Hey all. I really want to get into singing the Psalms of David in Metre to myself as I work, but I was wondering: are there any resources for more upbeat rhythems and patterns (not necessarily music) so that I can sing the Psalms to tunes that differ for different circumstances? This still counts as A capella because I'm only looking for music to establish rhythm not to accompany singing.

If you can wait about a month, our church is currently producing a project where our goal is to record (over time) all 150 Psalms (from the 1650 Psalter) with acoustic guitar, cello and vocals. It will be available on our church's app: http://get.theapp.co/e4f7

Braden, what do you mean by rhythms and patterns but not necessarily music?

Many of the tunes found on the 1650 app, for instance, could be sung to a faster tempo (appropriateness depending on the Psalm of course).

I mean I tend, unless I'm given another way, to sing in really weird tunes.

I'm not sure what you mean by "upbeat rhythm and patterns" but I would recommend the app "1650". It's been a great help to me in starting to learn the psalms, so that. In the past year or two I have memorized numerous psalms using mostly the tunes from that app.

If you are not going public with your Psalm singing, I suggest that you at least try to make up your own tunes on the fly. It works for me. I wouldn't want anyone to hear me, but somehow I think the Lord is pleased with my attempts.
