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 25
1Of David.O LORD, I set my hope on You;
2my God, in You I trust;may I not be disappointed,may my enemies not exult over me.
3O let none who look to You be disappointed;let the faithless be disappointed, empty-handed.
4Let me know Your paths, O LORD;teach me Your ways;
5guide me in Your true way and teach me,for You are God, my deliverer;it is You I look to at all times.
6O LORD, be mindful of Your compassionand Your faithfulness;they are old as time.
7Be not mindful of my youthful sins and transgressions;in keeping with Your faithfulness consider what is in my favor,as befits Your goodness, O LORD.
8Good and upright is the LORD;therefore He shows sinners the way.
9He guides the lowly in the right path,and teaches the lowly His way.
10All the LORD’s paths are steadfast lovefor those who keep the decrees of His covenant.
11As befits Your name, O LORD,pardon my iniquity though it be great.
12Whoever fears the LORD,he shall be shown what path to choose.
13He shall live a happy life,and his children shall inherit the land.
14The counsel of the LORD is for those who fear Him;to them He makes known His covenant.
15My eyes are ever toward the LORD,for He will loose my feet from the net.
16Turn to me, have mercy on me,for I am alone and afflicted.
17My deep distress increases;deliver me from my straits.
18Look at my affliction and suffering,and forgive all my sins.
19See how numerous my enemies are,and how unjustly they hate me!
20Protect me and save me;let me not be disappointed,for I have sought refuge in You.
21May integrity and uprightness watch over me,for I look to You.
22O God, redeem Israelfrom all its distress.
