  1. ¶ Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king’s son.
  2. ¶ He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
  3. ¶ The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
  4. ¶ He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
  5. ¶ They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
  6. ¶ He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
  7. ¶ In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
  8. ¶ He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
  9. ¶ They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
  10. ¶ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
  11. ¶ Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
  12. ¶ For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
  13. ¶ He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
  14. ¶ He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
  15. ¶ And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
  16. ¶ There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
  17. ¶ His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
  18. ¶ Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
  19. ¶ And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; 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.
