The Tanach, with the evidence built in
This is the complete Hebrew Bible in the Jewish Publication Society translation. Wherever a real archaeological find bears on the text, those words are underlined in gold✦. Hover over them or tap them to see the artifact and what it confirms. From there, Next find takes you to the next underline, so you can tour a whole book’s evidence, and the share button turns the verse into an image.
Each chapter lists its finds under its title, and the chapter picker shows how many finds every book and chapter has. The AA button sets the text size, light or dark, and English, Hebrew, or the two together.
Psalm 140
1For the leader. A psalm of David.
2Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men;save me from the lawless,
3whose minds are full of evil schemes,who plot war every day.
4They sharpen their tongues like serpents;spiders’ poison is on their lips. Selah.
5O LORD, keep me out of the clutches of the wicked;save me from lawless menwho scheme to make me fall.
6Arrogant men laid traps with ropes for me;they spread out a net along the way;they set snares for me. Selah.
7I said to the LORD: You are my God;give ear, O LORD, to my pleas for mercy.
8O GOD, my Lord, the strength of my deliverance,You protected my head on the day of battle.
9O LORD, do not grant the desires of the wicked;do not let their plan succeed,else they be exalted. Selah.
10May the heads of those who beset mebe covered with the mischief of their lips.
11may coals of fire drop down upon them,and they be cast into pits, never to rise again.
12Let slanderers have no place in the land;let the evil of the lawless man drive him into corrals.
13I know that the LORD will championthe cause of the poor, the right of the needy.
14Righteous men shall surely praise Your name;the upright shall dwell in Your presence.
