* On the Holy Mountain (and in Slavic countries) the Typica are chanted every Sunday, except on Sundays
that fall between a feast day of the Lord and its leave-taking. The first stasis (Psalm 102, LXX) is chanted
instead of the First Antiphon: "Through the intercessions of the Theotokos. . . ." The second stasis (Psalm 145)
is chanted instead of the Second Antiphon: "Save us, O Son of God. . . ." The third stasis of the Typica is the
Beatitudes, which are chanted as verses for the appropriate hymns of the day.

A psalm consoles the sad, restrains the joyful, tempers the angry,
refreshes the poor and chides the rich man to know himself.
To absolutely all who take it, the psalm offers an appropriate
medicine; nor does it despise the sinner, but presses upon
him the wholesome remedy of penitential tears.

—St. Niceta of Remesiana

No one in chanting with a ready and eager mind will be blamed if he be
weakened by old age, or young, or have a rough voice, or is altogether

ignorant of rhthym. What is here sought for is a sober soul, an alert
mind, a contrite heart, sound reason, and a clear conscience.
If having these you have entered into God's sacred choir,
you may stand beside David himself. There is no need
of zithers, nor of taut strings, nor of a plectrum, nor skill,
nor any instruments. But if you will, you can make
yourself into a zither, mortifying the limbs of the
flesh, and forming full harmony between body
and soul. For when the flesh does not lust
against the spirit, but yields to its commands,
and perseveres along the path
that is noble and admirable,
you thus produce
a spiritual melody.

—St. John Chrysostom, Commentary on Psalm 41
