4. They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves. 5. They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.

6. They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.

  1. And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider. 8. Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise? (Psalms 94:4-8, ASV)
WEB

4. They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast. 5. They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage.

6. They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.

KJV

4. How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 5. They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

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.
