1I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.
Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,
As a city that is compact together;
4Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah,
For an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
5For there are set thrones for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
They shall prosper that love thee.
And prosperity within thy palaces.
8For my brethren and companions’ sakes,
I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God
I will seek thy good.
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. |
