So excited about this psalter, I have the Psalter for Prayer, and I would love to see how both translations compare with each other as far as ease of chanting the psalms and other resources to enrich one's prayer life. Thanks for the awesome review video, you are always in my prayers. May God continue to bless you and your channel!!
Ok, so I've bought 5 of these for myself and friends/family. I absolutely love the layout and love the translation of the Psalms. Some criticisms though: 1. The cloth covering is not "sealed" or what have you, so after almost a week of daily use, it is already becoming dirty, and the golden gloss is beginning to wear. I foresee the edges and corners wearing thin fairly quickly. The paper has a very Construction-Papery feel which, alongside the soft cloth cover, leaves me disappointed with the feel in the hands, and worried about accidental tears in a way that I don't with the Anthologion. 2. Which brings me to my next criticism: I have noticed some small variations in the Psalms in the Psalter from the same Psalms in the Anthologion, despite being purported to be from the same translation! What gives? Nevertheless, given the layout and the readability, and the inclusion of the Hexapsalmos separately, and the Biblical Odes this has become my go-to Psalter.
I’m not sure if you meant for this to be public! I see it is unlisted but is technically public by being in your Psalters playlist. Just making you aware in case you did not realize. Thank you for your videos!
So excited for this. I just need to get the prophetlogion, and maybe the 2nd edition Anthologion. I might just stay patient and get the 3rd with everything fixed
Handsome on your shelf 🤣🤣🤣 That's a beautiful woman of fine printing and sacred scripture, you can't keep her on a shelf.... And I wouldn't call her "Handsome"🤣🤣🤣
Love Legacy Icons and what they are doing! I have "A Psalter for Prayer" that I've been using but I am having a hard time finding the troparia "The Assembly of Angels" that is used on feast days. Do you know where I can find the troparia?
I have a book of psalters. I believe I read somewhere on the internet that we're supposed to sing the words rather than read but I don't know how to sing and I don't know how to read music notes. I'd like to start doing psalters on Saturdays before bed but I don't feel like I have a starting point. I know I'd butcher every note that I try to sing and it's most likely not going to sound how it's meant to sound. Have you ever heard a priest say it's permitted to simply read the psalter?

I tried ordering one of these, I guess they are out. If you have an extra one you havent given out I would be willing to make a good size donation if you would send me one!

Great review! As always!

Oh, wow! Uea, it's supposed to be unlisted!
Tanks Raphael! Just ordered the Psalter and the 2nd Ed. of the Anthologion.

Please help me find the weekly tone as I just received this but to use with the Anthologian!!

Those can usually be found in the prayer book, or liturgy book. So, in this case, they are in the Anthologion.
@@OrthodoxReview Thank you so much! Love your videos.

At home we typically just read it. If you want to chant it in mono tone, that's acceptable.
Would you recommend this psalter if we already have the blue Holy Transfiguration Monastery psalter from Boston?
Only if you're into exploring a different translation. Well, the kathisma prayers are cool, as well.
How does this compare to holy transfiguration translation
Psalm 118 is three antiphons or stasis, which together form one kathisma.
Yea, slip-o-the tongue.
