A little over 20 years ago, I decided that I wanted to pray the psalms according to the rule of St. Benedict. I originally arranged it for three times a day. Then, some years ago, changed it to four times a day. It has seen many changes over the years and probably will see more. I offer it as a way to pray the psalter in one week, as a devotional. Change it as you wish. Those using the Douay-Rheims for the psalms will need to make the appropriate adjustments.

*When a single psalm is listed, it ends with the full Gloria Patri. When psalms are listed in a group, each psalm ends with the first part of the doxology, “Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy spirit”, and the last psalm of the group ends with the full doxology.
