text: Catholic and Protestant Psalm numbers vary due to following different traditions for dividing and numbering the Psalms.
	
	# **"Greek numbering"** The numbering of Psalms in the Greek Septuagint (LXX) translation. The oldest existing manuscript of the Septuagint is from the 4th century A.D. This numbering system was carried over into the Latin Vulgate (V) translation and most other Catholic translations.
	
	# **"Hebrew numbering"** The numbering of the Psalms in the Aramaic and Hebrew Masoretic Text (MT). The oldest existing manuscript of the Masoretic Text is from the 9th century A.D. This numbering system is used in Protestant Bible translations and some Catholic translations published in the United States.
