Hello, everyone.
I just wanted to introduce Korean Psalter to you guys.
Many people know that Presbyterian churches are strong in South Korea;
however, many of these Presbyterian churches (if not all) lost their distinctives as Presbyterian.
As to why, that's whole another thread.
For instance, psalm singing was recently introduced to Korean churches
though it is historically reformed/presbyterian practice (and biblical mandate ).
Ten years ago, Korean Christians couldn't even sing Psalms, because there was no Psalter.
But praise the Lord! Now we do have some. In fact, there are three versions of Psalter currently published.
Below is one of the versions of Psalter widely used in historically reformed/presbyterian churches in Korea.

It is published by Korea Christian Book House in 2004.
Songs contained in this Psalter are from the Psalter used by Free Church of Scotland.
Here is a sample. It's Psalm 32, verse 1. I sang all the parts and edited them.

"Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit" (Psalm 32:1, 2).
허물의 사함을 얻고 죄악 가리움 받은 자
마음에 간사가 없고 주가 정죄치 않는 자
복 있도다 복 있도다 죄를 용서함 받은 자
