Congregational Psalm-singing: Sternhold & Hopkins
We long for the day when the Psalms will be sung by congregations again. This Psalter had substantial support and was widely sung in the Anglican Churches of Elizabeth the First's time. If I were not retired and was back in pastoral work, I'd be introducing this. It would take 20-30 years of practice to instill this, generationally. Why would any Pastor or--as they are called--"worship leader" oppose Psalm-singing?

Originally published by John Day of London in 1562. Sternhold and Hopkins was the first complete English language version of the Psalms. It remained the standard version in England for almost two hundred years.
The Sternhold and Hopkins Psalter actually had its beginning about 14 years before it was published in its final form. The exact date is not known for certain, but 1548 is generally accepted as the year when Thomas Sternhold published his first collection of 19 Psalms (Ps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 20, 25, 27, 29, 32, 33, 41, 49, 73, 78, 103, 120, 122, and 138)1 This collection was dedicated to King Edward VI and was titled "Certayne PSALMES chose out of the PSALTER OF DAVID, and drawe into English metre, by Thomas Sternhold grome of Ye Kynges Maiesties roobes." Sternhold had expressed his intent to versify more of the Psalms, but he died shortly after the first edition was published.
In 1549 a posthumus edition of Sternhold's Psalms was published, this time containing 37 Psalms by Sternhold and an additional seven by John Hopkins. This edition was titled "Al suche Psalmes of DAVID as Thomas Sternholde, late grome of ye Kinges Maiesties Robes didde in hys lyfe tyme draw into English metre."
When Mary became Queen in 1553, many Protestants fled to Geneva where they came into contact with John Calvin and the French tradition Psalms and music. The refugees brought Sternhold's Psalms with them, although it would appear that John Hopkins did not join them there because we do not see any new Psalms by him in any of the Geneva editions. The four Geneva editions all contained Sternhold and Hopkins original 44 Psalms.
The first Genevan edition appeared in 1556. It contained a total of 51 Psalms, consisting of Sternhold's original 37, Hopkins original seven and an additional seven by William Whittingham. (Ps. 23, 51, 114, 115, 130, 133, 137)1 This edition was the first to be published with music.
A second Genevan edition was published in 1558 which contained 62 Psalms. Nine of the new Psalms were by Whittingham and the other two were by his friend John Pullain. The 1560 edition contained three additional Psalms.
There was one further edition published in Geneva in 1561 but it had a much greater influence on the Scottish Psalter than on the English one we are considering here. The 1561 edition saw an additional 25 Psalms, all by William Kethe. Many of these were dropped in favor of other versions in the later English editions. We will rejoin the Geneva Psalters in the story of the Scottish Psalter of 1635.
Millar Patrick reports that John Daye printed an English Psalter as early as 1559, but that it was never released. Daye did publish a Psalter based on the Genevan work in 1560 that was very similar to the 1560 Genevan Psalter, then he published a second edition in 1561 which contained a total of 87 Psalms. This version had begun to drop some of the Genevan additions to Sternhold and Hopkins original work.
Daye published the first complete English Psalter in 1562. This version dropped twenty-three of the fourty-three Psalms that had been added in Geneva. It contained eighty-six new Psalms, mostly by John Hopkins, but it also included four new Psalms by Sternhold, which were apparently discovered after his death.
Daye's 1562 edition remained in use in England, with only a few changes, until well into the nineteenth century. The Sternhold and Hopkins version was brought to the American colonies and saw considerable use there. According to "American Hymns, Old and New" it was used extensively in the American south until the close of the eighteenth century. Even after the New Version (Brady and Tate) appeared in 1696, Sternhold and Hopkins continued to be printed and reprinted through more than six-hundred editions. The final edition was printed in 1828, two hundred and sixty-six years after the first edition.
This Psalter initially used many tunes from the earlier Anglo-Genevan Psalters as well as many tunes from English sources, including a few popular ballads that were adopted for use with the Psalms. The idea, as is implied in the wording of the title page, was to encourage people to sing Godly songs instead of the worldly lyrics of popular ballads.
We have a growing collection of samples of the music to which this Psalter was originally sung included with our selections from The Scottish Psalter of 1635. For an explanation of the music itself, see "About the Music" in our history of the 1635 Psalter.
When first published this Psalter was most often referred to as "Day's Psalter" (after the name of the publisher), or as "Sternhold and Hopkins" (after its two main contributors). When Tate and Brady published their A New Version of the Psalms of David in 1696, this version began to be called "The Old Version." Today it is most often referred to as The Old Version, or as Sternhold and Hopkins.

"Psalms for all Seasons"

| Although we cannot keep up with the newer developments (in terms of music), it is wonderful to behold younger Churchmen and Churchwomen embracing and advancing the recovery of Psalm-singing. We'll let John Frame suggest otherwise and stick with Dr. Scott Clark who argues for its recovery. |

Psalm-singing and the 1662 Book of Common Prayer
1. As a regular user of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, recognizing a few faults therewith, we find it most wholesome, useful, godly, pious, and reformatory.
2. We believe that the recovery of the singing of the Psalms for Mattins and Evensong, daily, is most imperative. We cannot recommend too highly the Psalter-set, pricey though it be, from St. Paul's Protestant (Anglican) Cathedral, London. We speak from "experience" with the Psalms--powerful!
3. This is not to minimize the OT or NT lections, although the lectionary needs revision to put out the readings from the Apocrypha.

The Anglican Psalter: The Psalms of David (Edited By: John Scott, St. Paul's Protestant Cathedral, London)

The Anglican Psalter: The Psalms of David
Edited By: John Scott
Westminster John Knox Press / 2009 / Paperback
Product Description
Scott, one of the world's leading organists and choir masters, served as director of music at St. Paul's Protestant Cathedral (Anglican) for 14 years. He pairs the best Anglican chant with biblical texts that have been sung to God's glory in the temple, synagogue, and church for 3,000 years. Works by Elgar, Parry, Stanford, Wesley, and more. 352 pages, softcover. Canterbury Press.
We note that John Scott also produced the Psalter-set from St. Paul's Protestant Cathedral, London, a pricey but most useful CD-set on the entire Psalter. The cost is roughly $130 plus P & H, but the daily use of Mattins and Evensong from the classical 1662 BCP make it essential for the disciplined Reformed, Protestant and Anglican Churchman. One has to make their own way in this Babylonian Captivity of American Anglicanism.

BLESSED is he that considereth the Ë¡ poor and Ë¡ needy : the Lord shall deliver him Ë¡ in the Ë¡ time of Ë¡ trouble.
2. The Lord preserve him, and keep him alive, that he may be Ë¡ blessed upon Ë¡ earth : and deliver not thou him Ë¡ into the Ë¡ will of his Ë¡ enemies.
3. The Lord comfort him, when he lieth sick upˡon his ˡ bed : make thou ˡ all his ˡ bed in his ˡ sickness.
4. I said, Lord, be merciful ˡ unto ˡ me : heal my soul, for ˡ I have ˡ sinned aˡgainst thee.
5. Mine enemies speak Ë¡ evil Ë¡ of me : When shall he die, Ë¡ and his Ë¡ name Ë¡ perish?
6. And if he come to see me, he Ë¡ speaketh Ë¡ vanity : and his heart conceiveth falsehood within himself, and when he Ë¡ cometh Ë¡ forth he Ë¡ telleth it.
7. All mine enemies whisper toˡgether aˡgainst me : even against me do ˡ they imˡagine this ˡ evil.
8. Let the sentence of guiltiness proˡceed aˡgainst him : and now that he lieth, ˡ let him rise ˡ up no ˡ more.
9. Yea, even mine own familiar friend, Ë¡ whom I Ë¡ trusted : who did also eat of my bread, hath Ë¡ laid great Ë¡ wait for Ë¡ me.
10. But be thou merciful unto ˡ me, O ˡ Lord : raise thou me up again, ˡ and I ˡ shall reˡward them.
11. By this I know thou ˡ favourest ˡ me : that mine enemy ˡ doth not ˡ triumph aˡgainst me.
12. And when I am in my health, ˡ thou upˡholdest me : and shalt set me beˡfore thy ˡ face for ˡ ever.

Glory be to the Father, and Ë¡ to the Ë¡ Son : and Ë¡ to the Ë¡ Holy Ë¡ Ghost;

Psalms Box Set : The Shop at St Paul's Cathedral Online
This Psalm-set by St. Paul's Cathedral, London, is worth every cent on the dollar. It forms an excellent companion to daily use of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. This scribe has downloaded the CD's to the laptop and has been accessed in airports, restaurants, and other places when travelling these last several months. Although pricey (for some perhaps), it is an excellent investment. Away with American Revivalist music in any form or venue. This CD-set will get you back to the Psalms and will spare you the contemporary forces of modernity, levity, banality, dullness, juiciness, jog-trottish hyperamas, and the rest associated with American schismatical, sectarian, and Methodobaptostal religion.

http://loudcity.com/stations/sola5-radio/tune_in
An interesting 24/7 internet radio station. Seems to have a lot of acapella Psalm-singing with Scripture reading. Sic et non.
Have spent an hour listening. The tunes are a little backwoodish. The acapella, some of them good, the others....quite poor.
Nontheless, the people raised on these are a strong breed. If they had better tunes, pipe organs, and strong congregational support with a good choir, more tolerable. The tunes sound like something from a backwoods Gospel-quartet here in country North Carolina.
Within the last hour, to their credit, they've read Romans 6-12, alternating with Psalms.
Unbelievably, they actually sang Psalm 94 in its entirety. This would empty the Church Growther and Metha-baptacostal-Holiness types.
At 1030-1100, a lecture on the "English Reformation" by Dr. Morecraft, a Presbyterian. Fair, but without needed nuances and some problems.
1100-1200: Classical music.
1200-1240: A lovely lecture on Chapter One of the Westminster Confession.
Will bring periodic status updates. It's a new venture.
I've heard more theology, Bible and history in 3 hours than many places. Commendable.
