Psalms

edit: I have been very slow at doing this mostly because I keep forgetting about it. I should be able to publish 1 or 2 each day until this is done, depending upon my memory and whatever else is happening.

This page is going to have a list to all of the Psalms from the Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision Bible with Haydock Commentary. There’s only a dozen or so that are actually finished, but I need to get this page up. Psalm numbers will be the Latin Vulgate numbering, consistent with the Douay-Rheims and I can put the NAB numbering in parentheses. Most people recognize the NAB numbering because I’m pretty sure that it’s the same as the KJV/NIV/RSV/JB/NJB. Don’t hold me to that, though. That’s just been my experience. I will also put links to other sections of poetry and prayers that I come across, such as the Songs and the Lord’s prayer and any other prayers that I discover in the notes. Differences in Psalm numbering explained at the bottom of this article.

The following was taken from Wikipedia because it’s a free resource and happens to be correct here. Article available HERE The Book of Psalms is divided into 150 Psalms, each of which constitutes a religious song or chant, though one or two are atypically long and may constitute a set of related chants. When the Bible was divided into chapters, each Psalm was assigned its own chapter. Psalms are sometimes referenced as chapters, despite that chapter assignments postdate the initial composition of the “canonical” Psalms by at least 1,500 years. The organization and numbering of the Psalms differs slightly between the (Masoretic) Hebrew and the (Septuagint) Greek manuscripts:

Hebrew Psalms Greek Psalms
1-8
9-10 9
11-113 10-112
114-115 113
116 114-115
117-146 116-145
147 146-147
148-150
  • Psalms 9 and 10 in the Hebrew are together as Psalm 9 in the Greek
  • Psalms 114 and 115 in the Hebrew are Psalm 113 in the Greek
  • Psalms 114 and 115 in the Greek appear as Psalm 116 in the Hebrew
  • Psalms 146 and 147 in the Greek form Psalm 147 in the Hebrew

Christian traditions vary:

  • Protestant translations are based on the Hebrew numbering;
  • Eastern Orthodox translations are based on the Greek numbering;
  • Roman Catholic official liturgical texts follow the Greek numbering, but modern Catholic translations often use the Hebrew numbering, sometimes adding, in parenthesis, the Greek numbering as well.

Most manuscripts of the Septuagint also include a Psalm 151, present in Eastern Orthodox translations; a Hebrew version of this poem was found in the Psalms Scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Psalms Scroll presents the Psalms in an order different from that found elsewhere, and also contains a number of non-canonical poems and hymns. For the remainder of this article, the Hebrew Psalm numbers will be used unless otherwise noted.
