Psalms

To the choirmaster. Of David.

Confidence in the Lord.  Psalm 11(v10)

1In Yahweh I take refuge;
how can you say to me,
"Flee like a bird to the mountains;
2for lo, the wicked bend the bow,
they have fitted their arrow to the string,
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
3if the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do"?

4Yahweh is in his holy temple,
Yahweh's throne is in heaven;
his eyes behold, his eyelids test, the children of men.
5Yahweh tests the righteous and the wicked,
and his soul hates him that loves violence.
6On the wicked he will rain coals of fire and brimstone;
a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7For Yahweh is righteous, he loves righteous deeds;
the upright shall behold his face.

This page displays the katapi New Standard Bible as flowing text.
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 used the name 'Yahweh'.
(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.
