Polyglot Bible: Psalms: Psalms 75

This is a scholarly parallel-text presentation of biblical psalms displayed in four columns across four distinct textual traditions: the King James Version (KJV), the Greek Septuagint (LXX), the Hebrew Tanakh, and the Latin Vulgate. The KJV and Hebrew columns present Psalm 75, a psalm of Asaph with the superscription "Al-taschith" ("Do Not Destroy"), while the Septuagint and Vulgate columns present the adjacent Psalm 76, subtitled "against the Assyrian" in both Greek and Latin traditions — a difference reflecting the well-known one-digit numbering divergence between Hebrew/Protestant and LXX/Vulgate psalm enumeration. Psalm 75's content centers on God as the sovereign judge who humbles the proud and exalts the righteous, with vivid imagery of a foaming cup of divine wrath that the wicked are forced to drink to its dregs. Psalm 76 (in LXX/Vulgate) celebrates God's fearsome military victory dwelling in Zion, where he shattered the weapons of war, and calls on surrounding peoples to bring offerings to the God who strips breath from princes. The distinctive feature of this document is its juxtaposition of all four witnesses side-by-side, including Strong's concordance numbers embedded in the KJV column — a format associated with interlinear or critical polyglot Bible tools used by scholars and serious students comparing textual traditions, translation choices, and manuscript variants across the Hebrew, Greek, and Latin canons.
