Polyglot Bible: Psalms: Psalms 145

This is a parallel-text scholarly presentation of Psalm 145 (Hebrew/KJV tradition) displayed in four columns: the King James Version with embedded Strong's concordance numbers, the Greek Septuagint (LXX), the Hebrew Masoretic text (Tanakh), and the Latin Vulgate. The Hebrew/Tanakh column preserves the psalm's famous acrostic structure, with each verse beginning on a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The KJV column presents a hymn of unceasing praise to God as king, cataloguing divine attributes — compassion, righteousness, nearness to those who call — and affirming that God's kingdom endures across all generations. Notably, the Septuagint and Vulgate columns do not reproduce the same psalm; instead they contain what modern numbering calls Psalm 146 ("Praise the Lord, O my soul... do not trust in princes"), reflecting the well-known numbering offset between the Hebrew and Greek/Latin psalm traditions. The Vulgate text is placed in brackets, signaling a textual or editorial distinction. This resource would interest someone studying the textual history and transmission of the Psalter across ancient traditions, the Strong's-number annotation makes it useful for Hebrew word studies, and the side-by-side layout makes the LXX/MT numbering divergence immediately visible rather than requiring cross-referencing separate volumes.
