I just learned of it on my Literal Word app which was just the NASB when I first got it. So I looked up the LSB and am interested and excited about it. There are also accompanying study journals available for every book of the Bible!
Thanks to you and Tom for educating me (and perhaps others). I searched “LSB Bible” and quickly found lsbible dot org. I have been very attached to the King James version because of my belief that newer translations would not closely adhere to the original text, even though I have long believed the KJ version was corrupted by centuries of limited access at every level.
Learning about the NASB and LSB from the website has greatly loosened my attachment, opening my eyes and heart. Thanks again.
Janice, the devotion to and love for God in the Psalm you shared just explodes through the words. A fine example of how to place God first.
This comment section uses nearly ALL of my reading time every time I click on it.
I have loved the NASB for years now, but when I saw that the LSB is even more accurate word for word, and with the reverent use of “Yahweh,” well, it’s good news!
AND THIS IS WHY...as much as I love you Jeff, it's scary to hear you say "we don't need Superman, we're going to save ourselves" OUR reliance MUST ALWAYS BE ON OUR LORD JESUS!!!
However I do not see the mass peaceful protests in the streets about so many things: the border, money to Ukraine, the unfair judicial system...these were the type of events which prompted change before the internet age.
I think that what is being done to J6 protestors has us all in fear.
They are using them as scapegoats to silence us just as fascists and communists and dictators have done throughout history. In the meantime, the revolution in progress of the demon possessed left progresses and continues.
FOR us fearful, we can be prayer warriors and hope that the braver among us awaken before it is too late.
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
My flesh and my heart fail,
But God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever.
For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed everyone who is unfaithful to You.
But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have set Lord Yahweh as my refuge,
That I may recount all Your works.
— Psalm 73:25-28 LSB
Balm for my soul, as always. Thank you, Janice 😇
Mine too. “The nearness of my God is my good…” So comforting and powerful.
I’m so happy to see your encouraging post is the first of the day! God bless you Janice!
And you, sister.
Thank you -reading aloud so my boys can hear 🙏💗
Janice, I have started reading LSB because it does not translate Yahweh.
It helps me to not forget Who is sovereign! The curtain in the temple was torn! We have access through our Messiah!

Just FYI, both the NAS and the LSB are published by The Lockman Foundation.

One more good translation to read!
I'm told it's very close to NASB.
Oh! Be still, my heart!! My life verses. Just meditating on these this morning. I love the verses leading up to it too--
You take me by the hand,
you guide me with your counsel, and afterwards, you will take me into glory!
Amen!
I wish I could “like “ this a billion times.
Like like like like . . . :D

I think he meant we have to DO something, not just sit back and wait for God to do it. I mean, that's the way I'm taking it.
God helps those who help themselves.
God can work through us and guide us.

I am an ecumenically hearted Christian (Orthodox practicing) who always respected CBN. (Christian Broadcasting Network).
Well guess what just popped up? This call for 40 days (very biblical) of prayer for our country!
I signed up to join in this prayer intention period and they will send some material.
Let's do it together! "Where there are two or more gathered in my name.."
