A joint publication of St Vladimir's Seminary Press and St Tikhon's Monastery Press.
Nearly ten years in the making, this liturgical translation of the Psalter is the result of a collaborative effort between translators, editors, scholars, church musicians, and the communities of St Vladimir's Seminary and St Tikhon's Monastery. The goal for this project was to find a translational register that was both accurate to the original and, at the same time, felt familiar within the liturgical context in which it would be read and sung. Though grounded in a fresh translation from the original Greek Septuagint—that is, not simply a re-working of an existing English text—this translation aligns whenever possible with the existing monuments of English translations of the Psalms.
In addition to the Psalms, divided into their twenty kathismas, The Holy Psalter also includes many additional resources including: selected texts from the Holy Fathers on the Psalms, the Biblical Canticles, various hymns and prayers to accompany the reading of the Psalter, a list of Psalms according to theme, and a separate composite for the Six Psalms.

Great Translation-Durable Construction
I received my copy today. The cover has a textured cloth over board. The translation is nice and similar to the HTM translation. The binding looks nice and sturdy and will hold up for many years to come. Some may not like the textured cover but I do. If you have a large problem with it just wrap it in a leather notebook cover and it should be fine.
When STM and SVS publish anything there is a certain standard of quality we expect and this books lives up to that. The paper, typeset, page design, every detail like the STM prayer book is excellent.
At the time of ordering late 2025 I received the first printing which is not Gomer in UK and only has one ribbon not three but that fact is fine with me If you’re a flipper it might be worth clarifying with SVS you’re receiving a second printing and not the first.
