For the choir director. A psalm of David.
1 Rescue me, Lord, from evil men.
Keep me safe from violent menc
2 who plan evil in their hearts.
They stir up wars all day long.d
as sharp as a snake’s bite;
viper’s venom is under their lips.e
Selah
from the power of the wicked.f
Keep me safe from violent men
who plan to make me stumble.B,g
5 The proud hide a trap with ropes for me;
they spread a net along the path
and set snares for me.h
Selah
6 I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”
Listen, Lord, to my cry for help.i
7 Lord, my Lord, my strong Savior,
you shield my head on the day of battle.j
8 Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked;
do not let them achieve their goals.
Otherwise, they will become proud.k
Selah
9 When those who surround me rise up,C
may the trouble their lips cause overwhelm them.l
10 Let hot coals fall on them.
Let them be thrown into the fire,
into the abyss, never again to rise.m
11 Do not let a slanderer stay in the land.
Let evil relentlesslyD hunt down a violent man.n
12 IE know that the Lord upholds
the just cause of the poor,
justice for the needy.o
13 Surely the righteous will praise your name;
the upright will live in your presence.p

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. |
