Saint Paul says 1cor.14:26 when you meet bring a psalm a teaching a tongue a revelation…
How often have you done this??
. and what spiritual truth have you shared??
 
Actually, Paul didn’t say that everyone was supposed to bring a psalm / hymn / whatever. What he did say was that in the church in Corinth, “. . . each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation.” (ESV) I strongly suspect that his “each one / everyone” was hyperbole. In any case, his point was that a lot of people in that congregation thought that they had something to contribute, and his argument was that these contributions should be made in an orderly manner, so that the rest of the people could be “edified / built up”.

As to your specific question, I have done so in my previous Protestant life. There were times when I was a music minister, teacher, interim pastor, etc., and I had to bring songs or teachings (tongues – not so much). Since swimming the Tiber – no.

At Catholic youth retreats, yes. Often concerning the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
 
Quite often…not a psalm, but a hymn of sorts…a greeting and farewell with many of my brothers and sisters, Philippians 4:4 - “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice”.

This gem was given me by my spiritual advisor, a holy man and Franciscan Friar and priest, and it has served me well.
