In parentheses
are alternate names for the Book in question. Books with a red mark are called
"deuterocanonical" by the Catholic Church and "apocryphal" by Protestants,
who've removed them from their Bibles. The first five Books of the Bible,
the Law, are also called "Torah" and the "Pentateuch".

Note that Catholics
and Protestants number the Psalms differently. Traditional Catholic Bibles,
including the Vulgate, which is the "official Catholic Bible," and the
Douay-Rheims follow the older numbering of the Septuagint. Protestants and,
sadly, some post-concilar translations, follow the numbering used by 6th
-10th c. (A.D.) Jewish rabbis. The chart below compares those two numbering
systems:
