psalter
This term refers specifically to a liturgical book of psalms, carrying a connotation of antiquity, reverence, and structured devotion. It is most frequently encountered in historical, ecclesiastical, or academic contexts, particularly when discussing medieval manuscripts or traditional Anglican and Catholic rites.
Because it describes a physical volume, the word is a standard countable noun. It is distinct from a general hymnbook or a complete Bible, as its primary focus is the specific poetic prayers of the Psalter.
