Please note: Numbering of the Psalms differs — mostly by one digit, see tables — between the Hebrew (Masoretic) and Greek (Septuagint) manuscripts. Usage varies by tradition:
| Uses/used Greek numbering |
Uses/used Hebrew numbering |
- very early Protestant publications such as the 1524 Erfurt Enchiridion;
- Catholic ancient liturgical books (Roman Missals, Books of Hours, etc.);
- Eastern Orthodox translations;
- Peshitta tradition of the Syriac Orthodox Church (further recognizes five extra psalms — see en:Psalm 151 and en:Psalms 152–155).
|
- all traditions of Judaism;
- most Protestant translations (Lutheran, Anglican, Calvinist);
- modern Catholic Bible editions and books of liturgy, often indicating in brackets the Septuaginta/Vulgata numbering.
|
In categorizing, the Hebrew numbering should be used.
