This is a scholarly parallel-text presentation of biblical psalms displayed across four textual traditions simultaneously: the King James Version (with embedded Strong's Concordance reference numbers), the Greek Septuagint, the Hebrew Masoretic Text (Tanakh with cantillation marks), and the Latin Vulgate. The left column (KJV) presents Psalm 111, a hymn praising God's works, faithfulness, and covenant, culminating in the declaration that "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." The remaining three columns present what is textually Psalm 112 in the LXX/Vulgate versional tradition — a wisdom poem about the blessed righteous man who fears God, whose descendants prosper and whose righteousness endures forever — illustrating the well-known off-by-one psalm numbering divergence between the Hebrew and Greek/Latin traditions. The distinctive feature of this presentation is the juxtaposition of these versional differences without editorial comment, letting the four textual witnesses speak in parallel; the KJV column's Strong's numbers additionally layer a lexical-reference dimension suited to word-study or translation comparison. It would interest students of biblical textual criticism, interlinear Bible study, or anyone researching how psalm numbering and content shifted across manuscript traditions.
