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 27
1Of David.The LORD is my light and my help;whom should I fear?The LORD is the stronghold of my life,whom should I dread?
2When evil men assail meto devour my flesh—it is they, my foes and my enemies,who stumble and fall.
3Should an army besiege me,my heart would have no fear;should war beset me,still would I be confident.
4One thing I ask of the LORD,only that do I seek:to live in the house of the LORDall the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD,to frequent His temple.
5He will shelter me in His pavilionon an evil day,grant me the protection of His tent,raise me high upon a rock.
6Now is my head highover my enemies round about;I sacrifice in His tent with shouts of joy,singing and chanting a hymn to the LORD.
7Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;have mercy on me, answer me.
8In Your behalf my heart says:“Seek My face!”O LORD, I seek Your face.
9Do not hide Your face from me;do not thrust aside Your servant in anger;You have ever been my help.Do not forsake me, do not abandon me,O God, my deliverer.
10Though my father and mother abandon me,the LORD will take me in.
11Show me Your way, O LORD,and lead me on a level pathbecause of my watchful foes.
12Do not subject me to the will of my foes,for false witnesses and unjust accusershave appeared against me.
13Had I not the assurancethat I would enjoy the goodness of the LORDin the land of the living…
14Look to the LORD;be strong and of good courage!O look to the LORD!
