Be  a rock of  refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!  3 For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your  name's sake you lead me and guide me;  4 you  take me out of  the net they have hidden for me, for you are my  refuge.  5  Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord,  faithful God.  6 I  hate  those who pay  regard to worthless  idols, but I trust in the Lord.  7 I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have  known the distress of my soul,  8 and you have not  delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in  a broad place.  9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am  in distress;  my eye is wasted from grief; my soul and my body also.  10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and  my bones waste away.  11 Because of all my adversaries I have become  a reproach, especially to my  neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street  flee from me.  12 I have been  forgotten like one who is dead; I have become like  a broken vessel.  13 For I  hear the whispering of many— terror on every side!—  as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.  14 But I  trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.”  15 My  times are in your hand;  rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!  16  Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your steadfast love!  17 O Lord,  let me not be put to shame, for I call upon you; let the wicked be put to shame; let them go  silently to Sheol.  18 Let the lying lips be mute, which  speak  insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.  19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you,  in the sight of the children of mankind!  20 In  the cover of your presence you hide them from the plots of men; you  store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues.  21 Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously  shown his steadfast love to me when I was in  a besieged city.  22 I had said in my  alarm,  “I am  cut off from  your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help.  23 Love the Lord, all you his  saints! The Lord preserves the faithful but abundantly  repays the one who acts in pride.  24  Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for 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.
