Of David.
1 Blessed be the Lord, my rockx
who trains my hands for battle
and my fingers for warfare.y
2 He is my faithful love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer.
He is my shield,z and I take refuge in him;aa
he subdues my people* under me.ab
3 Lord, what is a human that you care for him,
a son of manD that you think of him?ac
his days are like a passing shadow.ad
5 Lord, part your heavens and come down.ae
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.af
6 Flash your lightning and scatter the foe;E
shoot your arrows and rout them.ag
rescue me from deep water, and set me free
from the grasp of foreignersai
whose right hands are deceptive.a
9 God, I will sing a new song to you;
I will play on a ten-stringed harp for youb—
10 the one who gives victory to kings,
who frees his servant David
from the deadly sword.c
from foreignersd
whose mouths speak lies,
whose right hands are deceptive.e
12 Then our sons will be like plants
nurtured in their youth,
our daughters, like corner pillars
that are carved in the palace style.f
13 Our storehouses will be full,
supplying all kinds of produce;g
our flocks will increase by thousands
and tens of thousands in our open fields.h
14 Our cattle will be well fed.A
There will be no breach in the walls,
no going into captivity,B
and no cry of lament in our public squares.i
15 Happy are the people with such blessings.
Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.j

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. |
