Psalms 74-76

Psa 74:1 God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?

Psa 74:2 Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which you have lived.

Psa 74:3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.

Psa 74:4 Your adversaries have roared in the midst of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.

Psa 74:5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.

Psa 74:6 Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.

Psa 74:7 They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.

Psa 74:8 They said in their heart, "We will crush them completely." They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.

Psa 74:9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.

Psa 74:10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

Psa 74:11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your pocket and consume them!

Psa 74:15 You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.

Psa 74:16 The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.

Psa 74:17 You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.

Psa 74:18 Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.

Psa 74:20 Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.

Psa 74:21 Don't let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.

Psa 74:22 Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.

Psa 74:23 Don't forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.

Psa 75:3 The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.

Psa 75:4 I said to the arrogant, "Don't boast!" I said to the wicked, "Don't lift up the horn.

Psa 75:5 Don't lift up your horn on high. Don't speak with a stiff neck."

Psa 75:6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

Psa 75:7 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.

Psa 75:8 For in the hand of Yahweh there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

Psa 75:10 I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

Psa 76:1 In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

Psa 76:2 His tabernacle is also in Salem; His dwelling place in Zion.

Psa 76:3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.

Psa 76:4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

Psa 76:5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

Psa 76:6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

Psa 76:7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

Psa 76:8 You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

Psa 76:9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.

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.

1 Corinthians 12

1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don't want you to be ignorant.

1Co 12:2 You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

1Co 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.

1Co 12:4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

1Co 12:5 There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.

1Co 12:6 There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.

1Co 12:7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.

1Co 12:8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

1Co 12:9 to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit;

1Co 12:10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages.

1Co 12:11 But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

1Co 12:13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.

1Co 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.

1Co 12:15 If the foot would say, "Because I'm not the hand, I'm not part of the body," it is not therefore not part of the body.

1Co 12:16 If the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," it's not therefore not part of the body.

1Co 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?

1Co 12:18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.

1Co 12:19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?

1Co 12:20 But now they are many members, but one body.

1Co 12:21 The eye can't tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."

1Co 12:22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

1Co 12:23 Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;

1Co 12:24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

1Co 12:25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

1Co 12:26 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

1Co 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

1Co 12:28 God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.

1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?

1Co 12:30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?

1Co 12:31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

comeliness;

and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put

more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant,

and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the

lacking part having given more abundant honour,

member is glorified, rejoice with [it] do all the members;
