« | Psalm 131 | » |
1 (A song by David for worship.) I am not conceited, LORD, and I don't waste my time on impossible schemes.
2 But I have learned to feel safe and satisfied, just like a young child on its mother's lap.
3 People of Israel, you must trust the LORD now and forever.
The Contemporary English Version (CEV)
The Contemporary English Version (CEV) is a modern Bible translation that aims to make the scriptures accessible and understandable to a broad audience, including children and those with limited English proficiency. Published by the American Bible Society in 1995, the CEV emphasizes clarity, readability, and ease of comprehension. Unlike more literal translations, the CEV uses a thought-for-thought translation philosophy, which focuses on conveying the original meaning of the text in a way that is clear and straightforward for contemporary readers.
