First, I would request no debates.
A recent thread got me thinking of the differences between psalters.
In the RPCNA, the 1650 seems to be used in some places. Our own congregation use the Book of Psalms for Singing (the Red psalter), and there's the Book of Psalms for Worship (the Blue psalter) in others.
There's a quote by RM M'Cheyne that says in some places the 1650 exceeds the accuracy of the prosaic KJV. I first wonder if brothers and sisters here may have thoughts to express one way or the other on this idea.
And, thoughts on the quality/accuracy of the Red and Blue psalters?
I suppose I'm looking for a "translation for life" from which I'll always be singing and meditating.
