One of the more obvious clues that he was at least one of the translators is Psalm 46. The King James Bible was being prepared for printing in 1610, when Shakespeare was 46 years old. The 46th word in the psalm is "shake." Not counting Selah (the equivalent of Amen), the 46th word from the end is "spear." Although some scholars maintain that Shakespeare himself probably didn't do it, some one else likely did, as this variant appears in no other Biblical translation. So, just the fact that humans could slip in such an Easter egg seems to be proof that God was not inspiring the translations of his work, at least. Unless he has a mischievous sense of humor, like Satan. This reminds me of the story that Shakespeare was involved in the translation of the King James Bible.
