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 88
1A song. A psalm of the Korahites. For the leader; on maḥalath leannoth. A maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.
2O LORD, God of my deliverance,when I cry out in the night before You,
3let my prayer reach You;incline Your ear to my cry.
4For I am sated with misfortune;I am at the brink of Sheol.
5I am numbered with those who go down to the Pit;I am a helpless man
6abandoned among the dead,like bodies lying in the graveof whom You are mindful no more,and who are cut off from Your care.
7You have put me at the bottom of the Pit,in the darkest places, in the depths.
8Your fury lies heavy upon me;You afflict me with all Your breakers. Selah.
9You make my companions shun me;You make me abhorrent to them;I am shut in and do not go out.
10My eyes pine away from affliction;I call to You, O LORD, each day;I stretch out my hands to You.
11Do You work wonders for the dead?Do the shades rise to praise You? Selah.
12Is Your faithful care recounted in the grave,Your constancy in the place of perdition?
13Are Your wonders made known in the netherworld,Your beneficent deeds in the land of oblivion?
14As for me, I cry out to You, O LORD;each morning my prayer greets You.
15Why, O LORD, do You reject me,do You hide Your face from me?
16From my youth I have been afflictedand near death;I suffer Your terrors wherever I turn.
17Your fury overwhelms me;Your terrors destroy me.
18They swirl about me like water all day long;they encircle me on every side.
19You have put friend and neighbor far from meand my companions out of my sight.
