Psalms

Morning Prayer.  Psalm 3

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

1 O Yahweh, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
2many are saying of me,
there is no help for him in God. Selah

3But you, O Yahweh, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.

4I cry aloud to Yahweh,
and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah

5I lie down and sleep; I wake again,
for Yahweh sustains me.
6I am not afraid of ten thousands of people
who have set themselves against me round about.

7Arise, O Yahweh! Deliver me, O my God!
For you smite all my enemies on the cheek,
you break the teeth of the wicked.

8Deliverance belongs to Yahweh;
may your blessing be upon your people!

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.
