Psalms

Song for the Distressed.  Psalm 54(v53)

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. 0A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "David is in hiding among us."

1Save me, O God, by your name,
and vindicate me by your might.
2Hear my prayer, O God;
give ear to the words of my mouth.

3For insolent men have risen against me, ruthless men seek my life;
they do not set God before them. Selah

4Behold, God is my helper;
Yahweh is the upholder of my life.
5He will requite my enemies with evil;
in your faithfulness put an end to them.

6With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O Yahweh, for it is good.
7For you have delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.

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.
