Psalms

Prayer for Protection.  Psalm 61(v60)

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

1Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
2from the end of the earth I call to you, when my heart is faint.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I;
3for you are my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.

4Let me dwell in your tent for ever!
Oh to be safe under the shelter of your wings! Selah
5For you have heard my vows, O God,
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

6Prolong the life of the king;
may his years endure to all generations!
7May he be enthroned for ever before God;
bid steadfast love and faithfulness watch over him!

8So will I ever sing praises to your name,
as I pay my vows day after day.

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.
