For the choir director: according to Muth-labben. A psalm of David.
1 I will thank the Lord with all my heart;
I will declare all your wondrous works.i
2 I will rejoice and boast about you;j
I will sing about your name, Most High.k
they stumble and perish before you.l
4 For you have upheld my just cause;m
you are seated on your throne as a righteous judge.n
5 You have rebuked the nations:o
You have destroyed the wicked;p
you have erased their name forever and ever.q
6 The enemy has come to eternal ruin;
you have uprooted the cities,
and the very memory of them has perished.r
7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever;s
he has established his throne for judgment.t
8 And he judges the world with righteousness;
he executes judgment on the nations with fairness.u
9 The Lord is a refuge for the persecuted,
a refuge in times of trouble.v
10 Those who know your name trust in you
because you have not abandoned
those who seek you, Lord.w
11 Sing to the Lord, who dwells in Zion;x
proclaim his deeds among the nations.y
12 For the one who seeks an accounting
for bloodshed remembers them;z
he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.aa
consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me.ab
Lift me up from the gates of death,ac
14 so that I may declare all your praises.
I will rejoice in your salvationad
within the gates of Daughter Zion.
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they made;
their foot is caught in the net they have concealed.ae
16 The Lord has made himself known;
he has executed justice,af
by the work of their hands.a
Higgaion. Selah
17 The wicked will return to Sheolb—
all the nations that forget God.c
18 For the needy will not always be forgotten;
the hope of the oppressedA will not perish forever.d
19 Rise up, Lord! Do not let mere humans prevail;
let the nations be judged in your presence.e
20 Put terror in them, Lord;f
let the nations know they are only humans.g
Selah

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. |
