1 Lord, I seek refuge in you;
let me never be disgraced.o
2 In your justice, rescue and deliver me;
listen closely to me and save me.p
where I can always go.
Give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and fortress.q
4 Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.r
5 For you are my hope, Lord God,
my confidence from my youth.s
6 I have leaned on you from birth;
you took me from my mother’s womb.t
My praise is always about you.u
7 I am like a miraculous sign to many,
and you are my strong refuge.v
and honor to you all day long.w
9 Don’t discard me in my old age.
As my strength fails, do not abandon me.x
10 For my enemies talk about me,
and those who spy on me plot together,y
11 saying, “God has abandoned him;
chase him and catch him,
for there is no one to rescue him.”z
12 God, do not be far from me;
my God, hurry to help me.aa
13 May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;
may those who intend to harm me
be covered with disgrace and humiliation.ab
14 But I will hope continually
and will praise you more and more.ac
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness
and your salvation all day long,
though I cannot sum them up.ad
16 I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God;
I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.ae
17 God, you have taught me from my youth,
and I still proclaim your wondrous works.af
18 Even while I am old and gray,
God, do not abandon me,ag
while I proclaim your power
your strength to all who are to come.a
19 Your righteousness reaches the heights, God,
you who have done great things;
God, who is like you?b
20 You caused me to experience
many troubles and misfortunes,c
but you will revive me again.d
You will bring me up again,
even from the depths of the earth.e
and comfort me once again.f
22 Therefore, I will praise you with a harp
for your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing to you with a lyre,
Holy One of Israel.g
when I sing praise to you
because you have redeemed me.h
24 Therefore, my tongue will proclaim
your righteousness all day long,
for those who intend to harm me
will be disgraced and confounded.i

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. |
