No. 106 of the PsalmsRevised Standard Version (RSV)



  1. ¶ Praise the LORD!
    O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
      for his steadfast love endures for ever!
  2. Who can utter the mighty doings of the LORD,
      or show forth all his praise?
  3. Blessed are they who observe justice,
      who do righteousness at all times!
  4. ¶ Remember me, O LORD, when thou showest favor to thy people;
      help me when thou deliverest them;
  5. that I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones,
      that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation,
      that I may glory with thy heritage.
  6. ¶ Both we and our fathers have sinned;
      we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
  7. Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
      did not consider thy wonderful works;
    they did not remember the abundance of thy steadfast love,
      but rebelled against the Most High[a] at the Red Sea.
  8. Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,
      that he might make known his mighty power.
  9. He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry;
      and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
  10. So he saved them from the hand of the foe,
      and delivered them from the power of the enemy.
  11. And the waters covered their adversaries;
      not one of them was left.
  12. Then they believed his words;
      they sang his praise.
  13. ¶ But they soon forgot his works;
      they did not wait for his counsel.
  14. But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness,
      and put God to the test in the desert;
  15. he gave them what they asked,
      but sent a wasting disease among them.
  16. ¶ When men in the camp were jealous of Moses
      and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,
  17. the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
      and covered the company of Abi′ram.
  18. Fire also broke out in their company;
      the flame burned up the wicked.
  19. ¶ They made a calf in Horeb
      and worshiped a molten image.
  20. They exchanged the glory of God
      for the image of an ox that eats grass.
  21. They forgot God, their Savior,
      who had done great things in Egypt,
  22. wondrous works in the land of Ham,
      and terrible things by the Red Sea.
  23. Therefore he said he would destroy them—
      had not Moses, his chosen one,
    stood in the breach before him,
      to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
  24. ¶ Then they despised the pleasant land,
      having no faith in his promise.
  25. They murmured in their tents,
      and did not obey the voice of the LORD.
  26. Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them
      that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
  27. and would disperse[b] their descendants among the nations,
      scattering them over the lands.
  28. ¶ Then they attached themselves to the Ba′al of Pe′or,
      and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;
  29. they provoked the LORD to anger with their doings,
      and a plague broke out among them.
  30. Then Phin′ehas stood up and interposed,
      and the plague was stayed.
  31. And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness
      from generation to generation for ever.
  32. ¶ They angered him at the waters of Mer′ibah,
      and it went ill with Moses on their account;
  33. for they made his spirit bitter,
      and he spoke words that were rash.
  34. ¶ They did not destroy the peoples,
      as the LORD commanded them,
  35. but they mingled with the nations
      and learned to do as they did.
  36. They served their idols,
      which became a snare to them.
  37. They sacrificed their sons
      and their daughters to the demons;
  38. they poured out innocent blood,
      the blood of their sons and daughters,
    whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
      and the land was polluted with blood.
  39. Thus they became unclean by their acts,
      and played the harlot in their doings.
  40. ¶ Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people,
      and he abhorred his heritage;
  41. he gave them into the hand of the nations,
      so that those who hated them ruled over them.
  42. Their enemies oppressed them,
      and they were brought into subjection under their power.
  43. Many times he delivered them,
      but they were rebellious in their purposes,
      and were brought low through their iniquity.
  44. Nevertheless he regarded their distress,
      when he heard their cry.
  45. He remembered for their sake his covenant,
      and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
  46. He caused them to be pitied
      by all those who held them captive.
  47. ¶ Save us, O LORD our God,
      and gather us from among the nations,
    that we may give thanks to thy holy name
      and glory in thy praise.
  48. ¶ Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
      from everlasting to everlasting!
    And let all the people say, “Amen!”
      Praise the LORD!

    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!
