(Vol. ix., p. 271.)
For the gratification of your correspondent J. M., I give you the result of an enumeration of the letters and sounds in three versions of the Hundredth Psalm in Welsh, and three corresponding versions of it in English.
1. From the authorised translations of the Bible, Welsh and English.
2. The metrical version of Tate and Brady, and that of Archdeacon Prys.
3. Dr. Watts's metrical version and a Welsh imitation of it.
