A fairly exhaustive search reveals no mention of William Shakespeare in the Psalms. ---- A different answer

The tradition that connects William Shakespeare with The Bible turns on the discovery that the Authorised Version (King James I of England's preferred version of the text) was revised in 1610 (when Shakespeare was 45) and that if you look at the text of Psalm 46 there is a way of counting that makes the 46th word from the begining SHAKES while the 46th word from the end is SPEAR.

This is quite a coincidence: but it probably is a coincidence. We have no reason for supposing that Shakespeare was in any way connected with the 1610 revision of the Authorised Version, and since there are multiple issues with Shakespeare's own faith (Shakespeare almost certainly had Roman Catholic sympathies, and may possibly even have been an agnostic) he would have been a most unlikely reviser for the authorities to commission.
