Scripture and the Devotions
Scripture
Scripture holds the choices about the psalms and the readings.
On Apple TV, these choices are in Customize the Liturgy, under The Invitatory and Psalter and The Lessons. The NRSVue’s Readings keep paragraphs and notes, without Greek or Hebrew.
- Lectionary: The BCP (1979) reads the Daily Office Lectionary. The 1662 and 1871 Tables of Lessons read older tables by the date, two Lessons at each office, in the King James Version.
- Greek and Hebrew shows the original words under each verse of the Lessons and the Psalms.
- Psalter: the BCP’s own, or Coverdale (1662), in traditional language.
- Psalm Cycle: As Appointed says the psalms the lectionary appoints. 30-Day Cycle says the whole Psalter in a month.
Below them, with the BCP’s own lectionary, Readings at Morning Prayer and Readings at Evening Prayer set which Reading each office reads first, second and third. Last, under Verse numbers, are Psalm verse numbers, Reading Layout and Reading verse numbers. The NRSVue’s Readings keep paragraphs and notes, without Greek or Hebrew.

Daily Devotions
Daily Devotions holds the BCP’s four choices for its Daily Devotions:
- Said with others marks the parts one person reads and the parts everyone says together.
- Psalms and Readings: As Printed, or the Daily Office Lectionary’s, at the morning and early evening devotions.
- Collect: As Printed, or the Collect of the Day.
- The Creed in the morning adds the Apostles’ Creed to the morning devotion.
On Apple TV, these four are in Settings itself, under Daily Devotions.
