English: the Psalter of the American 1928 Book of Common Prayer, from Charles Wohlers’s transcription. Greek: Henry Barclay Swete’s The Old Testament in Greek according to the Septuagint, volume II, third edition (1907), using the LXX-Swete-1930 database maintained by Eliran Wong, with text supplied by Pasquale Amicarelli. Accents, breathings, superscriptions, and the source’s punctuation are retained.
The columns correspond by psalm or section, not by individual verse. The Greek column labels its own Septuagint psalm number. The Septuagint is an independent ancient textual witness; it is not the Greek original of Coverdale’s English, and differences in wording are to be expected.
English and Greek psalm numbering| Coverdale | Septuagint |
|---|
| 1–8 | 1–8 |
| 9 / 10 | 9:1–21 / 9:22–39 |
| 11–113 | 10–112 |
| 114 / 115 | 113:1–8 / 113:9–26 |
| 116 | 114 and 115 |
| 117–146 | 116–145 |
| 147 | 146 and 147 |
| 148–150 | 148–150 |
The verse ranges above follow this Swete transcription, which counts the superscription of Greek Psalm 9 as verse 1. English Psalm 119 is Greek Psalm 118; its twenty-two eight-verse sections follow the English daily appointments. Psalm 151 falls outside the 1928 cycle and is not displayed.
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.
Swete’s main text omits the numbered entries at Greek Psalms 43:8, 54:6, 63:3, 115:5, 117:4, 118:51, and 135:23. Each is explicitly marked in the reader. These gaps were checked against the printed edition; readings from another edition have not been silently inserted.
