A capella Exclusive Psalmody Sub-forum dedicated to the discussion of non-instrumental worship and the exclusive use of the Psalms per the Reformed Confessions.

The ARP has not authorized the exclusive singing of Psalms without instruments for a long time. The matter is left up to individual sessions to determine. There are some congregations that sing Psalms only and others that do not.

Do you happen to know the ones that do sing Psalms-only?
