From 5397e564b31966f9f9df49de16f4e938c9505525 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Estes Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 12:28:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fix Psalm 87:11 English translation: physicians -> shades Douay-Rheims's "physicians" is a literal rendering of the Vulgate's "medici," itself a mistranslation of Hebrew Rephaim (the shades of Sheol). Replace with "shades" for clarity, matching modern translations (RSV/NRSV/NABRE).
