Sternhold

Sternhold, THOMAS (d; 1549), first verse translator of the Psalms, was born in Hampshire, and became an Oxford graduate. During his life, of which little is known, he held some important offices, including that of Groom of the Robes to Henry VIII. and Edward VI. In 1548 he issued, in conjunction with Hopkins, his version of the Psalms, and this has been often reprinted. It is the only work which has handed down Sternhold's name.
