A chapter grid that opens inside the book list
Psalm is expanded inside the same Books list. Its chapters appear as a grid of square tiles, starting with an information tile before chapter 1, while Esther and Hiob (Job) stay visible above.

Design takeaway
This is the same accordion structure observed in Mere Bible: book context stays visible while choosing. An introduction tile gives a book overview without leaving the picker; make sure it is clearly not chapter 0.
