[Joshua Holman]

In some of the Psalms in the RSV, it seems that the Psalm title is 
considered the first verse throwing off the number of verses in that 
Psalm off by one.

An example is Psalm 23:

1 A Psalm of David. 2 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; 3 he 
makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; 4 
he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his 
name's sake. 5 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of 
death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they 
comfort me. 6 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my 
enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.
[ (Psalms 23:7) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days 
of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. ]

In my view, it should be this way:

1 <<A Psalm of David.>> The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want; 2 he 
makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters; 3 
he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his 
name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of 
death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they 
comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my 
enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and 
I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.


I have two printed copies of the RSV and the Psalm title is not 
considered a verse.

This happens in Psalms 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 
18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 
37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 
56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 72. 73, 74, 
75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 92, 98, 
100, 101, 102, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 
125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 138, 139, 140, 141, 
142, 143, 144, and 145.

Also Rev 22:21 is repeated twice.
