Sing Psalms
Sing Psalms is a metrical translation of the Psalms rather than a paraphrase, in that every effort has been made to set out in verse what is to be found in the original text.
At times compression of expression and also expansion have to be employed to adjust to the metrical format of the English version; this has been done in such a way as to steer a middle course between over-expansion of Scripture and undue omission.
The singing of the Psalms has always been part of the worship of the Christian Church.
At the Reformation the use of metrical psalms became common, and Sing Psalms seeks to foster the practice of the singing of metrical Psalms.
Versions of the psalms found in Sing Psalms may be reproduced in any form without express permission of the Psalmody and Praise Committee provided the quotations occur in non-saleable media and provided no more than six psalms are quoted at any time.
Appropriate acknowledgement would be appreciated.

amazing app...can learn to sing new psalms anywhere. The midi player that teaches the tunes is fully adjustable (you can change the pitch and tempo!!!). Just swipe up on the midi player at the bottom of the screen. =)
I expectected it to be better. It is too fast to sing to. There is no singing. There are no alternate tunes or the ability to find and add alternate tunes. Please revise.
Absolutely beautiful app. Works flawlessly. I have not come across this metrical version of the Psalms before - and it is delightful. Modern and yet timeless. Any chance of being able to download the piano MP3 files?
Excellent app for reading Psalms. Completely ad-free, and keeps track of the last psalm that you read.
I cannot understand the playlist feature at all or how to upload my own midi files to add songs to Psalms which have none (psalm 5). This is very disappointing.
Thank you for creating this app. This is a great way of learning the psalms coz I found it difficult to remember.
A very helpful App, but the "Scottish Psalter" is not included as it is in the hard copy of Sing Psalms.
Very useful for when my friends and I run out of Psalm books!
Very happy easy to sing
I'm happy to finally get a hold of this app
Doesn't play the words😒😒😒
There is no singing the music is faster than you can sing. Would be lot better of there was a way yo know each stanza in music to start each verse.
Thank you so much for creating this! What a great way of equipping God's people to sing the Psalms. :)
A useful app with the recent metric versions of the Psalms put together by the Free Church of Scotland A simple UI which is easy to use
Very useful resource for precentors
As I an currently going through the Psalms, I am also singing them, and learning new tunes. This is the song book of my church. It would be good if you had a tune library with song titles to help me pick another tube. Also, it seems that you are putting tunes of incorrect metre with some songs. Psalm 128 is today's example. This did not happen on my iPhone but I'd now occurring on my android. Perhaps you need to go check it.
