A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song.
1His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3Glorious things are spoken of thee,
O city of God. Selah
4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me:
Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia:
This one was born there.
5Yea, of Zion it shall be said,
This one and that one was born in her;
And the Most High himself will establish her.
6Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples,
This one was born there. Selah
7They that sing as well as they that dance shall say,
All my fountains are in thee.

About American Standard VersionThe ASV has long been regarded by many scholars as the most literal English translation since the King James Version—maybe the most literal translation ever. This has made the translation very popular for careful English Bible study, but not for ease of reading. While the KJV was translated entirely from “western manuscripts,” the ASV 1901 was influenced also by the older “eastern manuscripts” that form the basis for most of our modern English translations. Because the ASV 1901 is very difficult to find in print, Logos is pleased to be able to preserve and distribute this significant work. This is an excellent choice for comparative English study. |
