Psalter Project is a resource intended to encourage and enable psalm singing. We see music as an irreplaceable means to “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” (Col 3:16). Our goal is to write, publish, and promote fresh arrangements for these eternally relevant lyrics. Translating ancient Hebrew poetry into contemporary English lyrics is difficult, to say the least. Is it really worth it? Emily Bateman, co-founder and director of Psalter Project, gives a brief overview of seven reasons to choose to sing the psalms.
