We've had this discussion before (it might have a subject about multiple
movements or something), and there are other ways to do it, but for me
the easiest way is to use lilypond-book.  So you say something like:

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
\newcommand{\composer}[1]{\begin{flushright}{\textsl{#1}}\end{flushright}}
\newcommand{\lilytitle}[2]{\begin{center}{\LARGE{\textbf{#1}}\\\Large{#2}}\end{center}}
\newcommand{\lilycontentsline}[1]{\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{#1}}
\lilycontentsline{Psalm 22}
\lilytitle{Psalm 22}{Antiphon}
\lilypondfile{psalm22.ly}
%whatever stuff you want as header to the melody part
\lilypondfile{melody.ly}

\end{document}

in a file named psalm22.lytex, and then in your makefile you have:

psalm22.ps:     psalm22.lytex *.ly
        lilypond-book --outdir=out psalm22.lytex
        cd out;latex psalm22.latex;dvips -o ../psalm22.ps psalm22.dvi

So then you just say "make psalm22.ps".
