How many Psalms are there?
Answer: 150.
The Book of Psalms is a set of religious poems found in the Bible. There are usually 150 Psalms in most Bibles, but different religious groups might have a different number of Psalms.
Most Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant Bibles have 150 Psalms. However, some older translations of the Bible have an extra Psalm, making it 151. The Catholic Church still uses only 150 Psalms in its services, even though some Catholic Bibles include the extra one.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has its own special set of Psalms. They have a total of 155 Psalms, which includes the 151 Psalms from older translations and four more unique to their tradition.
So, while most people use 150 Psalms, some religious groups have a slightly different number. The Psalms are important for worship, prayer, and thinking about spiritual things for many people.
