About the Book of Psalms
Psalms is the Bible's longest book by chapter count: 150 chapters, each one a separate psalm, totaling 2,461 verses -- more than any other book in either testament. The psalms vary enormously in length and form: some are only a few lines (Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the whole Bible, at two verses), while Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, an extended acrostic running 176 verses. They range across prayer, praise, lament, and reflection, traditionally attributed to several authors including David, Asaph, and the sons of Korah, though this site does not attach that attribution data to individual verses -- it draws on the verse text alone.
How the roll works
This roller is scoped to a single book, so the odds are simpler than the main generator's two-step book-then-verse draw: every one of Psalms' 2,461 verses has an equal 1-in-2,461 chance on each roll, drawn with the Web Crypto API's cryptographically-secure random number generator and unbiased rejection sampling, never Math.random(). Rolling again excludes your last 10 results, so you'll see 10 distinct verses from across the book before anything can repeat. Want the full canon instead of just Psalms? Roll from the whole Bible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this roll from all 150 psalms, or just the well-known ones?
All of them. Every one of the 2,461 verses across all 150 psalms has exactly the same chance of coming up -- there's no weighting toward famous psalms like 23 or 91 and no exclusion of the long acrostic Psalm 119 or the short two-verse psalms.
Which translation is this?
World English Bible (WEB) — public domain. Psalm superscriptions (the short editorial headings some psalms carry, like "A Psalm of David") are not included as part of the verse text in this data, so what you see here is the psalm's actual numbered verses only.
Can I see the psalm's surrounding verses, not just the one line?
Yes -- press "Show context" to reveal up to two verses on either side, clipped so it never spills into the previous or next chapter.
How is this different from the main Random Bible Verse Generator?
It's the same roller, engine, and randomness source, just scoped to one book: picking "Psalms only" from the homepage's book filter gives you the identical result as this page.
Every result here is drawn live in your browser with cryptographically-secure randomness -- nothing is predetermined, saved, or replayable. See the Terms.
