  1. A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Jehovah. 2. Lord, hear my voice: Let thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. 3. If thou, Jehovah, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 4. But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared. 5. I wait for Jehovah, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope. 6. My soul waiteth for the Lord More than watchmen wait for the morning; Yea, more than watchmen for the morning. 7. O Israel, hope in Jehovah; For with Jehovah there is lovingkindness, And with him is plenteous redemption. 8. And he will redeem Israel From all his iniquities. (Psalms 130:1-8, ASV)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

  • ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
  • WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
  • KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
  • YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
