1Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion:
Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3Thy people offer themselves willingly In the day of thy power, in holy array:
Out of the womb of the morning
Thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent:
Thou art a priest for ever
After the order of Melchizedek.
Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6He will judge among the nations,
He will fill the places with dead bodies;
He will strike through the head in many countries.
7He will drink of the brook in the way:
Therefore will he lift up the head.

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. |
