For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a Song.
1God be merciful unto us, and bless us,
And cause his face to shine upon us; Selah
2That thy way may be known upon earth,
Thy salvation among all nations.
3Let the peoples praise thee, O God;
Let all the peoples praise thee.
4Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For thou wilt judge the peoples with equity,
And govern the nations upon earth. Selah
5Let the peoples praise thee, O God;
Let all the peoples praise thee.
6The earth hath yielded its increase:
God, even our own God, will bless us.
And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

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. |
