| | In the synagogues the Psalms were chanted antiphonally, the congregation often repeating after every verse chanted by the precentor the first verse of the psalm in question. | | | Several of the psalms are acrostic or alphabetic in their arrangement, the succession of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet occurring in various positions—the beginning of every verse, every hemistich, or every couplet; in the last-mentioned case the letters may occur in pairs, i.e. | | | According to their contents, the Psalms may be grouped as follows: (1) hymns of praise, (2) elegies, and (3) didactic psalms. |

| | Introducing the Psalms |
| | Other types of psalms are: Salvation History psalms celebrating God's saving actions on behalf of His people (105-106), Songs of trust affirming God's faithfulness (23, 131), Wisdom psalms extolling the merits of the wise life (36, 73), and Liturgical psalms used in public ceremonies or services of worship (2, 50, 122). | | | The psalms were used by the Israelites in the context of worship to provide a structure in which they could bring their praises, thanks, hurts and grief honestly and openly before God. | | | Yet, it is better to understand the Psalter, not primarily in terms of individual authorship, but as the product of this community of faith who composed, collected and passed on their prayers, hymns, songs and liturgy as a witness to their experience as the people of God. |

| | The psalm may have been used at the Feast of the Dedication of the Temple, the Encaenia (John 10:22). | | | The Fathers are unanimous in interpreting many psalms as prophecies of the coming, kingdom, priesthood, passion, death, and resurrection of the Messias. | | | This feast was instituted by Judas Machabeus (1 Maccabees 4:59) to commemorate the rededication of the temple after its desecration by Antiochus. |

| | Singing the Psalms: A Brief History of Psalmody - by Richard C. Leonard, Ph.D., Laudemont Ministries |
| | Responsorial Psalm: A psalm, one verse of which is used as an introduction and refrain, with other verses interspersed (usually sung by a cantor). | | | But in many churches the distinction between psalms and hymns was retained in public worship, and congregations were sharply divided over the use of other than "close fitting" metrical psalms. | | | Psalm Paraphrase: A hymn based on a psalm or part of a psalm (different degrees of paraphrase). |

| | Psalms were used as texts for the new motet repertory evolved by Josquin and his contempories circa 1500. | | | By the time of Gregory I (circa 600), the Mass and Office had assumed a fixed shape and antiphonal psalmody (the chanting of a psalm alternately by two choirs) and responsorial psalmody (when the congregation responded to a psalm sung by a cantor) were institutionalized. | | | In the 16th century, Protestant churches encouraged congregational psalm singing by adopting metrical versions in the vernacular. |

| | Another type of psalm is similar to the hymn: the thanksgiving psalm. | | | This is shown by the frequent indication of liturgical leaders interacting with the community (e.g., Psalm 118:1-4). | | | Thus, the hymn is a song of praise, in which a community is urged joyfully to sing out the praise of God. |

| | The priests had a mournful muse as well as joyful ones; and the divine institution of singing psalms is thus largely intended; for we are directed not only to praise God, but to teach and admonish ourselves and one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, Col. 3:16. | | | There is no one book of scripture that is more helpful to the devotions of the saints than this, and it has been so in all ages of the church, ever since it was written and the several parts of it were delivered to the chief musician for the service of the church. | | | Our Lord Jesus expounded the psalms to his disciples, the gospel psalms, and opened their understandings (for he had the key of David) to understand them, Lu. |

| | Several psalms, especially 93-99, focus on the kingship of God; it is unclear how these might have been used ritually, and especially if they might reflect a Judean New Year festival, which had significant parallels to a Babylonian festival, in which the deity was ritually reinstated as king. | | | This desire to connect the psalms directly to the life of David is further shown in additional historical headings found in the Septuagint, the second-century BCE translation of the Bible, as well as in later Jewish exegesis. | | | Psalm 118.27, "The Lord is God, and he has given us light. |
