Tate and Brady

Tate and Brady (1696) refers to the New Version of the Psalms of David of (1696), which was a collaboration of the poets Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady. These metrical versions of the Psalms largely replaced the older versions of T. Sternhold and J. Hopkins’ Psalter. Because of the association between the authors and the collection, the work itself is sometimes referred to as “Tate and Brady”.

Tate’s well-known Christmas carol While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night first appeared in A Supplement to the New Version of the Psalms by Dr Brady and Mr Tate (1700).
