The Psalter of Henry VIII is a 16th-century illuminated psalter that belonged to Henry VIII of England. It is now in the British Library as MS Royal 2 A xvi. The king commissioned the book in the early 1540s from the French illuminator , who had at one time worked for Francis I. The psalter contains eight miniatures, amongst them scenes of Henry playing the harp with his jester Will Somers in attendance, and of the king reading in his bedroom. Two scenes show Henry as King David: in one killing Goliath, in the other in the role of a penitent. The book has marginal annotations made by the king.

| - Il salterio di Enrico VIII è un manoscritto miniato appartenuto a Enrico VIII d'Inghilterra. Il libro fu commissionato dal re all'inizio degli anni '40 del XVI secolo al miniatore francese , che aveva già lavorato per Francesco I di Francia, e contiene 7 scene miniate, come quella in cui Enrico suona l'arpa alla presenza del giullare di corte Will Somers, o quella in cui è raffigurato mentre legge nella sua camera da letto. In due scene Enrico VIII è ritratto come re Davide: nella prima mentre uccide Golia, nella seconda nel ruolo di un penitente. Il manoscritto inoltre riporta annotazioni a margine fatte dallo stesso re. (it)

Psałterz ma wymiary 205×140 mm i służył władcy do prywatnej dewocji. W liście dedykacyjnym otwierającym księgę Mallard porównał Henryka VIII do biblijnego króla Dawida. Także część spośród 8 zdobiących psałterz miniatur przedstawia Tudora jako izraelskiego monarchę, m.in. grającego na harfie i czytającego w swojej sypialni. Na marginesach znajdują się sporządzone własnoręcznie przez Henryka adnotacje i uwagi, np. odnoszący się do przemijania życia fragment : Byłem dzieckiem i jestem już starcem (Ps 37,25) został opatrzony łacińskim komentarzem dolens dictum.
