Psalms

A Psalm of David.

I thank You O Lord.  Psalm 138(v137)

1I give you thanks, O Yahweh, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise;
2I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness; for you have exalted above everything your name and your word. 3On the day I called, you answered me,
my strength of soul you increased.

4All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Yahweh,
for they have heard the words of your mouth;
5and they shall sing of the ways of Yahweh,
for great is the glory of Yahweh.
6For though Yahweh is high, he regards the lowly;
but the haughty he knows from afar.

7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and your right hand delivers me.
8Yahweh will fulfil his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Yahweh, endures for ever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.

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.
