The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text presents Psalms 65:13 with a vivid description of pastures and valleys, indicating they are filled with flocks and grain, and that they shout and sing. The Septuagint, however, does not provide a complete translation of this verse, as only 4 of the 9 words match, indicating a significant difference in wording and structure compared to the Masoretic Text. There are no surviving readings from the Samaritan Pentateuch or the Dead Sea Scrolls for this specific verse, so we cannot compare them here.

4 of the 9 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.

Other nouns are masos and sason, both from sus, properly "to spring," "leap," hence, "exult," "rejoice"; rinnah, "shouting." "joy"; gil, from verb gil or gul, "to go in a circle," hence, "be excited" (dancing round for joy), "rejoice." In the New…
