[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick and Jim,

I am not sure from looking at the NIV case that there is any difference
in the text it self and it looks like a pure rendering convention to
center the last line that ends a "book" in Psalms unless that line is a
"discourse marker" type of text like "Praise the LORD".

Are there other cases?

Todd
