What is the longest chapter in the Bible?

• A. Psalm 118
• B. Psalm 110
• C. Psalm 119
• D. Psalm 117

Answer: (C)

Chapters vary in length, and we measure that by the number of verses. Psalm 119 is the longest, with 176 verses, more than any other chapter. It’s also an acrostic poem arranged around the Hebrew alphabet, divided into 22 sections (Aleph through Tav), each with eight verses, all focused on honoring and deeply meditating on God’s Word. That expansive structure matches its theme of the Law and guidance, showing how central God’s Word is to life. The other chapters listed are significantly shorter, so they don’t come close to Psalm 119 in length.
