The Digital Bible Library (DBL) is an online digital asset and licensing management platform developed and maintained by the United Bible Societies. It is the platform that Wycliffe Organizations use to share Scripture text and audio with external ministry partners. DBL gathers, validates, and safeguards a large collection of quality, standardized, digital Scripture texts in hundreds of languages — all contributed by a growing number of partnering translation agencies.
In this way, DBL seeks to empower others to reach people from every tribe, in every nation, with the power of God’s Word in their heart language.
