Editor: Christopher Shaw (submitted 2014-07-21).   Score information: A4, 11 pages, 99 kB   Copyright: Personal
Edition notes: This edition is offered in the earliest recorded key, for ATTB. It is also available transposed up a fourth for SATB. This edition has been prepared comparing the version in the Tudway collection with Barnard (1641), and incorporating elements from each. Barnard splits the psalm into three parts. It is unascertainable how much of an independent existence the three parts followed. Together they comprise the entire Deus misereatur, as prescribed in the liturgies of both 1549 and 1662 prayer books. It is unlikely that they were performed separately.
