No. 103 of the Psalms—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ Bless Jehovah, O my soul;
    ¶ And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
  2. ¶ Bless Jehovah, O my soul,
    ¶ And forget not all his benefits:
  3. ¶ Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
    ¶ Who healeth all thy diseases;
  4. ¶ Who redeemeth thy life from [a]destruction;
    ¶ Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
  5. ¶ Who satisfieth [b]thy desire with good things,
    So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.
  6. ¶ Jehovah executeth righteous acts,
    ¶ And judgments for all that are oppressed.
  7. ¶ He made known his ways unto Moses,
    ¶ His doings unto the children of Israel.
  8. ¶ Jehovah is merciful and gracious,
    ¶ Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.
  9. ¶ He will not always chide;
    ¶ Neither will he keep his anger for ever.
  10. ¶ He hath not dealt with us after our sins,
    ¶ Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
  11. ¶ For as the heavens are high above the earth,
    ¶ So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.
  12. ¶ As far as the east is from the west,
    ¶ So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
  13. ¶ Like as a father pitieth his children,
    ¶ So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.
  14. ¶ For he knoweth our frame;
    ¶ He remembereth that we are dust.
  15. ¶ As for man, his days are as grass;
    ¶ As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
  16. ¶ For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
    ¶ And the place thereof shall know it no more.
  17. ¶ But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,
    ¶ And his righteousness unto children’s children;
  18. ¶ To such as keep his covenant,
    ¶ And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
  19. ¶ Jehovah hath established his throne in the heavens;
    ¶ And his kingdom ruleth over all.
  20. ¶ Bless Jehovah, ye his angels,
    ¶ That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word,
    ¶ Hearkening unto the voice of his word.
  21. ¶ Bless Jehovah, all ye his hosts,
    ¶ Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
  22. ¶ Bless Jehovah, all ye his works,
    ¶ In all places of his dominion:
    ¶ Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
