For the choir director. A psalm of David.
1 Happy is one who is considerate of the poor;
the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.g
2 The Lord will keep him and preserve him;
he will be blessed in the land.h
You will not give him over to the desire of his enemies.i
3 The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed;
you will heal him on the bed where he lies.j
4 I said, “Lord, be gracious to me;
heal me, for I have sinned against you.”k
5 My enemies speak maliciously about me:
“When will he die and be forgotten?”l
6 When one of them comes to visit, he speaks deceitfully;
he stores up evil in his heart;
he goes out and talks.m
7 All who hate me whisper together about me;
they plan to harm me.n
8 “Something awful has overwhelmed him,A
and he won’t rise again from where he lies!”o
9 Even my friendB in whom I trusted,
one who ate my bread,
has raised his heel against me.p
10 But you, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up;
then I will repay them.q
11 By this I know that you delight in me:r
my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.s
12 You supported me because of my integrityt
and set me in your presence forever.u
13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and amen.v

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. |
