→The Psalter in Orthodox worship: cited source
== The Psalter in Orthodox worship ==
One modern commentator , Bp. [[Demetri (Khoury) of Jableh|Demetri]], in his foreword to ''Christ in the Psalms'', has described the Psalter as a "golden thread running [which runs] through the beautiful garment that is the divine services of the [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]][need citation]worship. " Indeed, the Psalter forms the core of each of the services of the [[Daily Cycle]], the [[Divine Liturgy]], and the other sacramental offices of the Church.
The Psalter is so prevalent in Orthodox worship that St. [[John Chrysostom]] said that wherever one looks in the Church, he finds the Psalter "first, last, and central."
