Athanasius wrote to Marcellinus that the Psalter holds a psalm for every state of the soul, and named which. This page keeps to his method. Every line is quoted word for word from the Alexandria corpus and checked against its source before it was published; the psalms are the Septuagint, in Septuagint numbering, and the Fathers are public-domain translations. The Letter itself is quoted in short passages from the 1953 translation by a Religious of C.S.M.V., which remains in copyright and is used here under fair use. Nothing here is generated.
