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 52
1For the leader. A maskil of David,
2when Doeg the Edomite came and informed Saul, telling him, “David came to Ahimelech’s house.”
3Why do you boast of your evil, brave fellow?God’s faithfulness never ceases.
4Your tongue devises mischief,like a sharpened razor that works treacherously.
5You prefer evil to good,the lie, to speaking truthfully. Selah.
6You love all pernicious words,treacherous speech.
7So God will tear you down for good,will break you and pluck you from your tent,and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
8The righteous, seeing it, will be awestruck;they will jibe at him, saying,
9“Here was a fellow who did not make God his refuge,but trusted in his great wealth,relied upon his mischief.”
10But I am like a thriving olive tree in God’s house;I trust in the faithfulness of God forever and ever.
11I praise You forever, for You have acted;I declare that Your name is goodin the presence of Your faithful ones.
