English: the Psalter of the American 1928 Book of Common Prayer, in the Coverdale tradition, from Charles Wohlers’s transcription hosted by the Society of Archbishop Justus.
Latin: the Psalterium Gallicanum as transmitted in the Clementine Vulgate, using the Clementine Vulgate Project’s Psalms source file preserved by BibleGet. This is the Gallican Psalter, Jerome’s revision using the Greek tradition, rather than the Psalterium Romanum, the iuxta Hebraicum, the Pian Psalter, or the Nova Vulgata.
The columns correspond by psalm or section, not by individual verse. Each text retains its own verse numbering, and the Latin column labels its Gallican psalm number. The Latin is a parallel witness, not a newly made translation of Coverdale’s English.
English and Gallican psalm numbering| Coverdale | Gallican |

| 114 / 115 | 113:1–8 / 113:9–26 |
| 116 | 114 and 115 |

| 148–150 | 148–150 |
The ranges follow this Clementine transcription, which counts the superscription of Psalm 9 as verse 1. English Psalm 119 is Latin Psalm 118; its twenty-two eight-verse sections follow the English daily appointments. The Latin source’s stanza names and superscriptions are retained.
The 1928 monthly distribution governs both columns. Day 31 repeats day 30; February ends on its actual last day, and each month starts again at day 1. These month-end conventions follow traditional practice; they are not spelled out in the American 1928 rubric. Proper Psalms for particular occasions are not substituted.
The underlying historical texts are public domain. Latin spelling and punctuation, including æ, œ, and the source’s use of j, are retained. Nineteen instances of a misencoded œ in the digital source have been repaired. Poetic line-break and stanza markup are adapted for display, and enclosing poetry brackets are omitted; no macrons or stress accents have been added. The source snapshot and extraction script are available for inspection.
The English text retains its Prayer Book numbering and source readings, including absent asterisks at Psalms 18:28 and 119:1 and a tilde at Psalm 109:21. This is a sourced electronic reading text, not a newly collated critical edition.
