I don't understand the last line here. You say #10 is Psalm 68, consisting of 36 vv and 708 words in the Authorized Version (AV, I assume). Then you say below it that the same Psalm has 35 verses and 680 words in the same version (AV) Is that a typo? I believe #10 should be Psalm 69, n'est-ce pas?
Thanks for spotting that. I've put it right now (I think).
Thanks for this useful list. I'm writing a series of short meditations on Psalm 78, suspected it might be the second-longest, and had it confirmed by your entry.
Is number 8 missing in this list, or is the just numbering faulty?
Sorry, wrong again. I think we're sorted now.
Congratulations. Google finds you when we search for "longest Psalms"!
Give thanks for this list. I needed it, in the name of Jesus. Just a bit overwhelmed I believe. Thank you.
I'm Karen, your welcome, it helped me just now.
Grateful for the list and corrections thereof.
And again, searching the same, Google finds you in 2024!

Short Psalms are like staccato notes for emphasis of important themes
Long notes dwell on longer important themes another way
