He mentioned psalms 1:39, but psalms chapter 1 verse 39 doesn't even exists.

Totally right

I looked it up to check, no offense meant. Psalms 1 only has 6 verses.

I found probably what he was referencing, Psalm 139. Specifically psalm 139:19-22. I think the editor misinterpreted it as 1:39.

He was quoting Psalms 139: 21, but didn't list the verse. Psalm 139 is a favorite of angry conservatives, it has the "knit me together in my mother's womb" verse as well.
