The Psalter is a sacred book containing psalms that King David wrote down through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Reading the Psalter at home allows you to blot out sins, uplift the soul and attract angels to help.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare a candle or a burning lamp. The reading of the Psalter should be accompanied by fire. An alternative option is only possible if you are on the road. Find a quiet place where no one will distract you or otherwise disturb you. It is necessary to read the Psalter aloud, but in an undertone, listening carefully to the words and trying to make out the meaning that is embedded in them.
Step 2
Pay special attention to the correct placement of the stress. Otherwise, the meaning of words or even entire sentences may change. In Orthodoxy, this is considered a sin. Also, you can not sit while reading the closing or initial prayers (as well as the so-called "Words") - be sure to get up, in other areas you can sit.
Step 3
In no case should you dramatize, put emotions and feelings in the reading of the psalms. Let your voice be monotonous and a little chanting. The main thing is to maintain an impartial character. Also, you cannot show emotions if you cannot understand the meaning of what is said. As a person grows up spiritually, he will be able to understand more and more.
