113Psalms

1 Praise Yahweh!
Praise, O servants of Yahweh,
praise the name of Yahweh!

Praise the Lord!. Psalm 113(v112)
2 Blessed be the name of Yahweh
from this time forth and for evermore!

 
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting
the name of Yahweh is to be praised!

 
4 Yahweh is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens!

 
5 Who is like Yahweh our God,
who is seated on high,

 
6 who looks far down upon the heavens and the earth?
 
7 He raises the poor from the dust,
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

 
8 to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people.

 
9 He gives the barren woman a home,
making her the joyous mother of children.
Praise Yahweh!

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
