Psalms can be categorised as trust psalms, hymn psalms, royal psalms, wisdom and didactic psalms, lament and petition psalms, or praise and thanksgiving psalms. Go here: www.psalmsandaffirmations.com/psalms-categories.html for one way of categories each. There are psalm tones appropriate to each of these types. For example Howard Hughes, SM, has compiled a set of tones accordingly which you'll find on our website. www.dominicanlaity.ca/DominicanLaity/MorningPrayer.html. Further down on this page I've picked appropriate tones for all the psalms for Saturday Morning Prayer weeks 1-4 in Ordinary Time. I hope this is helpful in pointing you in the right direction.
thank you Mark! I really need it! Lord be with you!
I was taught Gregorian Chant by professionals - the Benedictines. I now assist with training the novices entering into vocation.
Hello Mark. How can I know what mode to use for the Liturgy of hours?
