A Psalter for Prayer is the first major English edition to include all the prayers needed to read the Psalter at home according to an Orthodox tradition that reaches back to the time of the desert fathers, known popularly as the 'cell rule'. In addition, the contents include many texts, traditionally printed in Orthodox Psalters, that are not easily found in English, such as the Rite for Singing the Twelve Psalms, directions for reading the Psalter for the Departed and much more. This digital annotated edition includes endnotes omitted from recent, devotional editions. Some are rubrical or informational notes, but most are intended to help the reader understand why a particular word, phrase, or verse is used in this English version to translate the Septuagint Greek of Alfred Rahlfs. This annotated edition will allow readers to not only judge for themselves the fidelity of A Psalter for Prayer to the received Greek text of the Orthodox Church and to its Latin and Church Slavonic translations, but also to better understand how the Psalter as the prayer book of the Church evolved into its present form and what such a book teaches us about the centrality of the psalms in Christian prayer and how to pray them at home and in church.

"This to be Love, that your spirit to live in a natural holiness with the Beloved, and your bodies to be a sweet and natural delight that shall be never lost of a lovely mystery.... And shame to be unborn, and all things to go wholesome and proper, out of an utter greatness of understanding; and the Man to be an Hero and a Child before the Woman; and the Woman to be an Holy Light of the Spirit and an Utter Companion and in the same time a glad Possession unto the Man.... And this doth be Human Love...." "...for this to be the especial glory of Love, that it doth make unto all Sweetness and Greatness, and doth be a fire burning all Littleness; so that did all in this world to have met The Beloved, then did Wantonness be dead, and there to grow Gladness and Charity, dancing in the years."
