The Christian Standard Bible aims to draw readers into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. By translating Scripture into the clearest possible modern English, the CSB allows readers to experience God’s Word at its fullest. Developed by 100 scholars from 17 denominations, the Christian Standard Bible faithfully and accurately captures the Bible’s original meaning without compromising readability. The CSB was created using Optimal Equivalence, a translation philosophy that balances linguistic precision to the original languages and readability in contemporary English. In the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for- word rendering is clearly understandable, a literal translation is used. When a word- for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, a more dynamic translation is used. This process assures that both the words and thoughts contained in the original text are conveyed as accurately as possible for today’s readers. The CSB provides a highly accurate text for sermon preparation and serious study, translated from the biblical languages by scholars who love God’s Word. Yet it doesn’t compromise readability and clarity for those who may be less familiar with the traditional (and sometimes difficult) vocabulary retained in some translations. Research shows the CSB is both highly literal to the original languages and highly readable, achieving an optimal balance of the two. Pastors and laypeople can read and share the Christian Standard Bible with confidence, knowing truth of God’s Word will be communicated effectively. For a more information, visit CSBible.com

LORD
Protect me, God, for I take refuge in you. 
I  said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
I have nothing good besides you.”  ,
As for the holy people who are in the land, 
they are the noble ones.
All my delight is in them.
The sorrows of those who take another god
for themselves will multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips. 

LORD, you are my portion 
and my cup of blessing;
you hold my future. 
The boundary lines have fallen for me
in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 

I will bless the  LORD who counsels me   —
even at night when my thoughts trouble me.  ,
I always let the LORD guide me. 
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken. 

Therefore my heart is glad
and my whole being rejoices;
my body also rests securely. 
For you will not abandon me to Sheol; 
you will not allow your faithful one to see decay. 
You reveal the path of life to me;
in your presence is abundant joy; 
at your right hand are eternal pleasures.
