Quote: Shakespeare was in King James' service during the preparation of the King James Bible, and was generally considered to be 46 years old in 1611 when the translation was completed.

The question would have to be asked whether or not the KJV backs into the original Hebrew and Aramaic texts. As far as I know, it does mostly back in. The key differences are translation errors introduced in the KJV to artificially (and quite deliberately) paint jesus into the Hebrew bible.

If there are additional psalms in the Christian texts, then maybe. Or maybe Shakespeare assisted with the shoddy translation.
