Ideas for Verses

We need your help to make Verses even better!

Psalm 119 section titles (ALEPH, BETH, etc.) come at the end of the verse from the preceding section instead of the beginning of the first verse of the successive section (KJV)

Beth,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It appears that different copies
of the KJV text handle this issue in different ways--at biblegateway.com,
for example, the alphabetic labels are not present in the text at all. This
looks like an issue that we will have to confront and deal with manually. I
will bring it up with our team and we may be able to manually move these
portions of the Psalms into their appropriate places. If we do so, we will
note the change in the notes section for any updates that appear in the app
store.

As you mentioned, we hope you can find Verses useful for other portions of
the biblical text that are not quite as confusing. Keep memorizing!

Take care,

Tom Kent
