Middle Chapter in the Bible - Psalm 117
The truth is there are 31,102 (or 31,103*) verses in the King James Bible. Therefore there is no single middle verse. You cannot have a middle verse with an even number of verses.
However there are two middle verses. These would be verses 15,551 and 15,552
(Psalms 103:1-2.) BLESS the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits

The next time someone says they would like to find God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to be in the center of His will, just send them to the center of His Word!
Psalms 118:8
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."
Now isn't that odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?
