Polyglot Bible: Psalms: Psalms 94

This is a polyglot scripture comparison resource presenting two adjacent psalms across four textual traditions side by side: the English King James Version with embedded Strong's concordance reference numbers, the Greek Septuagint, the Hebrew Masoretic text (Tanakh), and the Latin Vulgate. Because Hebrew/Protestant and Greek/Latin traditions number the Psalms differently, the KJV and Hebrew columns display Psalm 94 ("O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth"), while the Septuagint and Vulgate columns display what Protestant Bibles call Psalm 95 ("Come, let us sing to the Lord") — each tradition's Psalm 94 occupying the same slot. Psalm 94 is a communal lament calling on God as the divine judge to act against wicked oppressors who murder widows, foreigners, and orphans while arrogantly claiming God neither sees nor cares; it moves from urgent complaint through a theodicy argument (the God who made the ear must surely hear) toward confident assurance that God will not abandon his people and will repay evildoers. The LXX/Vulgate psalm in the parallel columns is an invitation to joyful communal worship of God as creator and king, closing with a sharp warning against hardening one's heart as Israel did during the wilderness test at Meribah. The Strong's numbers embedded throughout the KJV column identify this as a reference or study tool — likely output from concordance-integrated Bible software — designed for readers engaged in close textual comparison across major scriptural traditions rather than devotional reading.
