psalmody
Psalmody is the practice of singing or chanting Psalms, the biblical songs and poems found in the Book of Psalms. It involves the musical and poetic expression of these sacred texts, often used in religious worship to inspire reflection, praise, and prayer. Psalmody can be performed in various styles, from traditional choral renditions to contemporary singing, and plays a central role in many Christian, Jewish, and other liturgical traditions. It combines linguistic artistry with musical elements, creating an evocative experience of spiritual connection and communal worship.
