1Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah.
Let thine ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
3If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4But there is forgiveness with thee,
That thou mayest be feared.
5I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait,
And in his word do I hope.
More than watchmen wait for the morning;
Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness,
And with him is plenteous redemption.
From all his iniquities.

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. |
