The Book of Psalms contains 150 chapters, traditionally counted as 150 individual psalms. It is the longest book in the Bible by chapter count in most standard Christian editions.
Psalms is a collection of religious poems, songs, prayers, and hymns rather than a single continuous narrative. Its poems express praise, thanksgiving, confidence, grief, repentance, and appeals for justice. Many are traditionally associated with King David, but the collection also includes works linked to figures such as Asaph and the sons of Korah.
The book is divided into five sections, or “books,” ending at Psalms 41, 72, 89, 106, and 150. These divisions likely reflect stages in the collection’s editing and compilation. Psalm 150 serves as the closing hymn, repeatedly calling worshippers to praise God with music and dancing.
A minor variation appears in some translations and traditions because the Hebrew and Greek numbering systems occasionally combine or divide individual psalms differently. Nevertheless, the standard English Bible count is 150, making that the canonical quiz answer.
