46Psalms

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song. God our Refuge & Strength. Psalm 46(v45)
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.

 
2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;

 
3 though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah

 
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.

 
5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God will help her right early.

 
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.

 
7 Yahweh of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

 
8 Come, behold the works of Yahweh,
how he has wrought desolations in the earth.

 
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, he burns the chariots with fire!

 
10 "Be still, and know that I am God.
I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth!"

 
11 The Yahweh of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.

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 ?
