- 1[A Song of degrees.] Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת אֵ֭לֶיךָ נָשָׂ֣אתִי אֶת עֵינַ֑י הַ֝יֹּשְׁבִ֗י בַּשָּׁמָֽיִם
- 2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.הִנֵּ֨ה כְעֵינֵ֪י עֲבָדִ֡ים אֶל יַ֤ד אֲֽדוֹנֵיהֶ֗ם כְּעֵינֵ֣י שִׁפְחָה֮ אֶל יַ֪ד גְּבִ֫רְתָּ֥הּ כֵּ֣ן עֵ֭ינֵינוּ אֶל יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ עַ֝֗ד שֶׁיְּחָנֵּֽנוּ
- 3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.חָנֵּ֣נוּ יְהוָ֣ה חָנֵּ֑נוּ כִּֽי רַ֝֗ב שָׂבַ֥עְנוּ בֽוּז
- 4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.רַבַּת֮ שָֽׂבְעָה נַ֫פְשֵׁ֥נוּ הַלַּ֥עַג הַשַּׁאֲנַנִּ֑ים הַ֝בּ֗וּז לִגְאֵ֥יוֹנִֽים

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.
