A complete set of responsorial psalms for Sundays, solemnities, and feasts of the Lord throughout the three-year Lectionary cycle. About the text: The Abbey Psalms and Canticles find their source in the 1963 English language Grail Translation of the Psalms. The Grail Psalms themselves have their origin in the French Bible de Jerusalem which sought to faithfully capture the text stresses or sprung rhythm, of the original Hebrew. The Grail Psalms underwent minor revisions in the 1980s and 1990s. The release of the document Liturgiam authenticam in 2001 required that the Grail Psalms be revised again for use in Roman Catholic liturgy, this time under the direction of Abbot Gregory Polan and the monks of Conception Abbey. Their careful editing and scholarship produced the Revised Grail Psalms in 2010. However, this translation would undergo further (slight) revisions in 2018 leading to the publication in 2020 of The Abbey Psalms and Canticles About the music: Since their publication in 1994, the psalm refrain settings and psalm tones of Canadian composer Michel Guimont have enjoyed wide popularity in North America. These psalm settings have been included as the lectionary psalter in a number of GIA hymnals and have a harmonic freshness and flexibility in performance that makes them a unique and enduring contribution to the Church’s song.  .

This psalm collection is arranged according to liturgical year, with the three-year temporal cycle being followed by solemnities, feasts of the Lord, and national holidays presented in chronological order, everything as it appears in the Oramos Cantando / We Pray in Song hymnal. Most of the musical settings of the 144 pairs of English and Spanish psalm refrains in this collection were composed in 2003 either by Tony Alonso, Ronald Krisman, or John Schiavone. In most cases, each pair of refrains share the same melody, occasionally they are counter-melodies to each other, allowing for both languages to be sung simultaneously. Some refrains were further edited, a few were replaced with new refrains composed by Michel Guimont, Kelly Dobbs Mickus, and Ronald Krisman. The psalm tones of Canadian composer Michel Guimont, which enjoy a wide popularity in North America, are used exclusively in this collection. The Lectionary psalms use USCCB-approved refrains in both English and Spanish and verses from The Revised Grail Psalms and the salterio of Spain's Conferencia Episcopal Española (CEE). These bilingual lectionary psalms have been included in the Sacred Song missalette program of The Liturgical Press since 2004. While this collection may be used as a bilingual Lectionary psalter with any musical resource found in the pew, it is specifically linked to GIA's hymnal Oramos Cantando / We Pray in Song.
