A psalm of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.p
1 God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you.
I thirst for you;
my body faints for you
in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.q
2 So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and your glory.r
because your faithful love is better than life.s
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
at your name, I will lift up my hands.t
5 You satisfy me as with rich food;C,u
my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.v
6 When I think of you as I lie on my bed,
I meditate on you during the night watchesw
7 because you are my helper;x
I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.y
your right hand holds on to me.z
9 But those who intend to destroy my life
will go into the depths of the earth.aa
10 They will be given over to the power of the sword;ab
they will become a meal for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;ac
all who swear by him will boast,
for the mouths of liars will be shut.ad

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. |
