A psalm of Asaph.ad
1 The Mighty One, God,J the Lord, speaks;
he summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to its setting.ae
2 From Zion, the perfection of beauty,
3 Our God is coming; he will not be silent!
Devouring fire precedes him,
and a storm rages around him.b
4 On high, he summons heaven and earth
in order to judge his people:c
5 “Gather my faithful ones to me,
those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”d
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,e
for God is the Judge.f
Selah
7 “Listen, my people, and I will speak;
I will testify against you, Israel.
I am God, your God.g
8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or for your burnt offerings,
which are continually before me.h
9 I will not take a bull from your household
or male goats from your pens,i
10 for every animal of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird of the mountains,
and the creatures of the field are mine.j
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and everything in it is mine.k
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?l
14 Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice to God,m
and pay your vows to the Most High.n
15 Call on me in a day of trouble;
I will rescue you, and you will honor me.”o
16 But God says to the wicked:
“What right do you have to recite my statutes
and to take my covenant on your lips?p
and fling my words behind you.q
you make friends with him,
and you associate with adulterers.r
19 You unleash your mouth for evil
and harness your tongue for deceit.s
20 You sit, maligning your brother,
slandering your mother’s son.t
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent;
you thought I was just like you.u
But I will rebuke you
and lay out the case before you.B,v
22 “Understand this, you who forget God,
or I will tear you apart,
and there will be no one to rescue you.w
23 Whoever offers a thanksgiving sacrifice honors me,
and whoever orders his conduct,
I will show him the salvation of God.”x

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
