Psalms

The Lord is King!.  Psalm 97(v96)

1Yahweh reigns; let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
2Clouds and thick darkness are round about him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3Fire goes before him,
and burns up his adversaries round about.
4His lightnings lighten the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5The mountains melt like wax before Yahweh,
before Yahweh of all the earth.

6The heavens proclaim his righteousness;
and all the peoples behold his glory.
7All worshipers of images are put to shame, who make their boast in worthless idols;
all gods bow down before him.
8Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O God.
9For you, O Yahweh, are most high over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.

10Yahweh loves those who hate evil;
he preserves the lives of his saints;
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11Light dawns for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
12Rejoice in Yahweh, O you righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name!

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.
