A person who opposes or criticizes the use of psalms, especially in religious worship or services.
From anti- (against) + psalmist (one who composes or sings psalms, from Greek psalmos, a stringed instrument or song). This rare term emerged during religious reform movements when believers debated which forms of worship were acceptable.
During the Protestant Reformation, some groups were antipsalmists, arguing that only certain biblical texts should be sung in churches—a debate that created lasting divisions in Christian worship styles.
