The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Psalms 112:9 states: 'He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.' The Septuagint aligns closely with the Masoretic Text, matching 9 out of 9 words, though its word order and articles differ due to its translation style. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q98f) contain fragments of the verse, with 1 word fully preserved, 1 word partly restored, and 7 words supplied by an editor, indicating a similar content but with some textual restoration involved. Overall, the Septuagint and the Dead Sea Scrolls agree with the Masoretic Text in meaning, but the specific wording may vary due to the nature of the manuscripts.
פִּזַּ֤ר׀ נָ֘תַ֤ן לָאֶבְיוֹנִ֗ים צִ֭דְקָתוֹ עֹמֶ֣דֶת לָעַ֑ד קַ֝רְנ֗וֹ תָּר֥וּם בְּכָבֽוֹד׃
9 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.

1 word on the leather — 1 partly restored, 7 supplied entire by an editor.
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. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

pe'-p'-l: In English Versions of the Bible represents something over a dozen Hebrew and Greek words. Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question.
