Psalms

A Psalm of David.

Petition & Thankgiving.  Psalm 28(v27)

1To you, O Yahweh, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the Pit.
2Hear the voice of my supplication, as I cry to you for help,
as I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.

3Take me not off with the wicked, with those who are workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbours, while mischief is in their hearts.
4Requite them according to their work, and according to the evil of their deeds;
requite them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.
5Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh, or the work of his hands,
he will break them down and build them up no more.

6Blessed be Yahweh!
for he has heard the voice of my supplications.
7Yahweh is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts;
so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

8Yahweh is the strength of his people,
he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
9O save your people, and bless your heritage;
be their shepherd, and carry them for ever.

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.
