Although psalm singng to Anglican Chant with congregations joinging in is not much less common than it was (although choirs still sing it by themselves) the C of E still has the same poor policy towards the faithful. Even when I was a boy I realised that the people in the pews were expetced to sing the psalms with just the text.
Help me, Lord, for there is not one godly man left : for the faithful are minished from among the children of men.
A choir will have the pointing, thus
It seems ridiculous to handicap the congregation in this way but prayer books do not contain pointing so, unless a church has a supply of psalters, the faithful have to improvise!
