How to use the random Bible verse generator

New verse. Each tap picks a verse at random from 168 of the best-known verses of the Bible. A verse does not come back until at least a dozen others have been shown.
Topics. Choose one of twelve topics (hope, peace, love, strength, faith, comfort, fear and worry, forgiveness, thanksgiving, wisdom, healing, joy) and every new verse comes from that topic.
Copy and share. “Copy” puts the verse and its reference on your clipboard. “Share” opens your phone’s share menu, or copies the verse with a link.
Save as image. Makes a square picture of the verse, ready for a message, a status or a phone background.
A link for every verse. The address in your browser changes with the verse, so the link you send opens the same verse for the other person.

A simple way to pray with one verse

A single verse is enough for a few minutes of prayer. The old practice of lectio divina has four steps:

Read the verse slowly, twice. Notice the word or phrase that stays with you.
Reflect. Why that word, today? What is going on in your life that it touches?
Respond. Talk to God about it in your own words: thank, ask, say you are sorry, or simply tell him what is on your heart.
Rest for a minute in silence, and take the phrase with you into the day.

If you want a verse chosen for the day instead of a random one, see the Bible verse of the day.

About the translation

The verses are from the Douay-Rheims Bible in Bishop Challoner’s revision (1749–1752), for two centuries the standard English Bible of Catholics. It is in the public domain, so you may copy, print and share these verses freely.

Two things to know when you compare it with a modern Bible. First, the wording is older: “charity” where newer translations say “love”, “thee” and “thou” for “you”. Second, the Douay-Rheims numbers most psalms one lower than modern Bibles do. To make verses easy to find, the references here use the numbering most people know: “The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing” is listed as Psalm 23:1, although it is Psalm 22 in the Douay-Rheims itself.
