This is a parallel-text biblical resource presenting two adjacent Psalms (77 and 78 in the Hebrew/Protestant tradition) simultaneously across four textual traditions: the King James Version (with embedded Strong's concordance numbers), the Greek Septuagint, the Hebrew Masoretic text (Tanakh), and the Latin Vulgate. The KJV column renders Psalm 77, a personal lament by Asaph expressing spiritual desolation and sleepless anguish before pivoting to confident remembrance of God's ancient wonders—the Exodus theophany, the parting of the sea, and the leading of Israel through the wilderness under Moses and Aaron. The Greek, Latin, and (partially visible) Hebrew columns shift to the lengthy historical survey of Psalm 78, which recounts Israel's repeated cycles of rebellion, divine punishment, and mercy from Egypt through the settlement of Canaan, culminating in God's rejection of Ephraim and election of the tribe of Judah and David as shepherd-king. The distinctive scholarly value lies in the side-by-side comparison of versional divergences—including the well-known LXX/Vulgate versus MT/KJV psalm-numbering offset—and the presence of Strong's numbers, making this a reference tool for those doing source-critical or translational study of the Psalter rather than devotional reading.
