Psalms 81
- 1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
- 2 Raise a song, and bring hither the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the psaltery.
- 3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.
- 4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
- 5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, WhereI heard a language that I knew not.
- 6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.
- 7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. [Selah
- 8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
- 9 There shall no strange god be in thee; Neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
- 10 I am Jehovah thy God, Who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
- 11 But my people hearkened not to my voice; And Israel would none of me.
- 12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, That they might walk in their own counsels.
- 13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!
- 14 I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.
- 15 The haters of Jehovah should submit themselves unto him: But their time should endure for ever.
- 16 He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
