The Psalter of the Mother of God is a Christian hymn composed in the likeness of the Psalms of David. The psalms for the Psalter of the Mother of God were written by Saint Demetrius of Rostov, who lived in the 17th century. The doxology in honor of the Most Holy Mother of God brings down upon us Her mercy and intercession.
The Psalter of the Mother of God is a marvelous doxology that was written to express the ineffable love of the Mother of God for the entire Christian race and Her great intercession. And, indeed, it is very important to be under the special Protection of the Queen of Heaven. The Psalter of the Mother of God is dearly loved by almost all Christians.
From the Orthodox Encyclopedia:
"... Demetrius was also the author of a significant number of prayers, short theological treatises, edifying works, and poetic texts. In poetic genres, he preferred cants, or psalms. …. "
The work entitled "The Psalter of the Mother of God" was not published during the life of the saint. The collection in the form of "The Psalter of the Mother of God" was not compiled by him himself.
Why read the Psalter of the Mother of God? Why pray to the Mother of God? I think it is clear why. We all honor Her, pray, icons of the Mother of God are the most common among us. It is unnecessary to even talk about it - apparently the author of this psalter wanted to compose something like the same hymn and prayer shield as the Psalter of David but the Mother of God. To combine prayer to Her and psalms. Actually, considering that the entire Orthodox Divine Service is built on the psalms of David and everywhere in it there are prayers to the Mother of God (All generations will bless Her), it can be said that the Psalter of the Mother of God is absolutely consonant with the rest of the Orthodox Divine Service.
