This chapter outlines the history of Presbyterian worship practice from the sixteenth century to the present, with a focus on North American Presbyterians. Tracing both their hymnody and their liturgy ultimately to John Calvin, Presbyterian communions have a distinct heritage of worship inherited from the Church of Scotland via seventeenth-century Puritans. Long marked by metrical psalmody and guided by the Westminster Directory, Presbyterian worship underwent substantial changes in the nineteenth century. Evangelical and liturgical movements led Presbyterians away from a Puritan visual aesthetic, into the use of nonscriptural hymnody, and toward a recovery of liturgical books. Mainline North American and Scottish Presbyterians solidified these trends in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; however, conservative North American denominations and some other denominations globally continue to rely heavily on the use of a worship directory and metrical psalmody.

Cet article remet dans son contexte, ou plutôt dans ses contextes, la paraphrase métrique du psaume 83 écrite par Robert Pont pour le premier psautier métrique de l'Église reformée écossaise (1564). On y montre que cette paraphrase constitue le seul lien textuel entre les trois grands receuils de vers qui virent le jour dans l'Écosse des années 1560, après le triomphe de la Réforme, à savoir, les Gude and Godlie Ballatis, le Psautier officiel, et le manuscrit Bannatyne. Cet article décrit ces trois contextes fort différents, et montre que dans chacun d'eux, le psaume 83 incarne un concept bien différencié de la continuité au sein des bouleversements et les incertitudes de l'époque.
