This is a scholarly polyglot presentation of a biblical psalm, displaying parallel texts across four canonical traditions: the Hebrew Tanakh (abbreviated "Tan"), the Greek Septuagint ("Sep"), the Latin Vulgate ("Vul"), and the King James Version ("KJV"), with Strong's concordance numbers embedded in the KJV column. The central content is liturgical praise poetry addressed to God (the LORD/YHWH), celebrating divine mercy, deliverance from enemies, and God's eternal lovingkindness. A striking textual discrepancy is built into the layout: the KJV and Hebrew show only two verses (Psalm 117), while the Septuagint and Vulgate display 29 verses — this reflects the well-known psalm-numbering divergence between the Masoretic Hebrew tradition and the LXX/Vulgate, where Protestant Psalm 118 corresponds to Catholic/Orthodox Psalm 117. The longer Greek and Latin texts contain several passages of major theological significance, including the "rejected stone become cornerstone" verse (later applied to Christ in the New Testament), "This is the day the Lord has made," and "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." The document would be of primary interest to biblical scholars, theologians, or students comparing canonical textual traditions and versification systems across Jewish and Christian scriptural history.
