Psalms

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

In Praise of Zion.  Psalm 87(v86)

1On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
2Yahweh loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
3Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God. Selah

4Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia -
"This one was born there," they say.
5And of Zion it shall be said,
"This one and that one were born in her";
for the Most High himself will establish her.
6Yahweh records as he registers the peoples,
"This one was born there." Selah

7Singers and dancers alike say,
"All my springs are in you."

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.
