Tate and Brady is used as shorthand for A New Version of the Psalms of David: fitted to the tunes used in Churches by Nicholas Brady and Nahum Tate, published in 1696. Tate was poet laureate of England, as well as being a playwright and an adapter of other authors' plays (he famously wrote a happy ending for King Lear). Brady was an Anglican clergyman, poet and author, born in Ireland. Their New Version of the Psalms replaced the Old Version of Sternhold and Hopkins.
