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

Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
proclaim his deeds among the peoples. 
Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell about all his wondrous works! 
Boast in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the  LORD  rejoice. 
Seek the  LORD and his strength;
seek his face always. 
Remember the wondrous works he has done,
his wonders, and the judgments he has pronounced,  ,
you offspring of Abraham his servant,
Jacob’s descendants — his chosen ones. 

He is the LORD our God;
his judgments govern the whole earth. 
He remembers his covenant forever,
the promise he ordained
for a thousand generations   —
the covenant he made with Abraham,
swore  to Isaac, 
and confirmed to Jacob as a decree
and to Israel as a permanent covenant: 
“I will give the land of Canaan to you
as your inherited portion.” 

When they were few in number,
very few indeed,
and resident aliens in Canaan, 
wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another, 
he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their behalf: 
“Do not touch my anointed ones, 
or harm my prophets.” 

He called down famine against the land
and destroyed the entire food supply. 
He had sent a man ahead of them —
Joseph, who was sold as a slave. 
They hurt his feet with shackles;
his neck was put in an iron collar. 
Until the time his prediction came true,
the word of the  LORD tested him. 
The king sent for him and released him;
the ruler of peoples set him free. 
He made him master of his household,
ruler over all his possessions   —
binding  his officials at will
and instructing his elders. 

Then Israel went to Egypt;
Jacob lived as an alien in the land of Ham.  ,
The LORD   made his people very fruitful;
he made them more numerous than their foes, 
whose hearts he turned to hate his people
and to deal deceptively with his servants. 
He sent Moses his servant,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen. 
They performed his miraculous signs among them
and wonders in the land of Ham. 
He sent darkness, and it became dark —
for did they not defy his commands? 
He turned their water into blood
and caused their fish to die. 
Their land was overrun with frogs,
even in their royal chambers. 
He spoke, and insects came   —
gnats throughout their country. 
He gave them hail for rain,
and lightning throughout their land. 
He struck their vines and fig trees
and shattered the trees of their territory. 
He spoke, and locusts came —
young locusts without number.
They devoured all the vegetation in their land
and consumed the produce of their land. 
He struck all the firstborn in their land,
all their first progeny. 

Then he brought Israel out with silver and gold,
and no one among his tribes stumbled. 
Egypt was glad when they left,
for the dread of Israel  had fallen on them. 
He spread a cloud as a covering
and gave a fire to light up the night. 
They asked, and he brought quail
and satisfied them with bread from heaven. 
He opened a rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed like a stream in the desert. 
For he remembered his holy promise
to Abraham his servant. 
He brought his people out with rejoicing,
his chosen ones with shouts of joy. 
He gave them the lands of the nations,
and they inherited
what other peoples had worked for. 

All this happened
so that they might keep his statutes
and obey his instructions. 
Hallelujah!
