« | Psalm 123 | » |
1 LORD, I look up to you, up to heaven, where you rule.
2 As a servant depends on his master, as a maid depends on her mistress, so we will keep looking to you, O LORD our God, until you have mercy on us.
3 Be merciful to us, LORD, be merciful; we have been treated with so much contempt.
4 We have been mocked too long by the rich and scorned by proud oppressors.
The Good News Bible (GNB)
The Good News Bible (GNB), also known as the Good News Translation (GNT) in the United States, is an English translation of the Bible that prioritizes readability and accessibility for a diverse audience. First published in 1966 by the American Bible Society, the GNB was originally designed as a translation for people with limited English proficiency, including non-native speakers and those with lower literacy levels. Its straightforward and contemporary language makes it particularly effective for use in educational settings, churches, and personal study.
