While it is the "Book of Psalms," I think it is more proper to say "Psalm
One" instead of "Psalms One" because you are simply designating which psalm
(or song) to which you are referring, not a chapter in a book. That is the
way, of course, each is denominated in our translations.

Mitch:

The LXX has the book of PSALMOI (Psalms). Mounce is
giving the reference which is to the Book of Psalms
(plural). When I preach I alway say "Psalms One, or
Two, etc.) not Psalm One. I say the twenty-third Psalm
(singular) but Psalms 23 (plural)
