For the choir director: on the Gittith. Of Asaph.aa
1 Sing for joy to God our strength;
shout in triumph to the God of Jacob.ab
2 Lift up a song—play the tambourine,
the melodious lyre, and the harp.ac
3 Blow the trumpet on the day of our feastsH
during the new moonad
and during the full moon.
4 For this is a statute for Israel,
an ordinance of the God of Jacob.ae
5 He set it up as a decree for Joseph
when he went throughoutI the land of Egypt.af
I heard an unfamiliar language:
6 “I relieved his shoulder from the burden;
his hands were freed from carrying the basket.ag
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you;
I answered you from the thundercloud.ah
I tested you at the Waters of Meribah.ai
Selah
8 Listen, my people, and I will admonish you.
Israel, if you would only listen to me!aj
9 There must not be a strange god among you;
you must not bow down to a foreign god.ak
who brought you up from the land of Egypt.al
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.am
11 “But my people did not listen to my voice;
Israel did not obey me.a
12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts
to follow their own plans.b
13 If only my people would listen to me
and Israel would follow my ways,c
14 I would quickly subdue their enemies
and turn my hand against their foes.”d
would cower to him;e
their doom would last forever.f
16 But he would feed IsraelA with the best wheat.
“I would satisfy you with honey from the rock.”g

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. |
