Using the KJV, counting verse only, there are 31,102 verses.
Since that's an even number, there can be no 'center' verse, but the center falls between:
PSALM 103:1 and PSALM 103:2
Another view could be argued as thus:
Using the KJV, counting chapters only, Psalm 117 is the "center" chapter, consisting of only two verses. Again an even number, having no exact center verse, the center verses of the center chapter would fall between:
PSALM 117:1 and PSALM 117:2
It's simple math. PSALM 117 basically says "Praise the Lord"
Another thought:
Though there is much controversy over this, some people feel that Psalms 118:8 is exactly in the middle of The Bible, with 594 chapters before and 594 chapters after it. The scripture reads: "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."(Psalm 118:8 KJV)

Honey, the Bible doesn't have a "middle verse" because it's not a sandwich. However, if you're looking for a central verse, some say it's Psalm 118:8: "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans." But hey, feel free to interpret it however you like, sweetie.
The middle chapter is Psalm 118.
Psalms 119
Arguably, the verse in the exact middle of the Bible is Psalm 118:8. It says: "It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man." (NIV)
There is not one verse in the middle, there are 2. The 15,586, and 15,587 verses are the middle ones. It's in the Old Testament. There are about 23k+ verses in Old, so about 8k from the end. Find out the number of verses in each chapter, and you got your answer.
