The Church has been praying the Psalms, privately and corporately, since the very beginning. From the believers in Acts 4 praying Psalm 2, to early monastics reciting the entire Psalter every day, the Psalms infuse Orthodox worship through today. "Pray the Psalter" offers three ways to include the Psalms in daily prayer: - Pray the Psalms one-by-one - Pray the Daily Hours (Psalms assigned to different parts of the day) - Pray the designated 'kathismata' (or part of one) day-by-day Bookmark a Psalm to add a personal note, and tag Psalms to create custom lists. This psalter uses the text of the King James Version, edited to conform to the Septuagint. Holy Prophet David, intercede for us!
