Psalter pointed for chanting

[SRoper]

Does there exist a psalter pointed for chanting in a good modern English translation (ESV or NKJV)? The closest I can find is the Lutheran Service Book which uses the ESV, but the pew edition does not have all the Psalms and has a bunch of stuff I don't want or need. Is my best bet to buy a copy of the ESV Psalms and roll my own?

I guess the sound of crickets tells me everything I need to know.

I am not aware of a printed psalter in a form suitable for chanting, but years ago I stumbled upon a Lutheran website that had recordings of all the psalms chanted in the KJV. You can find those here: Psalm Tones. Not a modern translation as you requested, but it's what I'm aware of, and it may be of use. Perhaps you can borrow the patterns and try fitting them to the ESV.

Also, the 1973 RPCNA Psalter (Book of Psalms for Singing) has perhaps 4 psalms presented, with musical notation, as a chant. The subsequent RPCNA Psalter (Book of Psalms for Worship) does not have any chants.
