Myles CoverdaleÕs translation of the Psalms is one of the most enduringÑalthough the rest of the Bible was replaced by the Authorized Version in the Church of England, CoverdaleÕs familiar translation remained in the Book of Common Prayer, and remains so to this day in England. ¦ This edition follows the text in the English 1662 BCP, and also contains the canticles for morning and evening prayer.
This edition of the Psalms is subtly lined to facilitate chanting; notation of a tone from the Sarum Tonale is given with each psalm.
