English Standard Version
The English Standard Version (ESV) is an "essentially literal" translation combining word-for-word precision with literary excellence and readability. The ESV stands in the mainstream of English Bible translations, from William Tyndale through the 1611 King James Version to the 1971 Revised Standard Version. Faithfulness to the text and vigorous pursuit of accuracy are combined with simplicity, beauty, and dignity of expression. Further ESV information from the publishers.
