 1  Praise the Lord! For  it is good to sing praises to our God; for  it is pleasant,  and  a song of praise is fitting.  2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he  gathers the outcasts of Israel.  3 He heals  the brokenhearted and  binds up their wounds.  4 He  determines the number of the stars; he  gives to all of them their names.  5  Great is our Lord, and  abundant in power;  his understanding is beyond measure.  6 The Lord lifts up the humble;  he casts the wicked to the ground.  7  Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on  the lyre!  8 He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares  rain for the earth; he makes  grass grow on the hills.  9 He  gives to the beasts their food, and to  the young ravens that cry.  10 His delight is not in  the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,  11 but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who  hope in his steadfast love.  12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion!  13 For he strengthens  the bars of your gates; he blesses your children within you.  14 He  makes peace in your borders; he  fills you with the  finest of the wheat.  15 He  sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.  16 He gives  snow like wool; he scatters  frost like ashes.  17 He hurls down his crystals of  ice like crumbs; who can stand before his  cold?  18 He  sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.  19 He declares his word to Jacob, his  statutes and rules  to Israel.  20 He  has not dealt thus with any other nation; they do not know his rules.   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.
