NASU/NLTse

Verse 60 -- NASBU has hastened ( Who says this these days ? )
NLTse has hurry .

Verse 68 -- Do good
Do only good

Verse 96 -- Exceedingly broad
No limit ( same as HCSB )

V. 122 -- Surety ( kind of an old-fashioned word -- good in its place -- I will bring it up in future thread unrelated to translational issues )
Guarantee ( A more understandable word which the HCSB also uses here .)

V. 151 -- All Your commandments are truth.
All your commands are true . ( Same as the HCSB )

V. 162 -- Finds great spoil . ( Who speaks like this these days ? )
Like one who discovers a great treasure . ( The HCSB has : Like one who finds vast treasure .)

The NLTse likes to use the word "instructions" . But it's not the same as directions to a starter kit
