THE LORD DELIVERS THE RIGHTEOUS
Concerning David, when he pretended to be insane in the presence of Abimelech,r who drove him out, and he departed.
1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.s
2 I will boast in the Lord;t
the humble will hear and be glad.u
3 Proclaim the Lord’s greatness with me;v
let us exalt his name together.w
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and rescued me from all my fears.x
5 Those who look to him areA radiant with joy;y
their faces will never be ashamed.z
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and saved him from all his troubles.aa
7 The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him, and rescues them.ab
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good.ac
How happy is the person who takes refuge in him!ad
9 You who are his holy ones, fear the Lord,
for those who fear him lack nothing.ae
10 Young lionsB lack food and go hungry,af
but those who seek the Lord
will not lack any good thing.ag
11 Come, children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.ah
12 Who is someone who desires life,
loving a long life to enjoy what is good?ai
and your lips from deceitful speech.aj
14 Turn away from evil and do what is good;ak
seek peace and pursue it.al
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry for help.am
16 The face of the Lord is set
against those who do what is evil,an
to removeC all memory of them from the earth.ao
17 The righteousA cry out, and the Lord hears,
and rescues them from all their troubles.a
18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
he saves those crushed in spirit.b
19 One who is righteous has many adversities,
but the Lord rescues him from them all.c
not one of them is broken.d
21 Evil brings death to the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be punished.e
22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants,
and all who take refuge in him will not be punished.f

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. |
