King James is indeed better than all these, but for a complete Christian canon and lack of mariophobic mistranslations, use Douay-Rheims

Mariophibic? You mean that they don't acknowledge the co-mediatrix position of the "queen of heaven?"

The Douay-Rheims is a Roman Catholic bible and contains some really bad theology. Do you realize that in Genesis 3:15 that it is a women that is going to crust the head of satan. This redeemer is interpreted in RC circles as Mary.

I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: SHE shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for HER heel. Genesis 3:15

However in the New American Bible, another RC bible, we have

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at HIS heel. - Genesis 3:15

Notice that it is going to be HE who strikes the head of Satan while Satan strike at HIS heal.

Of the bibles you listed the NASB is considered to be the most literal translation.

Thanks for the link. I've never been able to find a Douay-Rheims translation in the bookstores (I currently use the New American Bible) and would love to pick one up.
