HUMAN WICKEDNESS AND GOD’S LOVE
For the choir director. Of David, the Lord’s servant.
concerning the transgression of the wicked person:
Dread of God has no effect on him.A,f
2 For with his flattering opinion of himself,
he does not discover and hate his iniquity.g
3 The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive;h
he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.i
4 Even on his bed he makes malicious plans.j
He sets himself on a path that is not good,
and he does not reject evil.k
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to heaven,
your faithfulness to the clouds.l
6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your judgments like the deepest sea.m
Lord, you preserve people and animals.n
7 How priceless your faithful love is, God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.o
8 They are filled from the abundance of your house.
You let them drink from your refreshing stream.p
9 For the wellspring of life is with you.q
By means of your light we see light.r
10 Spread your faithful love over those who know you,
and your righteousness over the upright in heart.s
11 Do not let the foot of the arrogant come near me
or the hand of the wicked drive me away.t
12 There! The evildoers have fallen.
They have been thrown down and cannot rise.u

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. |
