New Testament Psalms

Two things we know about the kinds of singing Paul wanted done in the churches:

One, it was to express or at least affirm the message of Christ, not merely the word of the Old Covenant Law and Prophets:

"...Let the WORD OF CHRIST dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs...."

Two, the songs were to be sung with the Gospel of grace in their hearts - not merely with concepts of the Law before their eyes:

"...singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."
