Excerpt from Specimen of an Improved Metrical Translation of the Psalms of David, Intended for the Use of the Presbyterian Church in Australia and New Zealand: With a Preliminary Dissertation, and Notes, Critical and Explanatory
In the English language, the version of Sternhold and Hopkins, which was written towards the close of the sixteenth century, and the name of which has long been synonymous with barbarism itself, became current in Great Britain during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and continued in general use, both in England and Scotland, till it was superseded by a much superior version, exe outed chiefly by an English Presbyterian of the name of Rous, at the instance of the Westminster Assembly during the long Parliament. That version having been adopted at the time by the church of Scotland, has ever since been in general use among the Presbyterians of that country, and of the North of Ireland. The version generally used in the Church of England, since the reign of Queen Anne, is that of Tate and Brady.
