Psalm Verse of the Day

Today's psalm verse is shown above. The page moves through all 150 psalms in order, one psalm a day, and shows the most searched verse from that day's psalm. After Psalm 150 it starts again at Psalm 1, so the cycle repeats every 150 days. The cycle began with Psalm 1 on 1 January 2026. Each verse links to the whole psalm, where you can read it in context.

The verse changes at midnight on your own device's clock. The text is the World English Bible, a public domain translation, and every psalm page also has the King James Version.

There is no editor picking a verse to suit the day. The order is fixed: day one is Psalm 1, day two is Psalm 2, and so on to Psalm 150. For each psalm, the verse shown is the one people search for most in the United States. For Psalm 1 that is verse 1. For Psalm 23 it is verse 4, the line about the valley of the shadow of death. Because the order is fixed, the verse is the same for every reader on the same date. It is not chosen to match a feast, a season or the news.

No. This page is not the Catholic daily reading. At Catholic Mass each day there is a Responsorial Psalm, a set passage from a psalm with a short refrain, and it is published with the day's readings by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. It is chosen separately and has no link to this page's 150 day cycle. If you want today's Catholic psalm, read it there. Every psalm page on this site does include the Catholic Douay-Rheims text, with its own psalm number.

A simple plan is to read the whole psalm behind each day's verse. Following this page, that takes you through all 150 psalms in 150 days. Most psalms take a few minutes. Psalm 119, with 176 verses, is much longer, so you may want to split it over a few days. Every psalm page has notes on its key verses, five study questions and a short prayer drawn from the psalm, which suit a daily devotional. Other daily plans exist. Chabad.org, for example, publishes a daily Tehillim portion made up of a few psalms.
