==General information==
===Publication===
[[John Arnold]]'s book ''The Psalmist's Recreation'' was published in London in 1757: the title page is dated, and describes the work as 'CONTAINING Select {{Sc|Portions}} of the PSALMS, Properly adapted to A {{Sc|Set}} of PSALM-TUNES Entirely {{Sc|New}}. Composed for FOUR VOICES, according to the most Authentic Rules, and now first Published, For the {{Sc|Use}} of COUNTRY CHOIRS.

===Description of contents===
The work consists of ten psalm tunes, all with texts from the Old Version metrical psalms, and an anthem. While the book terms this 'An ANTHEM taken out of the 107th Psalm', the text is based on the BCP text of [[Psalm 106]]: the only material shared with [[Psalm 107]] is the opening verse, which is common to both psalms.
