Psalms 102
- 1 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And let my cry come unto thee.
- 2 Hide not thy face from me in the day of my distress: Incline thine ear unto me; In the day when I call answer me speedily.
- 3 For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.
- 4 My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; For I forget to eat my bread.
- 5 By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.
- 6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
- 7 I watch, and am become like a sparrow That is alone upon the house-top.
- 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; They that are mad against me do curse by me.
- 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,
- 10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: For thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
- 11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; And I am withered like grass.
- 12 But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial name unto all generations.
- 13 Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come.
- 14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, And have pity upon her dust.
- 15 So the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
- 16 For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.
- 17 He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, And hath not despised their prayer.
- 18 This shall be written for the generation to come; And a people which shall be created shall praise Jehovah.
- 19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; From heaven did Jehovah behold the earth;
- 20 To hear the sighing of the prisoner; To loose those that are appointed to death;
- 21 That men may declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, And his praise in Jerusalem;
- 22 When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
- 23 He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.
- 24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.
- 25 Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.
- 26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
- 27 But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.
- 28 The children of thy servants shall continue, And their seed shall be established before 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

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.

The popular children’s song depicts the familiar illustration by Jesus in Matthew 7:24-27 of the Sermon on the Mount. Two men were building houses – a wise man and a foolish man. The difference between them: One heard the teachings of Jesus and did them, while the other heard them, and did not do them (Matt. 7:24, 26). Consider, for a moment, the things that a truly wise man does in building his spiritual house:
