1Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah,
That walketh in his ways.
2For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands:
Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine,
In the innermost parts of thy house;
Thy children like olive plants,
Round about thy table.
4Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah.
5Jehovah bless thee out of Zion:
And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6Yea, see thou thy children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel.

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. |
