As a previous poster noted, they already get spells from any class, so this is actually a weaker version of that.  And kind of unexciting in that it's redundant.  For me, subclasses are interesting/exciting because they introduce new abilities and mechanics.  I feel like I could get everything this subclass has by just multiclassing bard/cleric or bard/paladin.  The Psalmist is a great initial concept.  Ask yourself what could a bard who goes around composing/reciting/singing paeans to his deity do that nobody else could do.</blockquote>
