Are there Psalms or accurate Psalm paraphrases in the red Trinity hymnal? If so, what pages? Thanks.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

Yes, many. I don't recall them all right now. But several of the Psalm/Psalter selections are taken from different Presbyterian psalters over the centuries, including even from the Genevan psalter.

We sang three of them today: Hymn 149 (from Ps 119), 88 (from Ps 138), and 437 (from Ps 67). All three of these selectison come from The Psalter from the old United Presbyterian Church (which we still use along with the red Trinity Hymnal). Hymn 87 is from Ps 23 (taken from the 1650 Scottish Psalter). Anyway, there's a few examples.

"He does well, that discourses of Christ; but he does infinitely better, that by experimental knowledge, feeds and lives on Christ." Thomas Brooks.
"Let us not please ourselves that we have deep understandings, but let us shew our understandings by our practice." Richard Sibbes

I played one this morning. "Blessed is the Man" (Psalm 1) #564
#85,86,87 are Psalm 23
#1 All People That on Earth do Dwell (Psalm 100)

Those are the ones that come to mind. If you go to the Scripture reference index (pages 900 & 901) in the Trinity Hymnal, you can find the ones which are complete. Many of them are based on one or two verses.

I want to say that there are at least 83 songs taken directly from various Psalters. There are even more that are based on Psalms. I'll have to see if I can find a list...

"Remember the speeches we have spoken so often over our mead, when we raised boast on the bench, heroes in the hall, about hard fighting. Now may the man who is bold prove that he is."-Aelfwine at the Battle of Maldon

One can leaf through the Red Trinity Hymnal and check the source listed on the right just below the hymn. As noted on page 11:

Metrical Psalm -- "Psalm (number)"
Psalm version -- "From Psalm (number)"
Psalm paraphrase -- "Based on Psalm (number)"

I would consider the first two to by psalter type entries.

I take it we know that a red Psalter is published by and widely used in PCA/OPC churches. Many churches have both the red hymnal and the red psalter:
