Gelineau psalmody is a method of singing the Psalms that was developed in France by Catholic Jesuit priest Joseph Gelineau around 1953, with English translations appearing some ten years later. Its chief distinctives are:
- a responsorial structure, with the congregation singing a repeating antiphon between the psalm verses which are sung by a choir or cantor;
- unlike plainchant or Anglican chant, the verses have a regular metre.
