The shortest verse in the Bible is also the shortest poem in the world

The Book of Psalms in the Hebrew Bible contains a single-line poem that reads: "A Psalm of David. For the director of music. According to my anxiety, thus I hastened." (Psalm 116:11). This poem has only six words in the original Hebrew, making it the shortest poem in existence. The Bible's brevity and simplicity have made it a subject of interest for scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
