"'The psalter, or, Psalmes of David: according to the last translation in King James his time. Pointed as they shall be said ...' has separate title page dated 1636. Variant: this title lacks the word 'Pointed'. Another setting of the Psalter (in STC 16607) has 'After the translation set forth by authority in King James his time of blessed memory', and there is no catchword on 2k6v."--ESTC.

"A noticeable feature is that The Psalmes of King David ... (London, T. Harper, 1636. STC 2736) is frequently found found with copies of this Prayer Book ... Presumably Young, the printer, ordered a consignment ... to be bound with the Prayer Book, since it is found in copies with waste sheets used in the binding."--The Bibliotheck 5 (1967), p. 19.

Later editions were issued by the Epsicopal Church in Scotland.
