WORD Research this...Psalms 73
- 1 Surely God is good to Israel, Evento such as are pure in heart.
- 2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; My steps had well nigh slipped.
- 3 For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
- 4 For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm.
- 5 They are not in trouble asothermen; Neither are they plagued likeothermen.
- 6 Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.
- 7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.
- 8 They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily.
- 9 They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.
- 10 Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a fullcupare drained by them.
- 11 And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?
- 12 Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.
- 13 Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;
- 14 For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.
- 15 If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.
- 16 When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;
- 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.
- 18 Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.
- 19 How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
- 20 As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.
- 21 For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:
- 22 So brutish was I, and ignorant; I wasasa beast before thee.
- 23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.
- 24 Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
- 25 Whom have I in heavenbut thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
- 26 My flesh and my heart faileth; ButGod is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
- 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing from thee.
- 28 But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works.

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

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
