61Psalms

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Prayer for Protection. Psalm 61(v60)
1 Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;

 
2 from the end of the earth I call to you, when my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I;

 
3 for you are my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.

 
4 Let me dwell in your tent for ever!
Oh to be safe under the shelter of your wings! Selah

 
5 For you have heard my vows, O God,
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

 
6 Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!

 
7 May he be enthroned for ever before God;
bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him!

 
8 So will I ever sing praises to your name,
as I pay my vows day after day.

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 ?
