In this article the author is looking at the Old Russian manuscripts of the Book of Psalms from the Bible in the context of their role in the church services of medieval Russia. Special attention is paid to the place of the sung Book of Psalms in the Оld Russian church service. Using the example of some characteristics of psalms manuscripts the author suggests the possible ways that past singers of the church choirs used the book. Furthermore, in some of the psalm manuscripts of the XV century some editorial notes are preserved indicating how service psalms were used to create the sung version of Obihod.
