Chronological Psalms

Compare One Year Bible vs. Daily Bible for the book of Psalms

This document supplements my Comparison of all the books of the Bible as shown in Chrononlogical order by the One Year Bible (OYB) and the Daily Bible (DB). This page focuses on the location of the book of Psalms as it is scattered among the other books in these Bibles. Note that if multiple Psalms are listed together they are always listed in numerical order. There is no attempt in either book to figure out the order chronologically for these closly placed Psalms.

The chronology was chosen to be the One Year Bible as all references in this Bible claim to be chronological while the majority of the Psalms in the Daily Bible are arranged in a Topical Collection of David's Psalms.

Other topical lists of Psalms

Daily Bible has two other lists that are shown in the chronological section. These lists include the Exile Palms collected in a list during the exile period and a list of Psalms about the Nation Restored.

The One Year Bible also has a list of Psalms near the end that they call the Nation Restored. The notes indicate that the chronology of this grouping cannot be determined but they are likely written during this period. They are also shown above in place they appear in the OYB.
