- 1[A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD.] Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.תְּ֭פִלָּה לְעָנִ֣י כִֽי יַעֲטֹ֑ף וְלִפְנֵ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה יִשְׁפֹּ֥ךְ שִׂיחֽוֹ
- 2Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.יְ֭הוָה שִׁמְעָ֣ה תְפִלָּתִ֑י וְ֝שַׁוְעָתִ֗י אֵלֶ֥יךָ תָבֽוֹא
- 3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.אַל תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨יךָ מִמֶּנִּי֮ בְּי֪וֹם צַ֫ר הַטֵּֽה אֵלַ֥י אָזְנֶ֑ךָ בְּי֥וֹם אֶ֝קְרָ֗א מַהֵ֥ר עֲנֵֽנִי
- 4My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.כִּֽי כָל֣וּ בְעָשָׁ֣ן יָמָ֑י וְ֝עַצְמוֹתַ֗י כְּמוֹ קֵ֥ד נִחָֽרוּ
- 5By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.הוּכָּֽה כָ֭עֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַ֣שׁ לִבִּ֑י כִּֽי שָׁ֝כַ֗חְתִּי מֵאֲכֹ֥ל לַחְמִֽי
- 6I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.מִקּ֥וֹל אַנְחָתִ֑י דָּבְקָ֥ה עַ֝צְמִ֗י לִבְשָׂרִֽי
- 7I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.דָּ֭מִיתִי לִקְאַ֣ת מִדְבָּ֑ר הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כְּכ֣וֹס חֳרָבֽוֹת
- 8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.שָׁקַ֥דְתִּי וָאֶֽהְיֶ֑ה כְּ֝צִפּ֗וֹר בּוֹדֵ֥ד עַל גָּֽג
- 9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,כָּל הַ֭יּוֹם חֵרְפ֣וּנִי אוֹיְבָ֑י מְ֝הוֹלָלַ֗י נִשְׁבָּֽעוּ
- 10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.כִּי אֵ֭פֶר כַּלֶּ֣חֶם אָכָ֑לְתִּי וְ֝שִׁקֻּוַ֗י בִּבְכִ֥י מָסָֽכְתִּי
- 11My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.מִפְּנֵֽי זַֽעַמְךָ֥ וְקִצְפֶּ֑ךָ כִּ֥י נְ֝שָׂאתַ֗נִי וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵֽנִי
- 12But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.יָ֭מַי כְּצֵ֣ל נָט֑וּי וַ֝אֲנִ֗י כָּעֵ֥שֶׂב אִיבָֽשׁ
- 13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.וְאַתָּ֣ה יְ֭הוָה לְעוֹלָ֣ם תֵּשֵׁ֑ב וְ֝זִכְרְךָ֗ לְדֹ֣ר וָדֹֽר
- 14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.אַתָּ֣ה תָ֭קוּם תְּרַחֵ֣ם צִיּ֑וֹן כִּי עֵ֥ת לְ֝חֶֽנְנָ֗הּ כִּי בָ֥א מוֹעֵֽד
- 15So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.כִּֽי רָצ֣וּ עֲ֭בָדֶיךָ אֶת אֲבָנֶ֑יהָ וְֽאֶת עֲפָרָ֥הּ יְחֹנֵֽנוּ
- 16When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.וְיִֽירְא֣וּ ג֭וֹיִם אֶת שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה וְֽכָל מַלְכֵ֥י הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ אֶת כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ
- 17He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.כִּֽי בָנָ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה צִיּ֑וֹן נִ֝רְאָ֗ה בִּכְבוֹדֽוֹ
- 18This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.פָּ֭נָה אֶל תְּפִלַּ֣ת הָעַרְעָ֑ר וְלֹֽא בָ֝זָ֗ה אֶת תְּפִלָּתָֽם
- 19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;תִּכָּ֣תֶב זֹ֭את לְד֣וֹר אַחֲר֑וֹן וְעַ֥ם נִ֝בְרָ֗א יְהַלֶּל יָֽהּ
- 20To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;כִּֽי הִ֭שְׁקִיף מִמְּר֣וֹם קָדְשׁ֑וֹ יְ֝הוָ֗ה מִשָּׁמַ֤יִם אֶל אֶ֬רֶץ הִבִּֽיט
- 21To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;לִ֭שְׁמֹעַ אֶנְקַ֣ת אָסִ֑יר לְ֝פַתֵּ֗חַ בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה
- 22When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.לְסַפֵּ֣ר בְּ֭צִיּוֹן שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝תְהִלָּת֗וֹ בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם
- 23He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.בְּהִקָּבֵ֣ץ עַמִּ֣ים יַחְדָּ֑ו וּ֝מַמְלָכ֗וֹת לַעֲבֹ֥ד אֶת יְהוָֽה
- 24I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.עִנָּ֖ה בַדֶּ֥רֶךְ כחו כֹּחִ֗י קִצַּ֥ר יָמָֽי
- 25Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.אֹמַ֗ר אֵלִ֗י אַֽל תַּ֭עֲלֵנִי בַּחֲצִ֣י יָמָ֑י בְּד֖וֹר דּוֹרִ֣ים שְׁנוֹתֶֽיךָ
- 26They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:לְ֭פָנִים הָאָ֣רֶץ יָסַ֑דְתָּ וּֽמַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יָדֶ֣יךָ שָׁמָֽיִם
- 27But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.הֵ֤מָּה יֹאבֵדוּ֮ וְאַתָּ֪ה תַ֫עֲמֹ֥ד וְ֭כֻלָּם כַּבֶּ֣גֶד יִבְל֑וּ כַּלְּב֖וּשׁ תַּחֲלִיפֵ֣ם וְֽיַחֲלֹֽפוּ
- 28The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.וְאַתָּה ה֑וּא וּ֝שְׁנוֹתֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א יִתָּֽמּוּ

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
