A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite.
1 Lord my God, I seek refuge in you;r
save me from all my pursuers and rescue me,s
2 or theyB will tear me like a lion,
ripping me apart with no one to rescue me.t
3 Lord my God, if I have done this,
if there is injustice on my hands,u
4 if I have done harm to one at peace with mev
or have plunderedC my adversary without cause,w
5 may an enemy pursue and overtake me;
may he trample me to the groundx
and leave my honor in the dust.y
Selah
6 Rise up, Lord, in your anger;
lift yourself up against the fury of my adversaries;z
you have ordained a judgment.ab
7 Let the assembly of peoples gather around you;ac
take your seat on high over it.ad
8 The Lord judges the peoples;ae
vindicate me, Lord,
according to my righteousness and my integrity.af
9 Let the evil of the wicked come to an end,ag
but establish the righteous.ah
The one who examines the thoughts and emotionsE
is a righteous God.ai
10 My shield is with God,aj
who saves the upright in heart.ak
and a God who shows his wrath every day.al
he will sharpen his sword;am
he has strung his bow and made it ready.an
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he tips his arrows with fire.ao
14 See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil,
conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.ap
15 He dug a pit and hollowed it out
but fell into the hole he had made.aq
16 His trouble comes back on his own head;
his own violence comes down on top of his head.ar
17 I will thank the Lord for his righteousness;
I will sing about the name of the Lord Most High.as

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. |
