To clarify, the verse counts are based on poetic verses in the original Hebrew, where a verse is defined as a bicolon (2 lines) or sometimes tricolon (3 lines) based on Hebrew parallelism, where each line repeats the other lines in a different manner. To get the verse count correct, I had to restore the poetic verses as in several cases the verse numbers of Bibles are incorrect. The verse counts do not include the headers of the Psalms, which act as more marginal notes similar to "qere" readings in Hebrew manuscripts.<br /><br />By verse count, the central verse of the Psalms is the following:<br /><br />And He consumed their days in vanity,<br />And their years in trouble (Ps. 78:33)<br /><br />Interestingly, by word count, the central verse of the Psalms is as follows:<br /><br />I have reckoned the days of old,<br />The years of ancient times (Ps. 77:5)<br /><br />Both of these verses contain the words "days" and "years", which occurs in 3 verses in the Psalm of Moses (Ps. 90) as well as Ps. 102:24. The word "reckon" in Ps. 77:5 is used for counting of years, thus it represents the counting of verses and words.<br /><br />Proceeding further, the middle letter of "anger" in Ps. 76:7 is the central letter, thus making the word "anger" the central word by letter count. Psalms 75 and 76 are of course the central Psalms by Psalm number.<br />Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030257666913290314.post-33190038101728273472018-10-18T02:51:05.152-04:002018-10-18T02:51:05.152-04:00Thank you Sherri!

I shared the evidence with a Muslim friend of mine, and he could not believe it, as they are all taught that the Bible has been altered or corrupted. This is the kind of work that you would use as a reference, as it is full of information for each Psalm. So maybe I will get back to blogging here, but I do need to publish the remaining volumes for Symbolism of the Psalms. However it is now tempting to take these method to other works of the Bible, I would not be surprised if these patterns appear in other portions of scripture. Appendices have computer scripts for anyone who wants to explore this for themselves.Doug Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071107950046910342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030257666913290314.post-44160986784612812562018-10-17T19:06:58.360-04:002018-10-17T19:06:58.360-04:00Thank you Doug for this 'labor of love'tha...Thank you Doug for this 'labor of love'that you've accomplished.I can only imagine, what time and effort, you have sacrificed for this book.
