Sidney writes her psalms using language that can be easily read through the land. She states that all shall rejoice and that the good with gladness will see the revenge thrown upon the wicked. Coverdale however shows a psalm that would have been appropriate for a select few. One sees this with the use of words such as “The righteous shall” (10), and “ Verily there is fruite for the righteous:” (11). It appears, that for Coverdale, good man is too much of a subjective term and thus anyone, whether good or evil, can rejoice from revenge. His use of the word righteous in the psalm now then tells the reader that not all will see vengeance, but rather only those that are morally upright and excellent. Whether is be the image of the adder, or the usage of grammatical roles, both psalms written by Sidney and Coverdale, paint to the reader what they want to show. It is with their similarities in structure and ideas that they connect, and with their language, that they differ
