Psalms

Song of Zion.  Psalm 48(v47)

A Song. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

1Great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised
in the city of our God! His holy mountain,
2beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3Within her citadels God has shown himself a sure defence.

4For lo, the kings assembled,
they came on together.
5As soon as they saw it, they were astounded,
they were in panic, they took to flight;
6trembling took hold of them there,
anguish as of a woman in travail.
7By the east wind you shattered the ships of Tarshish.
8As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of Yahweh of hosts,
in the city of our God, which God establishes for ever. Selah

9We have thought on your steadfast love, O God,
in the midst of your temple.
10As your name, O God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with victory;
11let Mount Zion be glad!
Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments!

12Walk about Zion, go round about her, number her towers,
13consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels;
that you may tell the next generation 14that this is God,
our God for ever and ever.
He will be our guide for ever.

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
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.
