Septuagint
The Septuagint or Greek translation of the Old Testament of the Bible uses a differrent numbering of the Psalms from the Vulgate.
Vulgate
The title “Vulgate” is currently applied to three distinct texts which can be found from various sources on the Internet. Which text is used can be ascertained from the spelling of Eve’s name in Genesis 3:20.
- Heva: the Clementine Vulgate.
- Hava: the Stuttgart edition of the Vulgate.
- Eva: the New Vulgate.
Clementine Vulgate
- The Vulgate Bible is the Latin translation atributed to St. Jerome. The official Latin Bible of the Roman Catholic Church from 1592 to 1979, it lent its numbering of the psalms to countless compositions. The current Nova Vulgata restores the Greek numbering familiar to non-Catholic readers of the bible.
Stuttgart Vulgate
- The Stuttgart Vulgate is a critical edition of St. Jerome's Vulgate, published in 1969 and restoring many readings older than the Clementine Vulgate commisioned by the Council of Trent. This edition seeks to recover a text as close as possible to that of early manuscripts, especially in respect of the removal of many interpolated readings that found their way into the Clementine Vulgate.
- It contains two psalters, the Roman and Gallician, regarded as Jerome's first and second drafts, respectively.

- The New Vulgate or Nova Vulgata is the current official Latin Bible of the Roman Catholic Church since 1979. Amended and modified; it is in some passages more a new version rather than a revision.
