« | Psalm 13 | » |
1 How long, O LORD? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O LORD my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,
4 lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing to LORD because he has dealt bountifully with me.
A Conservative Version (ACV)
A Conservative Version (ACV) of the Bible is a translation that aims to provide a conservative and literal interpretation of the biblical texts. Developed with a focus on maintaining fidelity to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts, the ACV emphasizes a word-for-word translation methodology. The goal is to preserve the subtleties and nuances of the original languages as accurately as possible. This approach results in a version of the Bible that seeks to remain true to the text's original meaning and context, appealing to readers who prioritize precision and doctrinal integrity.
The text of the Old Testament for A Conservative Version (ACV) came from the American Standard Version published in 1901. The main changes done for the ACV were the replacement of archaic words with more modern ones, except for the old English pronouns, which were kept because they are more communicative. The New Testament was translated from, The New Testament in the Original Greek According to the Byzantine-Majority Text form. That edition was compiled by Maurice A. Robinson and William G. Pierpont, and is of the Textus Receptus tradition from which came the King James Version.
