Psalm 106:48

 1  Praise the Lord!  Oh give thanks to the Lord,  for he is good,  for his steadfast love endures forever!  2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord, or declare all his praise?  3 Blessed are they who observe justice, who  do righteousness at all times!  4  Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,   5 that I may look upon the prosperity of your  chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.  6  Both we and  our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.  7 Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they  did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but  rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.  8 Yet he saved them  for his name's sake,  that he might make known his mighty power.  9 He  rebuked the Red Sea, and it  became dry, and he  led them through the deep as through a desert.  10 So he  saved them from the hand of the foe and  redeemed them from the power of the enemy.  11 And  the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left.  12 Then  they believed his words; they  sang his praise.  13 But they soon  forgot his works; they did not wait for  his counsel.  14 But they had  a wanton craving in the wilderness, and  put God to the test in the desert;  15 he  gave them what they asked, but sent  a wasting disease among them.  16 When men in the camp  were jealous of Moses and Aaron,  the holy one of the Lord,  17  the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.  18  Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.  19 They  made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image.  20 They  exchanged the glory of God  for the image of an ox that eats grass.  21 They  forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,  22 wondrous works in  the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.  23 Therefore  he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his  chosen one,  stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.  24 Then they  despised  the pleasant land, having  no faith in his promise.  25 They  murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the Lord.  26 Therefore he  raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness,  27 and would make their offspring fall among the nations,  scattering them among the lands.  28 Then they  yoked themselves to the  Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to  the dead;  29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.  30 Then  Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stayed.  31 And that was  counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever.  32 They  angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account,  33 for they  made his spirit bitter,  and he  spoke rashly with his lips.  34 They did not  destroy the peoples,  as the Lord commanded them,  35 but they  mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did.  36 They served their idols, which became  a snare to them.  37 They  sacrificed their sons and their daughters to  the demons;  38 they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was  polluted with blood.  39 Thus they  became unclean by their acts, and  played the whore in their deeds.  40 Then  the anger of the Lord was kindled against  his people, and he abhorred his  heritage;  41 he  gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them.  42 Their enemies  oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power.  43  Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their  purposes and were  brought low through their iniquity.  44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he  heard their cry.  45 For their sake he  remembered his covenant, and  relented according to  the abundance of his steadfast love.  46 He caused them to be  pitied by all those who held them captive.  47  Save us, O Lord our God, and  gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.  48  Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting!  And let all the people say, “Amen!”  Praise the Lord!

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
