¶ When singing a psalm, the word 'blessed' is to be pronounced as two syllables: 'bless - ed'. Where spelled 'blest', the word is pronounced as one syllable.
¶ A double forward slash // marks the mid-point in each psalm verse where, traditionally, a pause is observed.
¶ A single forward slash / marks a bar-line of the chant. A dot · indicates the mid point of the bar, and the chord changes after the dot. Chord changes in words of more than one syllable are indicated by a dash.
¶ For those traditions which omit the word 'Alleluia' during penitential seasons, we have provided an alternative: 'Praise the Lord'.
¶ A verse printed in bold should be sung in unison.
¶ Each psalm or group of psalms may end with
Glory
to the Father and / to the / Son //
and
/ to the / Holy / Spirit;
as
it was in the be/ginning is / now //
and
shall be for / ever. / A- /men.

We / bless you · in the / name of the / Lord.'
