97Psalms

1 Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!

The Lord is King!. Psalm 97(v96)
2 Clouds and thick darkness are round about him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

 
3 Fire goes before him,
and burns up his adversaries round about.

 
4 His lightnings lighten the world;
the earth sees and trembles.

 
5 The mountains melt like wax before Yahweh,
before Yahweh of all the earth.

 
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness;
and all the peoples behold his glory.

 
7 All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols;
all gods bow down before him.

 
8 Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O God.

 
9 For you, O Yahweh, are most high over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.

 
10 Yahweh loves those who hate evil;
he preserves the lives of his saints;
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

 
11 Light dawns for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.

 
12 Rejoice in Yahweh, O you righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name!

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 ?
