Author Description

Excerpt from The Paragraph Psalter: Arranged for the Use of Choirs The verse-division of the Psalms in the Prayer Book offers many difficulties in the way of their musical rendering. This differs considerably from the division in the Hebrew text, which is followed in the Bible Version. Where the Prayer Book division seriously obscured the structure of the Psalms, I have ventured to alter it (e. G. I, 3 f; iv, 6 f; v, 9 f; vii, 9 f; xvi, 4 f; xix, 14 f; xlviii, 2; lxiii, 1 f; lxxi, 1, 9; lxxviii, 38 f; xcii, 7; xcviii, 1 f; cxvi, 13, 16; cxxxix, I. In other cases I have not thought it well to disturb the existing arrangement (e. G. X, 9 f; xi, 4 f; xv, 5 ff; xviii, 1, 43; xxii, 29 f; xxvii, 6 f, 10 f; xxviii, 14f; xxx, 6 f, 9 f; xxxi, 2 f; xxxix, 13 f; xliv, 21; xciii, 1 f; cv, 34; cxx, though it might have been better to restore the division of lxxiii, 12, and to conform cviii, 8, 9 to the parallel 1x, 7, 8.
