Psalms 80-82

Psa 80:1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.

Psa 80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!

Psa 80:3 Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Psa 80:4 Yahweh God of Armies, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

Psa 80:5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.

Psa 80:6 You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.

Psa 80:7 Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Psa 80:8 You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.

Psa 80:9 You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.

Psa 80:10 The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars.

Psa 80:11 It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.

Psa 80:12 Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

Psa 80:13 The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.

Psa 80:14 Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,

Psa 80:15 the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.

Psa 80:16 It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.

Psa 81:2 Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.

Psa 81:3 Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.

Psa 81:4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

Psa 81:5 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn't know.

Psa 81:6 "I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.

Psa 81:7 You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah." Selah.

Psa 81:8 "Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!

Psa 81:9 There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.

Psa 81:10 I am Yahweh, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Psa 81:11 But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.

Psa 81:12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.

Psa 81:13 Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

Psa 81:14 I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.

Psa 81:15 The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

Psa 81:16 But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock."

Psa 82:1 God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

Psa 82:2 "How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" Selah.

Psa 82:3 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

Psa 82:4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."

Psa 82:5 They don't know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Psa 82:6 I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

Psa 82:7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."

Psa 82:8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations. 

 

The Composite Bible

The World English Bible

Darby's Translation

Young's Literal Translation

The Composite Bible is a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the World English Bible (the least literal-black text) for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue text)to make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the most literal translation- red text) at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make you think about what the Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial manner.

Sept. 18

1 Corinthians 14

1Co 14:1 Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

1Co 14:2 For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

1Co 14:3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

1Co 14:4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

1Co 14:5 Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

1Co 14:6 But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

1Co 14:7 Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they didn't give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?

1Co 14:8 For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?

1Co 14:9 So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

1Co 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

1Co 14:11 If then I don't know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.

1Co 14:12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

1Co 14:13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

1Co 14:14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

1Co 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

1Co 14:16 Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn't know what you say?

1Co 14:17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

1Co 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

1Co 14:19 However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

1Co 14:20 Brothers, don't be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

1Co 14:21 In the law it is written, "By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord."

1Co 14:22 Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

1Co 14:23 If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?

1Co 14:24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

1Co 14:25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

1Co 14:26 What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

1Co 14:27 If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

1Co 14:28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

1Co 14:29 Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

1Co 14:30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

1Co 14:31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.

1Co 14:32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

1Co 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints,

1Co 14:34 let your wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the law also says.

1Co 14:35 If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.

1Co 14:36 What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

1Co 14:37 If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

1Co 14:38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

1Co 14:39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don't forbid speaking with other languages.

1Co 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

But greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, unless he interpret,

Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they didn`t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?

Even lifeless things giving a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give not distinction to

the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

yet the things without life giving sound -- whether pipe or harp -- if a difference

in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that

which is harped?

1 Corinthians 14 8

For if the trumpet gave an uncertain voice, who would prepare himself for war?

For also, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for war?

for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who shall prepare himself for

battle?

So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

Thus also *ye* with the tongue, unless ye give a distinct speech, how shall it be known

what is spoken? for ye will be speaking to the air.

so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give -- how

shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

sound.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is

unmeaning,

If then I don`t know the meaning of the voice, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.

If therefore I do not know the power of the sound, I shall be to him that speaks a

barbarian, and he that speaks a barbarian for me.

foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner;

Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

Wherefore let him that speaks with a tongue pray that he may interpret.

wherefore he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue -- let him pray that he may

interpret;

1 Corinthians 14 14

For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

For if I pray with a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

for if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit doth pray, and my understanding

is unfruitful.
