I don’t have my bible here. Is the 83rd Psalm accurate in this found text?

The 83rd Psalm in Catholic numbering (82nd in Protestant numbering) ends in the Vulgate as the folowing:

et sciant quia nomen tuum est Dominus solus tu Excelsus super omnem terram

Or:

Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus: tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.

Jerome provided two separate translations of the Psalms - one as they appeared in the Greek bible and one as the appeared in the Hebrew.

There are subtle differences.

The text given in the article appears to conform to neither precisely - but we have no way of knowing if this is due to the English translation in the article or the actual Latin text of the manuscript.

Is your Bible in Latin?
