¶ 1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never 2be ashamed; 3In Your righteousness deliver me.
4Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly; Be to me a 5rock of [a]strength, A stronghold to save me.
For You are my [b]rock and 6my fortress; For 7Your name’s sake You will lead me and guide me.
You will 8pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my 9strength.
10Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have 11ransomed me, O LORD, 12God of [c]truth.
¶ I hate those who 13regard [d]vain idols, But I 14trust in the LORD.
I will 15rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness, Because You have 16seen my affliction; You have known the troubles of my soul,
And You have not 17given me over into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a large place.
¶ Be gracious to me, O LORD, for 18I am in distress; My 19eye is wasted away from grief, 20my soul and my body also.
For my life is spent with 21sorrow And my years with sighing; My 22strength has failed because of my iniquity, And 23my [e]body has wasted away.
Because of all my adversaries, I have become a 24reproach, Especially to my 25neighbors, And an object of dread to my acquaintances; Those who see me in the street flee from me.
I am 26forgotten as a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.
For I have heard the [f]27slander of many, 28Terror is on every side; While they 29took counsel together against me, They 30schemed to take away my life.
¶ But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD, I say, “31You are my God.”
My 32times are in Your hand; 33Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.
Make Your 34face to shine upon Your servant; 35Save me in Your lovingkindness.
Let me not be 36put to shame, O LORD, for I call upon You; Let the 37wicked be put to shame, let them 38be silent in [g]Sheol.
Let the 39lying lips be mute, Which 40speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt.
¶ How great is Your 41goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have wrought for those who 42take refuge in You, 43Before the sons of men!
You hide them in the 44secret place of Your presence from the 45conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a [h]shelter from the 46strife of tongues.
47Blessed be the LORD, For He has made 48marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged 49city.
As for me, 50I said in my alarm, “I am 51cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless You 52heard the voice of my supplications When I cried to You.
¶ O love the LORD, all you 53His godly ones! The LORD 54preserves the faithful And fully 55recompenses the proud doer.
56Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who [i]hope in the LORD.
The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example
Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17
NKJV says
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
NWT says
15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,
The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.
Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.
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
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!
