Polyglot Bible: Psalms: Psalms 28

This is a parallel Bible display presenting psalm texts across four canonical traditions and languages: the King James Version (English, with embedded Strong's concordance reference numbers), the Septuagint (Greek), the Tanakh (Hebrew), and the Latin Vulgate. The KJV and Hebrew columns present Psalm 28, a lament and petition attributed to David in which the psalmist urgently begs God not to remain silent, asks that the wicked receive punishment commensurate with their deeds, and then pivots to praise upon expressing confidence that God has heard his prayer. Distinctively, the Septuagint and Vulgate columns display different content — what English Bibles know as Psalm 29, the thunderous hymn to God's voice over waters, breaking the cedars of Lebanon and shaking the wilderness — quietly illustrating the well-known psalm-numbering discrepancy between the Masoretic Hebrew text and the Greek/Latin traditions. The Strong's concordance numbers embedded in the KJV column signal this is drawn from a scholarly or study-Bible resource oriented toward word-level cross-textual analysis. A reader deciding whether to engage fully would find this most valuable as a reference tool for comparative textual study rather than as an interpretive or devotional work — its interest lies in the side-by-side divergence of the traditions, not in any argument it makes about them.
