Excerpt from The Earliest Complete English Prose Psalter, Vol. 1: Together With Eleven Canticles and a Translation of the Athanasian Creed

The oldest English Psalter is anglo-saxon; only the first 50 Psalms are in Prose, and are ascribed to King Alfred. There are several Old English interlinear versions, glossing the Latin word by word and during the middle-english period the Psalter was repeatedly translated into English Verse.
