No. 22 of the Psalms—King James Version (KJV)

  1. ¶ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
  2. ¶ O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
  3. ¶ But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
  4. ¶ Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
  5. ¶ They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
  6. ¶ But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
  7. ¶ All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
  8. ¶ He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
  9. ¶ But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
  10. ¶ I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
  11. ¶ Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
  12. ¶ Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
  13. ¶ They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
  14. ¶ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
  15. ¶ My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
  16. ¶ For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
  17. ¶ I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
  18. ¶ They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
  19. ¶ But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
  20. ¶ Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
  21. ¶ Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
  22. ¶ I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
  23. ¶ Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
  24. ¶ For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
  25. ¶ My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
  26. ¶ The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
  27. ¶ All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
  28. ¶ For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations.
  29. ¶ All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
  30. ¶ A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
  31. ¶ They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

    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

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      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.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
