For the choir director: according to “A Silent Dove Far Away.” A Miktam of David. When the Philistines seized him in Gath.k
1 Be gracious to me, God, for a man is trampling me;
he fights and oppresses me all day long.
2 My adversaries trample me all day,
for many arrogantly fight against me.A,l
I will trust in you.m
4 In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?n
5 They twist my words all day long;
all their thoughts against me are evil.o
6 They stir up strife,B they lurk,
they watch my steps
while they wait to take my life.p
7 Will they escape in spite of such sin?
God, bring down the nations in wrath.q
8 You yourself have recorded my wanderings.C
Put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your book?r
9 Then my enemies will retreat on the day when I call.s
This I know: God is for me.t
10 In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mere humans do to me?u
12 I am obligated by vowsD to you, God;
I will make my thanksgiving sacrifices to you.v
13 For you rescued me from death,
even my feet from stumbling,
to walk before God in the light of life.w

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. |
