Psalter of the Roman Breviary
Where letters follow the number of a Psalm
(e.g. 65a, 65b), the Psalm verses are divided as evenly as possible, to
preserve the customary number of Psalms at each hour. With the
sole exception of the Canticle on Sunday (Daniel 3: 57-88), all Psalms
and divided Psalms end in the "Glory be to the Father...."
