Psalms Ordered By First Line

In the time the Old and New Testaments were written they were not organized into books and chapters instead rather they were referenced by their first line.

For example when Jesus said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" he was not meaning it literally but was actually referencing that he completed the prophesy in Psalm 22. 

You often see the Psalms listed in order by number but not often by first line. I hope you find this resource useful in your study of the bible.
