In the previous post I mentioned N.T. Wright’s new book on the Psalms, and also gave a link to a bible reading plan that would get you through the Psalms once a month, or once a week. For those interested in the weekly reading plan, I have come up with an alternative ordering, which puts the Psalms in their ordinary sequence. (The other plan, based on Eastern Orthodox tradition, puts them in a different order and also omits one day.) If you want to read the Psalms once a week, you could try it as follows, in two sittings each day, morning and evening:
- SUNDAY: (m) 1-17 / (e) 18-26
- MONDAY: (m) 27-37 / (e) 38-48
- TUESDAY: (m) 49-61 / (e) 62-71
- WEDNESDAY: (m) 72-78 / (e) 79-89
- THURSDAY: (m) 90-99 / (e) 100-106
- FRIDAY: (m) 107-118 / (e) 119
- SATURDAY: (m) 120-135 / (e) 136-150
Seriously, give it a try—if not as a continual habit, perhaps when you’re on a winter holiday or summer vacation!
