On Reading the Psalms as Cranmer Intended

My community joins a number of others in reading the Psalter as part of the Daily Office in Cranmer's 30-day cycle (indicated in headings in the Book of Common Prayer.) This produces some odd dissonances from time to time, but the overall effect is powerful. One is somewhat down at the sea in ships, being cast high or low, then in a quiet eddy, sometimes a bit queasy, then by turns thrilled, occasionally becalmed then narrowly escaping the maelstrom of anger and the funnel of hatred, only to sail into a safe harbor of Hallelujah's as the cycle comes to a close.
