87 Psalms

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

 
1 On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

In Praise of Zion. Psalm 87(v86)
2 Yahweh loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

 
3 Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God. Selah

 
4 Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia -
"This one was born there," they say.

 
5 And of Zion it shall be said,
"This one and that one were born in her";
for the Most High himself will establish her.

 
6 Yahweh records as he registers the peoples,
"This one was born there." Selah

 
7 Singers and dancers alike say,
"All my springs are in you."

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 ?
