you have broken us down;
you have been angry. Restore us!B,l
2 You have shaken the land and split it open.
Heal its fissures, for it shudders.m
3 You have made your people suffer hardship;
you have given us wine to drink
that made us stagger.n
4 You have given a signal flag to those who fear you,
so that they can flee before the archers.C,o
Selah
5 Save with your right hand, and answer me,
so that those you love may be rescued.p
6 God has spoken in his sanctuary:D
“I will celebrate!
I will divide up Shechem.q
I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.r
7 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine,
and Ephraim is my helmet;s
Judah is my scepter.t
8 Moab is my washbasin.u
I throw my sandal on Edom;v
I shout in triumph over Philistia.”w
9 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?x
10 God, haven’t you rejected us?
God, you do not march out with our armies.y
11 Give us aid against the foe,
for human help is worthless.z
12 With God we will perform valiantly;aa
he will trample our foes.ab

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. |
