We've all probably heard of the Revised Grail Psalter published by the monks of Conception Abbey and being revised again for use in Roman Catholic liturgical books in the USA.
A group of non-Roman-Catholics approached Conception Abbey with a proposed further revision to fit the Revised Grail better to the original Hebrew and to be better suited for reciting and chanting (so adding syllables to some of the too-short lines, etc.). It also added back the inclusive-language aspect to some degree. This was OK'd by Conception Abbey (although is specifically not approved for Roman Catholic liturgy) and published similarly by GIA in Chicago. It's called the Ecumenical Grail Psalter.
I like it a lot, and the abbot of our Benedictine community adopted the EGP for our revised breviary along with a new psalter distribution.
I was wondering whether others are familiar with the EGP and what they think of it. I think it's an improvement on the previous inclusive-language Grail; if we're using Grail I'd want to use the new EGP or the original 1963 one (if inclusivity were not an issue).
And I think we need a return of our previously popular (and some might say endless) Divine Office thread; I'm trying to think of an angle.

I think you are right, and this seems as a good a point for starting discussion as any! I will close this thread and transfer the matter to a Brand New and Shiny Divine Office thread...
