For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. When Saul sent agents to watch the house and kill him.q
1 Rescue me from my enemies, my God;r
protect me from those who rise up against me.s
and save me from men of bloodshed.t
3 Because look, Lord, they set an ambush for me.u
Powerful men attack me,
but not because of any sin or rebellion of mine.v
they run and take up a position.
Awake to help me, and take notice.w
5 Lord God of Armies, you are the God of Israel.
Rise up to punish all the nations;
do not show favor to any wicked traitors.x
Selah
6 They return at evening, snarling like dogs
and prowling around the city.y
7 Look, they spew from their mouths—
sharp words fromD their lips.z
“For who,” they say, “will hear?”aa
8 But you laugh at them, Lord;
you ridicule all the nations.ab
9 I will keep watch for you, myE strength,
because God is my stronghold.ac
10 My faithful GodF will come to meet me;
God will let me look down on my adversaries.ad
11 Do not kill them; otherwise, my people will forget.
By your power, make them homeless wanderersae
Lord, our shield.a
12 For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
They utter curses and lies.b
consume them until they are gone.c
Then people will know throughoutA the earth
that God rules over Jacob.d
Selah
14 And they return at evening, snarling like dogs
and prowling around the city.e
they growl if they are not satisfied.f
16 But I will sing of your strength
and will joyfully proclaim
your faithful love in the morning.g
For you have been a stronghold for me,
a refuge in my day of trouble.h
17 To you, my strength, I sing praises,
because God is my stronghold—
my faithful God.i

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. |
