The Complete Book of Psalms for Singing with Study Notes
Religious Music Christian Liturgy Worship Resources Presbyterian Hymnals Psalmody Sacred Choral Devotional Reference Australian Religious History
The Complete Book of Psalms for Singing with Study Notes is a scarce 1994 Australian hardcover that turns the entire 150-psalm Psalter into ready-to-sing metrical settings. Produced by the Presbyterian Church of Eastern Australia, this vintage 330-page treasury pairs each psalm with concise study notes, making it equal parts hymnal, reference work and devotional tool. Worship leaders, choir directors and families who want to reclaim the long-standing Reformed tradition of psalm-singing will find every psalm set to well-known hymn tunes, printed in clear four-part harmony and laid out for easy congregational use.
What sets this copy apart is its condition: a clean, tight and square hardcover that has escaped the heavy use these books normally endure. Only a single ownership inscription on the front end-paper keeps it from being near-fine; the pages are unmarked, the binding is sturdy and there are no dog-eared corners or foxing. As a 1994 Australian printing it is already hard to locate, and demand continues to rise among collectors of Presbyterian heritage, seminary students studying liturgical music, and home-school families who want an all-in-one psalm resource that blends scholarship with singability.
Collectors prize the 1994 first edition for its completeness—many later printings omitted the study notes—while church musicians value the edition’s compatibility with both traditional and modern instruments. Whether you are building a theological library, sourcing a durable pew edition or looking for a meaningful gift for a theology student, this copy delivers a complete Psalter, scholarly commentary and vintage Australian publishing history in one durable hardcover volume.
