- 1[A Song of degrees of David.] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲל֗וֹת לְדָ֫וִ֥ד לוּלֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה שֶׁהָ֣יָה יֹֽאמַר נָ֝א יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
- 2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:לוּלֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה שֶׁהָ֣יָה בְּק֖וּם עָלֵ֣ינוּ אָדָֽם
- 3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:אֲ֭זַי חַיִּ֣ים בְּלָע֑וּנוּ בַּחֲר֖וֹת אַפָּ֣ם
- 4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:אֲ֭זַי הַמַּ֣יִם שְׁטָפ֑וּנוּ נַ֗֜חְלָה עָבַ֥ר עַל נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ
- 5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.אֲ֭זַי עָבַ֣ר עַל נַפְשֵׁ֑נוּ הַ֝מַּ֗יִם הַזֵּֽידוֹנִֽים
- 6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.בָּר֥וּךְ יְהוָ֑ה שֶׁלֹּ֥א נְתָנָ֥נוּ טֶ֝֗רֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶֽם
- 7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.נַפְשֵׁ֗נוּ כְּצִפּ֥וֹר נִמְלְטָה֮ מִפַּ֪ח י֫וֹקְשִׁ֥ים הַפַּ֥ח נִשְׁבָּ֗ר וַאֲנַ֥חְנוּ נִמְלָֽטְנוּ
- 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.עֶ֭זְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה עֹ֝שֵׂ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם וָאָֽרֶץ

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.
