125Psalms

A Song of Ascents.  
1 Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides for ever.

The Lord the Protector of His People. Psalm 125(v124)
2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,
so Yahweh is round about his people,
from this time forth and for evermore.
 
3 For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous put forth their hands to do wrong.

 
4 Do good, O Yahweh, to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts!

 
5 But those who turn aside upon their crooked ways
Yahweh will lead away with evildoers!
Peace be in Israel!

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 ?
