The Central Message

Psalm 118 is the Bible's middle chapter.

Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter and Psalm 119 is the longest.

 
The Bible has 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and the same number after it.

If you add up all the chapters except Psalm 118, you get 1188 chapters.

If you take the number 1188 and interpret it as chapter 118 verse 8, you will find the middle of the Bible 'It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.'
