The Holy Psalter (Audiobook)

The Holy Psalter contains the Psalms and other scriptural Odes that are used throughout the Orthodox Church's liturgical life. It uses the Greek Septuagint ("LXX") Old Testament, the scripture used by the Apostles and the early Christians, and by the Orthodox Church today.

What makes the Saint Ignatius Orthodox Press Holy Psalter (print version) truly unique is the inclusion of the hymns and prayers of the "Cell Prayer Rule" after each Kathisma division. Translated into English for the first time, this material from the historic manuscripts of Pantokratoros Monastery on Mount Athos transforms the Book of Psalms into a true prayer book, as it is used especially in small monasteries (sketes) in the Athonite tradition.

This monumental audiobook includes the full Cell Vigil, with the Psalms, Troparia, Prayers and Biblical Odes prayerfully read (and the Troparia sung) by an ordained Reader in a traditional, churchly fashion. Whether you listen during long commutes, while enjoying the outdoors, during a fasting season or any other time, we pray that this recording may be a spiritual enrichment to your life.

Total duration: 6 hours, 30 minutes. Delivered via download (ZIP archive with MP3 audio files).
