• A liturgical companion for worship where the psalms are read, such as at services of Evensong, whether choral in grand settings or said in simpler services. • A valuable resource for ministers unfamiliar with Book of Common Prayer worship.

Psalm Prayers is a devotional companion to the Psalms and a practical resource for creating prayers for public worship. It is particularly helpful for those who lead services of Evensong from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, where the reading of the psalms and extemporary prayer are integral parts of the service. Stephen Cherry introduces each of the 150 Psalms and lays out its central theme before offering a prayer in response. Crafted with care in a traditional style that complements the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, these prayers are nevertheless fresh and immediate, vividly reflecting the concerns and pressures of today's world. These prayers have been developed and used over many years' experience in parish and cathedral ministry, and latterly in King's College, Cambridge, and are suitable for both choral evensong in cathedrals and college chapels or simple, spoken services in local churches.

\["Made for public and personal prayer","This compilation presents the Psalms with accompanying prayers","You'll find the new words to deepen your faith and life"\]

Bringing the Psalms of David with accompanying prayer, this collection is ideally suited for personal, public and congregational use.
