The most ancient + venerable portion of the Breviary is the Psalter. In the Middle Ages the psalms were usually recited throughout the week according to several different patterns. As a result the psalms in the Breviaries may be arranged in their biblical = numerical order, or in their liturgical order. When arranged in the later way they form a ferial Psalter. Psalm 1 - beatus vir qui non abiitin consilio impiorum.... Psalm 2 - Psaltmus David quare fremuerunt gentes et populi meditati sunt inania .... Psalm 4 - in finem in carminibus psalmus David cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus institae meae in tribulatione dilatasti mihi misserere mei ex exaudi orationem meam.... Psalm 95 Venite, exultemus.
