Praying the Psalter

Resources on Praying the Psalter

Two excellent resources for understanding the spiritual importance of the Psalms are Christ in the Psalms by Father Patrick Reardon, and Father Wilbur’s podcast series on Ancient Faith radio: Let My Prayer Arise. Another wonderful, more recent book is Shield of Psalmic Prayer by Donald Sheehan.

Quarterly Psalter Readings

The Psalter is often called the Prayer Book of the Church. Indeed, Christ Himself prayed the Psalms frequently. The following arrangement allows you to read the Psalter quarterly, with morning and evening Psalms chosen where possible in the tradition of Orthodox worship. The Septuagint (LXX) numbering is used.  Psalms are chosen according to Orthodox liturgical usage in morning and evening services, where possible.
