Literal Standard Version (LSV)

Version 2 released October 2, 2025! Welcome to the LSV Bible app for Android devices. This Bible app is a simple-to-use, but feature-rich LSV Bible reader with the complete Old and New Testament of the new Literal Standard Version by Covenant Press, just released in 2020. THE GROUNDBREAKING LITERAL STANDARD VERSION ●A modern, literal, word-for-word (formal equivalence) English translation of the Holy Scriptures. The LSV is the most literal translation of The Holy Bible ever made into the English language, based on Robert Young’s excellent Young’s Literal Translation. ●Preservation of verb tenses wherever possible. ●Utilization of the transliterated Tetragrammaton in the Old Testament. All uppercase LORD is used in the New Testament when a reference to YHWH is likely. ●Unlike most translations, justified typographic alignment consistent with the style of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek biblical autographs. The ancient caesura mark is used for easy readability of poetic literature such as the Psalms. ●Inclusion of the verses found in older English translations such as the King James Version (KJV) that are not found in many modern translations; and inclusion of the alternative LXX Genesis chronology set next to the MT. These are contained within bolded double brackets for distinction. ●Capitalized pronouns and other nounal forms when referring to God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit. References to the Messenger of the LORD are also capitalized when the subject appears to be a clear reference to God or the Messiah (as found in translations such as the NKJV).
