the regulative principle, the singing of psalms, and the use of musical instruments in the public worship of God.”

Dear Brothers,
I have been discussing this at
Deformation or Reformation?
I would like to know your thought on this here:
All the ordinary duties of worship are listed in WCF Ch 21:5 which include psalm singing. The only duty not listed here is prayer, which is a special duty that...
When Christians come together, song is often the result be it in congregational worship of God or in small fellowships. Christianity has a rich heritage of giving the world inspiring hymns. Another perhaps almost forgotten Christian heritage is exclusive psalmody, or the singing only of the...
Hi everyone. I've recently embraced exclusive Psalmody as the only consistently Biblical application of the regulative principle to our congregational singing. John Murray's thoughts on the issue clinched everything for me. Nevertheless, I'm a member of a church who embraces historic hymnody...
