Psalms

God our Refuge & Strength.  Psalm 46(v45)

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.

1God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
2Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
3though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Selah

4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
5God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God will help her right early.
6The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7Yahweh of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

8Come, behold the works of Yahweh,
how he has wrought desolations in the earth.
9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, he burns the chariots with fire!
10"Be still, and know that I am God.
I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth!"
11The Yahweh of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.

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.
