Your go-to item for Medieval lay religiosity is the 'Book of Hours'. These texts were immensely popular throughout the Medieval period, as evidenced by the sheer volume that still survive today, and came in a startling array of complexity, ornate-ness and design but with broadly similar content. Those in English are often called 'Primers' instead.
A Book of Hours was essentially a portable 'Christian worship 101' that contained a series of useful prayers, dates and catechisms useful in everyday religious life, and originally stemmed from attempts to cater to a secular public who wished to incorporate monastic style worship into their lives without fully committing themselves to an institution. As a result, books of hours often carried a short version of the 'Divine Office' of monastery rules - when to say specific prayers, etc. - as well as a calendar which marked important festivals, holidays and feast days. It was also common for these calendars or their illustrated borders to contain information detailing the appropriate agricultural activities for any time of year.
Books of Hours typically contained psalms, especially those relating to the monastic Divine Offices as well as those relating to penance. Often books of hours would be complemented by a 'psalter' which contained a much greater variety of the psalms. Alongside these was a selection from the four principle gospels of the New Testament designed to give at least a basic version of the Story of Christ.
