Psalms

Evening Prayer.  Psalm 4

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

1Answer me when I call, O God of my right!
You have given me room when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.

2O men, how long shall my honour suffer shame?
How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? Selah
3But know that Yahweh has set apart the godly for himself;
Yahweh hears when I call to him.

4Be angry, but sin not;
commune with your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in Yahweh.

6There are many who say,
"O that we might see some good!
Lift up O Yahweh,
the light of your countenance upon us!"
7You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.

8In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell in safety.

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.
