For variety one reading was changed and hence the psalm. To my mind, if you are not going to have all 7 readings, 1, 2, 3 and 7 always feel essential and then it is a choice between 4, 5, and 6. I suspect that it is the attraction of three stories and a vision. It may be shaped by a phrase I find inadequate 'Salvation history' partly because it sounds both past and abstract — rather than the story of God's saving relationship with people which, when their are baptisms, continues to this day

Our soprano could not be with us which meant that some pieces did not have their full sparkle, and to whom the psalms were allocated was shifted but in the end it only affected one choice which was to revert to the Celtic Alleluia.
