We do not sing from the Psalter, but since i have memorized most of the Psalms they are my meditation in my private pray and worship. I can understand why they are important , since by them there is a more clear understanding of the difference between sentimentalism and the necessary elements of understanding the nature of who God is. Some of the hymns are sentimental in nature even tho they are very doctrinal. And although i love to sing doctrine, yet there is a feeling of mushiness and more of a defense attitude about Christ rule that are not there in the spirit of the Psalms.  The psalms are a fortress for those who are in trouble, those who have a misunderstanding of the holiness of God, and those who are relationally deceived. The Psalms create the dispositional qualities of kingdom living, by having the necessary components of creating a worship that is pure. They are the vehicle by which the Spirit recreates the soul. The psalms create the intellectual discernment so as to keep a person from being deceive by a religion of the masses. In the Psalms is the perfect ending of selfish anger, and the beginning of Gods love in experience. They create  the place where we leave all of our inordinate inhibitions, and come out with a  holistic attitude of spiritual awareness. The psalms are the counselor of the soul. They are the only permanent trustworthy systemic medicine that we have to answer every soul malady. In the psalms we have the end of the society of accusers in Gods determining for them to be dealt with in an ongoing spiritual element through redeeming activity by the means of prayer or the just recompense of judgment by those spiritual paradigms. It creates in the working out of Gods design a society of lovers by the sovereign nature to reality in those spiritual paradigms of fervent communication. They give us the indirect way to deal with all of the practical problems that come as a result of living in this world by creating sovereign action to create peace in our surroundings.
