John 3:16 KJV: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I wanted to share this well-done Psalm book from 1947 that I found this month. It breaks up the Psalms into 8 readings per day for each of the canonical hours (12:00, 3:00, 6:00, 9:00 AM and PM) for each day of the week, and also has a list of topical readings in the beginning and a numerical index of all the Psalms at the end. The Psalm and verse numbering is according to the Septuagint / Latin Vulgate pattern. The English is a bit archaic, but clearly more modern than the 1769 Blayney KJV. Where there is unusual language it reflects the source text and prompts further study. It's available electronically and in print, and can be previewed on Amazon and Google Books. The print copy is only 5 1/4 by 3 1/2 inches (13.3 by 9 cm), so you can meditate on the poetry of God anywhere you go. It also has illustrations, but because it was made physically smaller in the latest edition they can be difficult to parse; apparently older printings were larger, so you may be better served getting a used copy if it is an issue.

I looks pretty good and I might have to get myself a copy. Looking at the previews, it looks like they don't have the "Glory be" prayer at the end of each Psalm, which is weird to me but I could just add them in myself when I'm praying.

I'm not sure why, but it only seems to be present at the end of each day with the Compline reading, although in one place it's present after Lauds.
