"The ''Hymn Tune Index'' indicates that this tune (''HTI'' tune number 367a) was first published in a printed source for use with an English-language hymn text in the 1621 edition of Thomas Ravenscroft's The Whole Booke of Psalmes (Thomas Ravenscroft). In that book, the tune was named 'Excester', and was used with the texts 'O Lord, within thy tabernacle' (the earlier version of Thomas Sternhold's metrical version of Ps. 15) and 'Thy praise alone, O Lord, doth reign' (John Hopkins' metrical version of Ps. 65). The ''HTI'' concludes that the tune is 'Probably by Thomas Ravenscroft'. In William Turner's 1728 revision of ''The Whole Book of Psalms'', which was titled ''The Whole Book of Psalm-Tunes, in four parts'', the tune name was updated to 'Exeter', and the text was amended to begin 'Within thy tabernacle, Lord'. In both the 1621 and 1728 publications, the air is given in the tenor part."
