I've been reading Miles Coverdale's translation of the psalms (the one that used to be printed at the back of the Book of Common Prayer). My impression is that his translation is regarded as being of great sylistic excellence (per CS Lewis), but rather lacking in accuracy. (I seem to remember that Coverdale didn't know Hebrew and translated mostly from the Vulgate.) Is my impression correct, or am I doing Coverdale a disservice? Bemer
