The Hebrew and KJV columns present Psalm 64, a Davidic lament in which the speaker pleads for divine protection from conspirators who \"whet their tongue like a sword\" and shoot secretly at the innocent \u2014 a psalm that closes with the assurance that God will suddenly strike the wicked with their own weapons. The Septuagint and Vulgate columns, however, carry different content: a hymn of praise situated in Zion, confident in God as universal savior, followed by an extended agricultural poem celebrating God's watering of the earth, blessing of the harvest, and clothing of hills and valleys in abundance. This divergence is itself the document's most distinctive feature \u2014 it visually demonstrates the well-known numbering and content misalignment between the Hebrew and Greek psalm traditions, where LXX Psalm 64 corresponds to MT Psalm 65. The Septuagint and Vulgate headings also add a notable attribution absent from the Hebrew: the psalm is ascribed not only to David but to Jeremiah and Ezekiel, connecting it to the community of exile (\"populo transmigrationis\"). Someone deciding whether to read further would find this most useful as a source-critical or text-comparison resource, not as devotional reading of a single psalm.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Psalms: Psalms 64","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":700}
