This is a parallel-text biblical resource presenting one or two Psalms attributed to David across four major scriptural traditions simultaneously: the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Tanakh), the Greek Septuagint (LXX), the Latin Vulgate, and the King James Version in English. The KJV and Hebrew columns present Psalm 35, a lament in which the speaker calls on God as divine warrior to fight his enemies, curse those who persecute him unjustly, and vindicate his righteousness — alternating between urgent petition, descriptions of betrayal by false friends, and vows of praise. The Greek and Latin columns present what corresponds to Psalm 36 (Hebrew)/Psalm 35 (LXX/Vulgate numbering), a thematically distinct psalm contrasting the inner life of the wicked ("no fear of God before his eyes") with extravagant praise of God's steadfast love, justice, and life-giving light. The juxtaposition of all four columns — with the Hebrew and Greek including Strong's concordance numbers and diacritical marks — signals this is a scholarly or devotional reference tool designed for comparative textual study rather than devotional reading of a single translation. Its most distinctive feature is the deliberate exposure of the traditional psalm-numbering divergence between Hebrew and Greek/Latin traditions, which arises from ancient differences in how the Psalter was divided and compiled.
