Résumé

This article begins with an investigation of the Psalter of the 1568 Bishops’ Bible and its several unhappy features. The Psalter is then placed in the history of Reformation English Bibles and the growth of English metrical psalmody. Finally, an attempt is made to reconstruct the rationale of Archbishop Matthew Parker’s dealings with the Psalms over several years in the light of his own 1568 metrical translation.
