Psalms

A Song of Ascents.

The Lord the Protector of His People.  Psalm 125(v124)

1Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides for ever.
2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem,
so Yahweh is round about his people,
from this time forth and for evermore.
3For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous put forth their hands to do wrong.
4Do good, O Yahweh, to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts!
5But those who turn aside upon their crooked ways
Yahweh will lead away with evildoers!
Peace be in Israel!

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.
