No. 89 of the Psalms—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ I will sing of the lovingkindness of Jehovah for ever:
    ¶ With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
  2. ¶ For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever;
    ¶ Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.
  3. ¶ I have made a covenant with my chosen,
    ¶ I have sworn unto David my servant:
  4. ¶ Thy seed will I establish for ever,
    ¶ And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah
  5. ¶ And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Jehovah;
    ¶ Thy faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.
  6. ¶ For who in the skies can be compared unto Jehovah?
    ¶ Who among the [a]sons of the [b]1mighty is like unto Jehovah,
  7. ¶ A God very terrible in the council of the holy ones,
    ¶ And to be feared above all them that are round about him?
  8. ¶ O Jehovah God of hosts,
    ¶ Who is a mighty one, like unto thee, O [c]Jehovah?
    ¶ And thy faithfulness is round about thee.
  9. ¶ Thou rulest the pride of the sea:
    ¶ When the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
  10. ¶ Thou hast broken [d]Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;
    ¶ Thou hast scattered thine enemies with the arm of thy strength.
  11. ¶ The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine:
    ¶ The world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
  12. ¶ The north and the south, thou hast created them:
    ¶ Tabor and Hermon rejoice in thy name.
  13. ¶ Thou hast [e]a mighty arm;
    ¶ Strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
  14. ¶ Righteousness and justice are the foundation of thy throne:
    ¶ Lovingkindness and truth go before thy face.
  15. ¶ Blessed is the people that know the [f]joyful sound:
    ¶ They walk, O Jehovah, in the light of thy countenance.
  16. ¶ In thy name do they rejoice all the day;
    ¶ And in thy righteousness are they exalted.
  17. ¶ For thou art the glory of their strength;
    ¶ And in thy favor [g]our horn shall be exalted.
  18. ¶ For our shield belongeth unto Jehovah;
    [h]And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
  19. ¶ Then thou spakest in vision to thy [i]saints,
    ¶ And saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty;
    ¶ I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
  20. ¶ I have found David my servant;
    ¶ With my holy oil have I anointed him:
  21. ¶ With whom my hand shall be established;
    ¶ Mine arm also shall strengthen him.
  22. ¶ The enemy shall not [j]exact from him,
    ¶ Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
  23. ¶ And I will beat down his adversaries before him,
    ¶ And smite them that hate him.
  24. ¶ But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him;
    ¶ And in my name shall his horn be exalted.
  25. ¶ I will set his hand also on the sea,
    ¶ And his right hand on the rivers.
  26. ¶ He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father,
    ¶ My God, and the rock of my salvation.
  27. ¶ I also will make him my first-born,
    ¶ The highest of the kings of the earth.
  28. ¶ My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore;
    ¶ And my covenant shall [k]stand fast with him.
  29. ¶ His seed also will I make to endure for ever,
    ¶ And his throne as the days of heaven.
  30. ¶ If his children forsake my law,
    ¶ And walk not in mine ordinances;
  31. ¶ If they [l]break my statutes,
    ¶ And keep not my commandments;
  32. ¶ Then will I visit their transgression with the rod,
    ¶ And their iniquity with stripes.
  33. ¶ But my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him,
    ¶ Nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
  34. ¶ My covenant will I not [m]break,
    ¶ Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
  35. [n]Once have I sworn by my holiness:
    ¶ I will not lie unto David:
  36. ¶ His seed shall endure for ever,
    ¶ And his throne as the sun before me.
  37. [o]It shall be established for ever as the moon,
    [p]And as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah
  38. ¶ But thou hast cast off and rejected,
    ¶ Thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
  39. ¶ Thou hast abhorred the covenant of thy servant:
    ¶ Thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
  40. ¶ Thou hast broken down all his hedges;
    ¶ Thou hast brought his strongholds to ruin.
  41. ¶ All that pass by the way rob him:
    ¶ He is become a reproach to his neighbors.
  42. ¶ Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
    ¶ Thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
  43. ¶ Yea, thou turnest back the edge of his sword,
    ¶ And hast not made him to stand in the battle.
  44. ¶ Thou hast made his brightness to cease,
    ¶ And cast his throne down to the ground.
  45. ¶ The days of his youth hast thou shortened:
    ¶ Thou hast covered him with shame. Selah
  46. ¶ How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou hide thyself for ever?
    How long shall thy wrath burn like fire?
  47. ¶ Oh remember how short my time is:
    ¶ For what vanity hast thou created all the children of men!
  48. ¶ What man is he that shall live and not see death,
    ¶ That shall deliver his soul from the [q]power of Sheol? Selah
  49. ¶ Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses,
    ¶ Which thou swarest unto David in thy faithfulness?
  50. ¶ Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants;
    ¶ How I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the [r]mighty peoples,
  51. ¶ Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Jehovah,
    ¶ Wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
  52. ¶ Blessed be Jehovah for evermore.
    ¶ Amen, and Amen.

    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.
