Psalm 118 is right in the center of the Bible. Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible. Psalm 118 is preceded by 594 chapters and followed by 594 chapters. If you add the numbers of the preceding chapters to the number of following chapters, you get a sum of 1188. Psalm 118:8 is the center verse which says: "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man."
