St Sunstan’s Psalter.
I’m new to chanting the Psalms and this book is a terrific aide in learning. Also, all 150 Psalm chants are on YouTube to further assist one in learning. God bless.

John Calvin on psalters
"... that which St. Augustine has said is true, that no one is able to sing things worthy of God except that which he has received from him. Therefore, when we have looked thoroughly, and search here and there, we shall not find better songs nor more fitting for the purpose, than the Psalms of David, which the Holy Spirit spoke and made through him. And moreover, when we sing them, we are certain that God puts in our mouths these, as if himself were singing in us to exalt his glory" - John Calvin
