Psalms

Wickedness of the Sinner & God's Goodness.  Psalm 36(v35)

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of Yahweh.

1Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart;
there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit;
he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4He plots mischief while on his bed;
he sets himself in a way that is not good;
he spurns not evil.

5Your steadfast love, O Yahweh, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God,
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O Yahweh.

7How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of men take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
9For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.

10O continue your steadfast love to those who know you,
and your salvation to the upright of heart!
11Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There the evil doers lie prostrate,
they are thrust down, unable to rise.

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.
