- 1[To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.] Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל הַשְּׁמִינִ֗ית מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד
- 2They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.הוֹשִׁ֣יעָה יְ֭הוָה כִּי גָמַ֣ר חָסִ֑יד כִּי פַ֥סּוּ אֱ֝מוּנִ֗ים מִבְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם
- 3The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:שָׁ֤וְא יְֽדַבְּרוּ֮ אִ֤ישׁ אֶת רֵ֫עֵ֥הוּ שְׂפַ֥ת חֲלָק֑וֹת בְּלֵ֖ב וָלֵ֣ב יְדַבֵּֽרוּ
- 4Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?יַכְרֵ֣ת יְ֭הוָה כָּל שִׂפְתֵ֣י חֲלָק֑וֹת לָ֝שׁ֗וֹן מְדַבֶּ֥רֶת גְּדֹלֽוֹת
- 5For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָֽמְר֨וּ לִלְשֹׁנֵ֣נוּ נַ֭גְבִּיר שְׂפָתֵ֣ינוּ אִתָּ֑נוּ מִ֖י אָד֣וֹן
- 6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.מִשֹּׁ֥ד עֲנִיִּים֮ מֵאַנְקַ֪ת אֶבְי֫וֹנִ֥ים עַתָּ֣ה אָ֭קוּם יֹאמַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה אָשִׁ֥ית בְּ֝יֵ֗שַׁע יָפִ֥יחַֽ
- 7Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.אִֽמֲר֣וֹת יְהוָה֮ אֲמָר֪וֹת טְהֹ֫ר֥וֹת כֶּ֣סֶף צָ֭רוּף בַּעֲלִ֣יל לָאָ֑רֶץ מְ֝זֻקָּ֗ק שִׁבְעָתָֽיִם
- 8The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.אַתָּֽה יְהוָ֥ה תִּשְׁמְרֵ֑ם תִּצְּרֶ֓נּוּ מִן הַדּ֖וֹר ז֣וּ לְעוֹלָֽם

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.
