The Psalms Go High Tech

Internet Resources for the Study of the Book of Psalms

There are many websites devoted to the Book of Psalms.  Here are links to a few of these that I have found to be helpful.  (Caveat Lector!  I do not necessarily endorse the content on these websites, and I have not made a thorough check of what else might be found on them!)

Psalm Singing - Metrical Psalters and Tunes to Sing Psalms
www.cgmusic.com/workshop/psametre_frame.htm
Very cool!  Part of the above website, it uses frames to let you try out different tunes with various sets of words.  You first choose the Psalm you want, then select the version from a variety of Psalters/Prayer Books (mostly from the Reformed tradition), then select from a list of tunes that fit with that meter, and it plays the tune.
