No. 107 of the Psalms—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
    ¶ For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
  2. ¶ Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so,
    ¶ Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
  3. ¶ And gathered out of the lands,
    ¶ From the east and from the west,
    ¶ From the north and [a]from the south.
  4. ¶ They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way;
    ¶ They found no city of habitation.
  5. ¶ Hungry and thirsty,
    ¶ Their soul fainted in them.
  6. ¶ Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,
    ¶ And he delivered them out of their distresses,
  7. ¶ He led them also by a straight way,
    ¶ That they might go to a city of habitation.
  8. ¶ Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
    ¶ And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
  9. ¶ For he satisfieth the longing soul,
    ¶ And the hungry soul he filleth with good.
  10. ¶ Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
    ¶ Being bound in affliction and iron,
  11. ¶ Because they rebelled against the words of God,
    ¶ And contemned the counsel of the Most High:
  12. ¶ Therefore he brought down their heart with labor;
    ¶ They fell down, and there was none to help.
  13. ¶ Then they cried unto Jehovah in their trouble,
    ¶ And he saved them out of their distresses.
  14. ¶ He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
    ¶ And brake their bonds in sunder.
  15. ¶ Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
    ¶ And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
  16. ¶ For he hath broken the gates of brass,
    ¶ And cut the bars of iron in sunder.
  17. ¶ Fools because of [b]their transgression,
    ¶ And because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
  18. ¶ Their soul abhorreth all manner of food;
    ¶ And they draw near unto the gates of death.
  19. ¶ Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,
    ¶ And he saveth them out of their distresses.
  20. ¶ He sendeth his word, and healeth them,
    ¶ And delivereth them from their [c]destructions.
  21. ¶ Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
    ¶ And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
  22. ¶ And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
    ¶ And declare his works with singing.
  23. ¶ They that go down to the sea in ships,
    ¶ That do business in great waters;
  24. ¶ These see the works of Jehovah,
    ¶ And his wonders in the deep.
  25. ¶ For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,
    ¶ Which lifteth up the waves thereof.
  26. ¶ They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths:
    ¶ Their soul melteth away because of trouble.
  27. ¶ They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
    ¶ And [d]are at their wits’ end.
  28. ¶ Then they cry unto Jehovah in their trouble,
    ¶ And he bringeth them out of their distresses.
  29. ¶ He maketh the storm a calm,
    ¶ So that the waves thereof are still.
  30. ¶ Then are they glad because they are quiet;
    ¶ So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
  31. ¶ Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness,
    ¶ And for his wonderful works to the children of men!
  32. ¶ Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
    ¶ And praise him in the seat of the elders.
  33. ¶ He turneth rivers into a wilderness,
    ¶ And watersprings into a thirsty ground;
  34. ¶ A fruitful land into a salt desert,
    ¶ For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
  35. ¶ He turneth a wilderness into a pool of water,
    ¶ And a dry land into watersprings.
  36. ¶ And there he maketh the hungry to dwell,
    ¶ That they may prepare a city of habitation,
  37. ¶ And sow fields, and plant vineyards,
    ¶ And get them fruits of increase.
  38. ¶ He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;
    ¶ And he suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
  39. ¶ Again, they are diminished and bowed down
    ¶ Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
  40. ¶ He poureth contempt upon princes,
    ¶ And causeth them to wander in the waste, where there is no way.
  41. ¶ Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction,
    ¶ And maketh him families like a flock.
  42. ¶ The upright shall see it, and be glad;
    ¶ And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
  43. ¶ Whoso is wise will give heed to these things;
    ¶ And they will consider the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah.

    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.
