While there is no need to pray them when one is praying alone, I think they help the community focus on the psalm just prayed and invite us to go past the words to the heart of the psalm. As a young friar who prayed the Liturgy of the Hours in Latin, I found the psalm prayer very helpful when we were first allowed to pray in EnglishBr.

Especially about the psalm-prayers (ick.)<br />As to the ribbons (and shortage thereof), they're the reason I usually use a breviary app instead of my book.<br />How long do you think it will take for the new version to be published?

The reason the current U.S. version does not contain them is not that the U.S. Bishops chose to eschew them, rather simply that they have never been updated since this new typical edition was promulgated.

It was one of the best decisions I ever made (and I use "I" loosely, as there was a coin toss involved) to buy the full set of Breviaries at Blackwell's in Oxford, and start praying the full Office every day (although I soon cut out Terce and None). Now I can't imagine staying sane without those prayers. (And my back thanks my Universalis app for not having to tote the full book around all the time.)<br /><br />I imagine the new translation will be just for the U.S., as opposed to a collaboration between English-speaking bishops' conferences and the Vatican to provide a single translation (as with the Missal)? Do you think it would be better to have a single translation, or different ones for each conference?<br /><br />I second your first bullet point. The England & Wales breviary also has only a single antiphon at each hinge hour.<br /><br />The England & Wales breviary has points 2-5 (at least Latin hymns to Our Lady - I don't think it has Latin for others, eg, Te Deum, which it would be good to have).<br /><br />I'd never heard of the psalm prayers. Just found an article on them. I agree, no need.<br /><br />I think my England & Wales breviary is one ribbon short as well. Second this.<br /><br />My Ordinary Time volume has just lost its spine, after 3 years. The covers are cardboard.
