This article shows that the call to exclusive psalmody in public worship is not meant to deny Christian hymns, but is about the use of Scripture in public worship, and that Psalms are given by God for public worship. A historical overview of this conviction is also shared.

This article is an introduction to the book of Psalms. The arrangement and collection of the Psalms is discussed as well as the singing of the Psalms (the Psalms as part of the liturgy and songbook). The history of the Psalmody is also mentioned. The author also looks at Jesus Christ and the Psalms and the interpretation of the Psalms.
