I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
I myself will awake right early.
3I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples;
And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens;
And thy truth reacheth unto the skies.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens,
And thy glory above all the earth.
6That thy beloved may be delivered,
Save with thy right hand, and answer us.
7God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;
I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim also is the defence of my head;
Judah is my sceptre.
Upon Edom will I cast my shoe;
Over Philistia will I shout.
10Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who hath led me unto Edom?
11Hast not thou cast us off, O God?
And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
12Give us help against the adversary;
For vain is the help of man.
13Through God we shall do valiantly:
For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
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. |
