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 30
1A psalm of David. A song for the dedication of the House.
2I extol You, O LORD,for You have lifted me up,and not let my enemies rejoice over me.
3O LORD, my God,I cried out to You,and You healed me.
4O LORD, You brought me up from Sheol,preserved me from going down into the Pit.
5O you faithful of the LORD, sing to Him,and praise His holy name.
6For He is angry but a moment,and when He is pleased there is life.One may lie down weeping at nightfall;but at dawn there are shouts of joy.
7When I was untroubled,I thought, “I shall never be shaken,”
8for You, O LORD, when You were pleased,made [me] firm as a mighty mountain.When You hid Your face,I was terrified.
9I called to You, O LORD;to my Lord I made appeal,
10“What is to be gained from my death,from my descent into the Pit?Can dust praise You?Can it declare Your faithfulness?
11Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me;O LORD, be my help!”
12You turned my lament into dancing,you undid my sackcloth and girded me with joy,
13that [my] whole being might sing hymns to You endlessly;O LORD my God, I will praise You forever.
