Kethe helped translate the Geneva Bible in 1560 and contributed twenty-five psalms to the 1561 Anglo-Genevan Psalter.[3] Only ten of these were retained in the 1562 English Psalter, while the 1564 Scottish Psalter retained all 25. Most of his Psalms were translations from French sources.[citation needed] His version of Psalm 100, The Old Hundredth, is universally known by its first line ("All People That on Earth Do Dwell").[2][4]
