Note: these figures do not account for verses "dropped" from some Bible translations (example: Matthew 18:11). Also, many of the Psalms have title/author information that is not numbered among the verses. In the chapter-by-chapter tally, these Psalms are noted with a plus (+), and the unnumbered information is accounted for as a separate number in the totals. For a more in-depth explanation, see the note in the Psalms chapter tally.
