and the hills, righteousness.m
4 May he vindicate the afflicted among the people,
help the poor,
and crush the oppressor.n
5 May they fear youB while the sun endures
and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.o
6 May the king be like rain that falls on the cut grass,
like spring showers that water the earth.p
7 May the righteousC flourish in his days
and well-being abound
until the moon is no more.q
and from the Euphrates
to the ends of the earth.r
9 May desert tribes kneel before him
and his enemies lick the dust.s
and the coasts and islands bring tribute,
the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.t
11 Let all kings bow in homage to him,

and may he be blessed all day long.y
16 May there be plenty of grain in the land;
may it wave on the tops of the mountains.
May its crops be like Lebanon.
May people flourish in the cities
like the grass of the field.z
17 May his name endure forever;
as long as the sun shines,
may his fame increase.
May all nations be blessed by him
and call him blessed.aa

who alone does wonders.ab
19 Blessed be his glorious name forever;
the whole earth is filled with his glory.ac
Amen and amen.

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. |
