A prayer of David.
1 Lord, hear a just cause;af
pay attention to my cry;
listen to my prayer—
from lips free of deceit.ag
2 Let my vindication come from you,
for you see what is right.ah
3 You have tested my heart;ai
you have examined me at night.
You have tried me and found nothing evil;aj
I have determined that my mouth will not sin.J
by the words from your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.a
my feet have not slipped.b
because you will answer me;c
listen closely to me; hear what I say.
7 Display the wonders of your faithful love,d
Savior of all who seek refugee
from those who rebel against your right hand.A
8 Protect me as the pupil of your eye;f
hide me in the shadow of your wingsg
9 fromB the wicked who treat me violently,C
my deadly enemies who surround me.h
their mouths speak arrogantly.j
11 They advance against me;E now they surround me.k
They are determinedF
to throw me to the ground.l
12 They areG like a lion eager to tear,
like a young lion lurking in ambush.m
Confront him; bring him down.n
With your sword, save me from the wicked.o
14 With your hand, Lord, save me from men,
from men of the world
whose portion is in this life:
You fill their bellies with what you have in store;
their sons are satisfied,
and they leave their surplus to their children.p
15 But I will see your face in righteousness;q

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. |
