89:30 If his children forsake my law, and don't walk in my
ordinances;
Psa
89:31 if they break my statutes, and don't keep my commandments;
Psa
89:32 then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity

Psa
89:33 But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him,
nor allow my faithfulness to fail.

uttered.

me.

Psa
89:38 But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with
your anointed.
Psa
89:39 You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have
defiled his crown in the dust.
Psa
89:40 You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his
strongholds to ruin.

89:41 All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to
his neighbors.
Psa
89:42 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have
made all of his enemies rejoice.

supported him in battle.
Psa
89:44 You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the
ground.
Psa
89:45 You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him
with shame. Selah.
Psa
89:46 How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your
wrath burn like fire?

89:47 Remember how short my time is! For what vanity have you
created all the children of men!
Psa
89:48 What man is he who shall live and not see death, who shall
deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah.
Psa
89:49 Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore
to David in your faithfulness?
Psa
89:50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in
my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
Psa
89:51 With which your enemies have mocked, Yahweh, with which they
have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
Psa
89:52 Blessed be Yahweh forevermore. Amen, and Amen.
Psa
90:1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
Psa
90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed
the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you
are God.
Psa
90:3 You turn man to destruction, saying, "Return, you children
of men."
Psa
90:4 For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when
it is past, like a watch in the night.
Psa
90:5 You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout
like new grass.
Psa
90:6 In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is
withered and dry.
Psa
90:7 For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your
wrath.
Psa
90:8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the
light of your presence.
Psa
90:9 For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our
years to an end as a sigh.
Psa
90:10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of
strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for
it passes quickly, and we fly away.
Psa
90:11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the
fear that is due to you?
Psa
90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of
wisdom.
Psa
90:13 Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!
Psa
90:14 Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we
may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Psa
90:15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as
many years as we have seen evil.
Psa
90:16 Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their
children.
Psa
90:17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work
of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
Psa
91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in
the shadow of the Almighty.
Psa
91:2 I will say of Yahweh, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my
God, in whom I trust."
Psa
91:3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from
the deadly pestilence.
Psa
91:4 He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will
take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
Psa
91:5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the
arrow that flies by day;
Psa
91:6 nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the
destruction that wastes at noonday.
Psa
91:7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your
right hand; but it will not come near you.
Psa
91:8 You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of
the wicked.
Psa
91:9 Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High
your dwelling place,
Psa
91:10 no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come
near your dwelling.
Psa
91:11 For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in
all your ways.
Psa
91:12 They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won't dash
your foot against a stone.
Psa
91:13 You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the
young lion and the serpent underfoot.
Psa
91:14 "Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will
deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.
Psa
91:15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him
in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
Psa
91:16 I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation."

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.

2 Corinthians 1
2Co 1:1 Paul, an
apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our
brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the
saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
2Co 1:2 Grace to you
and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Co 1:3 Blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and
God of all comfort;
2Co 1:4 who comforts us
in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are
in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are
comforted by God.
2Co 1:5 For as the
sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds
through Christ.
2Co 1:6 But if we are
afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted,
it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of
the same sufferings which we also suffer.
2Co 1:7 Our hope for
you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the
sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.
2Co 1:8 For we don't
desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction
which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly,
beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
2Co 1:9 Yes, we
ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we
should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
2Co 1:10 who delivered
us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our
hope that he will also still deliver us;
2Co 1:11 you also
helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the
gift bestowed on us by means of many, thanks may be given by many
persons on your behalf.
2Co 1:12 For our
boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness
and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God
we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
2Co 1:13 For we write
no other things to you, than what you read or even acknowledge, and I
hope you will acknowledge to the end;
2Co 1:14 as also you
acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also
are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
2Co 1:15 In this
confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might
have a second benefit;
2Co 1:16 and by you to
pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to
be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
2Co 1:17 When I
therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things
that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me
there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"
2Co 1:18 But as God is
faithful, our word toward you was not "Yes and no."
2Co 1:19 For the Son of
God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus,
and Timothy, was not "Yes and no," but in him is "Yes."
2Co 1:20 For however
many are the promises of God, in him is the "Yes."
Therefore also through him is the "Amen," to the glory of
God through us.
2Co 1:21 Now he who
establishes us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;
2Co 1:22 who also
sealed us, and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
2Co 1:23 But I call God
for a witness to my soul, that I didn't come to Corinth to spare you.
2Co 1:24 Not that we
have lordship over your faith, but are fellow workers with you for
your joy. For you stand firm in faith.
