nasb or nasb95

1. a. Thees and Thous away. b. Small updates of language.

2. Kirkbride does publish the Thompson Chain Referense Bibel in old NASB.

 

The Key Word Study Bible is also in the '77 NASB.

 

Nodak,

I've used both:

1. The old nasb has Thees and Thous in prayers addressed to God while the nasb95 doesn't.

2. The old nasb has more connective than the nasb95 but the nasb95 is more readable.

 

Moderator note:

Reference to any translation other than the two under discussion will be viewed as off topic and deleted.

 

I have a newer Open Bible in the '77 NAS, and actually like the Thee's and Thou's when referring to God. It seems more reverent to me. There are a couple spots I have an issue with, but overall I like that Bible a lot.

My children like the NASB '95 for study, it is more readable.

I've been using a NASB 95 that was given to me by the Lockman Foundation(and other graduates) when i graduated from seminary and love it. I'm also trying to change Bibles that i use for personal study each year; i may have to check out the original NASB in the future.

 

You can get NASB77 in Logos Bible Software as well.

 

The Thee and Thou only for God is a kind of nonsense. It would have been great had they kept the thee, thou and thine for all the singular pronouns.

 

NASB - Ya'll version [LINK]

Psalm 130 NASB 2020
Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lᴏʀᴅ.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the sound of my pleadings.
If You, Lᴏʀᴅ, were to keep guilty deeds,
O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with You,
So that You may be revered.
I wait for the Lᴏʀᴅ, my soul waits,
And I wait for His word.
My soul for the Lord
More than the watchmen for the morning;
, the watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, wait for the Lᴏʀᴅ;
For with the Lᴏʀᴅ there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his guilty deeds.

 

NASB '95 super giant print bibles are nice (hardback and leather). I also like the recent reference NASB.
