There is a systematic discrepancy in psalm numbering in different families of the Bible. In our data, we normally didn't verify which numbering system applies.

I would expect that medieval, orthodox and Catholic Bibles use the Septuagint numbering and that 19th c. and earlier translations are a mixed bunch. Most 20th c. Bible translations are, however, Evangelical and should use the masoretic numering.
