For the choir director. A Maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite went and reported to Saul, telling him, “David went to Ahimelech’s house.”l
1 Why boast about evil, you hero!m
God’s faithful love is constant.n
your tongue devises destruction,
working treachery.o
3 You love evil instead of good,
lying instead of speaking truthfully.p
Selah
4 You love any words that destroy,
you treacherous tongue!q
5 This is why God will bring you down forever.
He will take you, ripping you out of your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.r
Selah
6 The righteous will see and fear,
and they will derisively say about that hero,C,s
who would not make God his refuge,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”t
8 But I am like a flourishing olive tree
in the house of God;u
I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever.v
9 I will praise you forever for what you have done.
In the presence of your faithful people,
I will put my hope in your name, for it is good.w

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. |
