Because Protestant and Catholic/Orthodox traditions number the Psalms differently, the KJV and Hebrew columns present Psalm 16 (\"A Michtam of David\"), while the Greek and Latin columns present what they call Psalm 16 \u2014 corresponding to Hebrew Psalm 17. Psalm 16 is a lyric of trust and contentment: the speaker declares God as their sole inheritance, rejoices in a \"goodly heritage,\" and closes with the celebrated verses affirming that God will not abandon the soul to Sheol nor let the Holy One see corruption \u2014 lines quoted messianically in the New Testament (Acts 2). The Greek and Latin text shown is instead a petition for deliverance from encircling enemies, invoking the speaker's tested integrity and asking God to \"guard me as the apple of the eye.\" The primary utility of this format is word-level cross-tradition comparison: the embedded Strong's numbers in the KJV column allow readers to trace each English word directly to its Hebrew root and then compare how the Septuagint and Vulgate rendered that root. A reader would want the full text mainly for detailed textual-critical or translation-comparison work rather than devotional reading.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Psalms: Psalms 16","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":795}
