To Correspondents: Numbering of Verses in Psalms

The numbering in the verses of the Psalms is correct in the new version, not in the Authorized Bible. If the reckoning were kept up as in it, the tendency would be to perpetuate the common error that the titles, where they exist, are not an integral part of the psalms. From not beginning with them the great majority of readers are apt to forget that they are part of what the Spirit has given us. Hence in reading the book even publicly they are commonly passed over, as if they were only human, like the headings of the chapters in the English Bible.
