Publishers' Note This Psalter contains fifty selections arranged for responsive reading. Brevity of selections has been made a special study, remembering that the congregation is expected to stand during the reading. With this important feature there has been earnest endeavor to combine completeness, so that each reading should impress one dominant thought. The selections vary in length to suit varying occasions. The familiar division of verses of the English Bible has been retained, and the majestic and euphonious language of the authorized version has been used without change. The verses to be read by the minister are printed in italics, and those to be read by the congregation in the more familiar Roman type. A few selections from the Prophets and from the New Testament have been added, as giving a wider range of religious thought, and helping to add fulness and completeness to the public worship of God.
