Trinity Psalter hymnal

This week our church got in, and used, the new Psalter Hymnal for the first time! I've been praying for awhile that the Lord would cause the church to value and appreciate the Psalms more. To see what a gift it is to sing his word back to him. My hope is that these new songbooks will "normalize" singing the Psalms....and in so doing that the church, as a whole, will treasure them more ❤ (just like the little Duke in picture number 2).

 "I have been accustomed to call this book, [The Psalms] I think not inappropriately, “An Anatomy of all the Parts of the Soul;” for there is not an emotion of which anyone can be conscious that is not here represented as in a mirror. Or rather, the Holy Spirit has here drawn to the life all the griefs, sorrows, fears, doubts, hopes, cares, perplexities, in short, all the distracting emotions with which the minds of men are wont to be agitated."
