Side-by-side view of the 2 psalms in a diff viewer: http://i.imgur.com/ipaPW.png



Nice work. However, given that the Christian Bible has been translated into English (probabaly many times over during the last thousand+ years), wouldn't it make more sense to diff the original Hebrew version?

I'm assuming there's a website where you can retrieve this ...


FWIW, I did a diff of [one version of] the Hebrew: http://blog.purepistos.net/psalm-14-53-hebrew-diff.html

I took the text from here:

http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/hebrewbible/Psalms_14.html http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/hebrewbible/Psalms_53.html

and split it (more or less) into one word per line.

You'll notice that, in some cases, even when lines or sections are technically different (characters do not exactly match), there is a similarity of words (same roots).


Alternatively, an interactive online side-by-side diff version. http://diffpaste.com/#/388/387/
