¶ O God, we have heard with our ears, Our 1fathers have told us The 2work that You did in their days, In the 3days of old.
You with Your own hand 4drove out the nations; Then You 5planted them; You 6afflicted the peoples, Then You 7spread them abroad.
For by their own sword they 8did not possess the land, And their own arm did not save them, But Your right hand and Your 9arm and the 10light of Your presence, For You 11favored them.
¶ You are 12my King, O God; 13Command [a]victories for Jacob.
Through You we will 14push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will 15trample down those who rise up against us.
For I will 16not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me.
But You 17have saved us from our adversaries, And You have 18put to shame those who hate us.
In God we have 19boasted all day long, And we will 20give thanks to Your name forever. [b]Selah.
¶ Yet You 21have rejected us and brought us to 22dishonor, And 23do not go out with our armies.
You cause us to 24turn back from the adversary; And those who hate us 25have taken spoil for themselves.
You give us as 26sheep [c]to be eaten And have 27scattered us among the nations.
You 28sell Your people [d]cheaply, And have not [e]profited by their sale.
You make us a 29reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a 30derision to those around us.
You make us 31a byword among the nations, A [f]32laughingstock among the peoples.
All day long my dishonor is before me And [g]my 33humiliation has overwhelmed me,
Because of the voice of him who 34reproaches and reviles, Because of the presence of the 35enemy and the avenger.
¶ All this has come upon us, but we have 36not forgotten You, And we have not 37dealt falsely with Your covenant.
Our heart has not 38turned back, And our steps 39have not deviated from Your way,
Yet You have 40crushed us in a place of 41jackals And covered us with 42the shadow of death.
¶ If we had 43forgotten the name of our God Or extended our [h]hands to 44a strange god,
Would not God 45find this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
But 46for Your sake we are killed all day long; We are considered as 47sheep to be slaughtered.
48Arouse Yourself, why 49do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, 50do not reject us forever.
Why do You 51hide Your face And52forget our affliction and our oppression?
For our 53soul has sunk down into the dust; Our body cleaves to the earth.
54Rise up, be our help, And 55redeem us for the sake of Your lovingkindness.
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!
