Thomas Sternhold (c. 1500 – 1549) was the principal author of the first English metrical version of the Psalms, originally attached to the Prayer-Book as augmented by John Hopkins. He was a groom of the robes to Henry VIII and Edward VI. Quotes The Lord descended from above And bow’d the heavens high;And underneath his feet he cast The darkness of the sky.On cherubs and on cherubims Full royally he rode;And on the wings of all the winds Came flying all abroad. A Metrical Version of Psalm 104, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919). External links Sternhold and Hopkins Psalter. Category:Poets from England Category:1549 deaths
