out the heavens like a curtain.

104:3 He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the
clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.
Psa
104:4 He makes his messengers winds; his servants flames of fire.
Psa
104:5 He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be
moved forever.
Psa
104:6 You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood
above the mountains.
Psa
104:7 At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they
hurried away.
Psa
104:8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down, to the place which
you had assigned to them.
Psa
104:9 You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; that they
don't turn again to cover the earth.
Psa
104:10 He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the
mountains.
Psa
104:11 They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild
donkeys quench their thirst.
Psa
104:12 The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the
branches.
Psa
104:13 He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is
filled with the fruit of your works.
Psa
104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for
man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth:
Psa
104:15 wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face
to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
Psa
104:16 Yahweh's trees are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon, which
he has planted;
Psa
104:17 where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in
the fir trees.
Psa
104:18 The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a
refuge for the rock badgers.
Psa
104:19 He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set.
Psa
104:20 You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the animals
of the forest prowl.
Psa
104:21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food
from God.
Psa
104:22 The sun rises, and they steal away, and lay down in their
dens.
Psa
104:23 Man goes forth to his work, to his labor until the evening.
Psa
104:24 Yahweh, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them
all. The earth is full of your riches.
Psa
104:25 There is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable
living things, both small and large animals.
Psa
104:26 There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play
there.
Psa
104:27 These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in
due season.
Psa
104:28 You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are
satisfied with good.
Psa
104:29 You hide your face: they are troubled; you take away their
breath: they die, and return to the dust.
Psa
104:30 You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the
face of the ground.
Psa
104:31 Let the glory of Yahweh endure forever. Let Yahweh rejoice in
his works.
Psa
104:32 He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the
mountains, and they smoke.
Psa
104:33 I will sing to Yahweh as long as I live. I will sing praise
to my God while I have any being.
Psa
104:34 Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in
Yahweh.
Psa
104:35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth. Let the wicked be
no more. Bless Yahweh, my soul. Praise Yah!

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.

2Co 5:1 For we know
that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a
building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the
heavens.
2Co 5:2 For most
certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation
which is from heaven;
2Co 5:3 if so be that
being clothed we will not be found naked.
2Co 5:4 For indeed we
who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to
be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal
may be swallowed up by life.
2Co 5:5 Now he who made
us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment
of the Spirit.
2Co 5:6 Therefore, we
are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body,
we are absent from the Lord;
2Co 5:7 for we walk by
faith, not by sight.
2Co 5:8 We are of good
courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body,
and to be at home with the Lord.
2Co 5:9 Therefore also
we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to
him.
2Co 5:10 For we must
all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ; that each one may
receive the things in the body, according to what he has done,
whether good or bad.
2Co 5:11 Knowing
therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed
to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
2Co 5:12 For we are not
commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion
of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer
those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is

of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for
all, therefore all died.
2Co 5:15 He died for
all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to
him who for their sakes died and rose again.

know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known
Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed
away. Behold, all things have become new.

a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different

World English Bible (the least literal-black

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

at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
