I've always said it salm, with a silent P, but I hear a lot of people say palm.
Is there a reason for this? Is palm an acceptable pronunciation or do these people just not know better?

I thought it might be one of those things where two different pronunciations are acceptable, like saying "palm" was more true to the Greek origin of the word!

Not as far as I know, no.

It's pronounced saulm.
The biggest issue I see with the word is not the pronunciation fbut using the plural when disussing a particular Psalm.
So instead of Psalm 23, people often say Psalms 23 which would tend to mean that particular Psalm is actually multiple psalms.

I've never heard it pronounced any other way. I'd say those people need some churchin' up.
