Contributors can volunteer their studio time to The Psalms Project, started by Shane Heilman, pictured here, but most are currently paid for their efforts.
The CD edition may require five volumes to cover the entire Psalm-book, but most music is digital these days and The Psalms Project’s offerings are often available online for free.

The biblical Book of Psalms was written to be sung or chanted by the children of Israel. In some cases performed by sacred, public assemblies, but in others, by professional temple singers. Today, though many of the Psalms have inspired timeless hymns, a fair number of them can’t be directly translated to fit the strictures of modern congregational singing. Almost all hymns, both old and new, come without key changes, or even accidentals, within the songs. Neither are there general alterations in their time signatures.
