There has been a resurgence in the singing of psalms in church congregations. Currently, however, there are only old-fashioned metrical versions and modern paraphrases available for churches other than the Catholic. This new book uses the system whereby the congregation sing a standard response to a solo line from a cantor or soloist. Both the congregation's and the soloist's text appears, and there is also an appendix with the responses alone, which can be freely copied. The 104 psalms chosen match those in the ASB lectionary and the same texts are used.
