This is a scholarly parallel Bible text presenting two adjacent Psalms — Psalm 109 and Psalm 110 — displayed simultaneously across four ancient versions: the King James Version (with Strong's Concordance numbers), the Septuagint (Greek), the Tanakh (Hebrew), and the Latin Vulgate. The format reflects the well-known numbering discrepancy between the Hebrew/Protestant tradition and the LXX/Vulgate tradition, where the same psalm carries different numbers across traditions. The KJV and Hebrew columns present Psalm 109, one of the most intense imprecatory (curse) psalms in the Psalter, in which David calls on God not to remain silent while enemies attack him unjustly — then launches into an extended series of curses on his adversary: may his days be few, his wife a widow, his children fatherless beggars, his very name erased. The psalm then pivots to a vulnerable personal plea, describing the psalmist as physically wasted and publicly mocked, before closing in confidence that God will vindicate the poor. The Greek and Latin columns present Psalm 110 ("The LORD said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand"), a brief but theologically dense royal psalm declaring the king's divine enthronement and eternal priesthood "after the order of Melchizedek" — one of the most cited Old Testament texts in the New Testament. The resource is aimed at serious biblical scholars or students who need to cross-reference textual traditions and versification systems simultaneously.
