Forum members maybe interested in knowing of this newly released Psalter. It uses contemporary English translations primarily from +Archimandrite Ephrem Lash, and contains prayers found from manuscripts of Pantokratoros Monastery on Mount Athos between the Kathismata.

I've been using this Psalter since Christmas. The modern English takes a little getting used to (I'd been using the HTM Psalter for some time previously), but it flows very well. I really like and appreciate the prayers at the end of each Kathisma, something the HTM lacks. Those prayers are simply...wonderful! The font size is better, imo, than that of the HTM which I found quite small for my old eyes. This Psalter also has a number of other "extras", like an "Introduction To The Psalms" by St. John Chrysostom, the 9 Odes + Odes 10-14, the Eclogarion, Prayers for Special Vigils, etc.

I'm certainly no expert and am rather new to a systematic reading/praying of the Psalter, but I'd highly recommend this one!

J Michael,

I bought an Orthodox Psalter that has all the prayers in Slavic use after each Kathisma. The only thing I find difficult is that the psalms used are pre-King James and the prayers are in the same format.

Does the one you cite have these same prayers?

I don't think so. The prayers in the St. Ignatius Psalter are from the Greek usage. If you go here: https://www.ignatius.cc/rsc/doc/inside-psalter.pdf and scroll about halfway down you'll come to the first of the Prayers After the Kathisma. Here they are, but it's much more readable if you click the link.

prayers after the kathisma •
Holy God All-holy Trinity Our Father †
troparia in tone 1

Because I have sunk in the deep ocean of my transgressions,
O Savior, and have been dreadfully overwhelmed by my of-
fenses, give me your hand, O God, as to Peter, and save me
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
Because I have been condemned, O Savior, by my evil
thoughts and deeds, grant me the idea of turning back, O
God, that I may cry: Save me, O good Benefactor, and have mercy on me
Both now and forever, and to the ages of ages Amen
At the intercession, O Lord, of all the saints and of the Mother
of God, give us your peace and have mercy on us, as you
alone are compassionate

Lord, have mercy (40)

prayer by saint basil the great

I bless you, O Lord, the only patient and long-suffering One,
for each day and hour you show patience towards me, the
sinner, granting strength through repentance For this, you keep
silent and endure us, O Lord, that we might glorify you, the One
who looks after the salvation of our race: at one time through
fear, at another time through encouragement; of old through the
Prophets, and later through the coming of your Son who visited
us For you yourself made us, and not we ourselves; you are our
God O Lord, I am not worthy to utter a sound about you, for my
sinfulness is very great I give thanks to you, O Lord, for you are
patient with my lawlessness, and even now you allow me to go
unpunished I am worthy to suffer many things, and to be torn
away from your presence, but your persistent love for mankind is
patient towards me I give you thanks, whether I am justified or
not, to the glory of your loving-kindness Have mercy on me, O
Lord Take hold of my soul, what remains of my life, according to
your will, and be my Guide, as your deep compassion knows my
humiliation And do not entrust your mercy to me, but as your
compassionate love for mankind knows, only give me a drop of
the mercy of your compassions, thereby releasing me from this
body Through the prayers and intercessions of our glorious,
all-holy Lady, the Mother of God; of the precious and life-
giving Cross, and of all the saints who have been
well-pleasing to you from the ages
For you are blessed to
the ages of ages
Amen

Lord, have mercy (3)
