Bible Quiz: Psalm 19 (Fill in the Blanks)
Psalm 19 is one of Scripture’s most beautifully layered
psalms—moving from creation’s silent witness, to God’s perfect law, and finally
to personal prayer and surrender. It challenges both the heart and the mind,
making it an ideal chapter for serious Bible study.
This quiz is designed not merely to test memory, but to
sharpen discernment, expose translation assumptions, and reward close reading.
Whether you are a long-time student of Scripture, a teacher, or someone who
enjoys stretching your biblical knowledge, these questions will push you beyond
surface familiarity into true textual mastery.
🧠 How This Quiz Is Structured
The quiz is divided into multiple escalating sections,
each designed to test a different level of understanding. You may complete them
in order—or jump straight to the hardest section if you’re feeling confident.
✍️ Section 1: Fill in the Blanks (Multiple Choice)
Purpose:
To reinforce accurate verse recall while introducing
subtle wording distinctions.
Instructions:
Choose the single best answer that completes each
verse.
Options may include near-synonyms or phrases drawn from
other Bible translations.
Only one answer matches the reference translation used
in the quiz.
Tip:
Read carefully—many wrong answers are biblical, just
not correct for this verse.
🔥 Section 2: EXTREME / “Trick-the-Scholar” Mode
Purpose:
To challenge advanced readers by exploiting translation
traps, parallel phrases, and cross-verse confusion.
Instructions:
Still multiple choice, but all options sound plausible.
Some answers reflect KJV, ESV, or NRSV wording, while
only one matches the target text.
Expect questions that test sequence, pairing, and
precise phrasing.
Tip:
Do not rely on familiarity alone—mentally reconstruct
the verse before answering.
🧠⚔️ Section 3: NO-HINTS / NO-OPTIONS — Scholar Mode
Purpose:
To test pure textual mastery without any external cues.
Instructions:
No choices are given.
Write the exact missing word(s) from the verse.
Synonyms, paraphrases, or alternate translations are
marked incorrect.
Tip:
This section separates knowing the message from knowing
the text.

after each section, allowing you to:

Deepen your study rather than just checking scores
We encourage readers to open their Bible alongside the

Psalm 19 reminds us that God speaks through creation,
