- 1[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.לַ֭מְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִ֣ד מִזְמ֑וֹר יְהוָ֥ה חֲ֝קַרְתַּ֗נִי וַתֵּדָֽע
- 2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.אַתָּ֣ה יָ֭דַעְתָּ שִׁבְתִּ֣י וְקוּמִ֑י בַּ֥נְתָּה לְ֝רֵעִ֗י מֵרָחֽוֹק
- 3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.אָרְחִ֣י וְרִבְעִ֣י זֵרִ֑יתָ וְֽכָל דְּרָכַ֥י הִסְכַּֽנְתָּה
- 4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.כִּ֤י אֵ֣ין מִ֭לָּה בִּלְשׁוֹנִ֑י הֵ֥ן יְ֝הוָ֗ה יָדַ֥עְתָּ כֻלָּֽהּ
- 5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.אָח֣וֹר וָקֶ֣דֶם צַרְתָּ֑נִי וַתָּ֖שֶׁת עָלַ֣י כַּפֶּֽכָה
- 6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.פלאיה פְּלִ֣יאָֽה דַ֣עַת מִמֶּ֑נִּי נִ֝שְׂגְּבָ֗ה לֹא א֥וּכַֽל
- 7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?אָ֭נָ֥ה אֵלֵ֣ךְ מֵרוּחֶ֑ךָ וְ֝אָ֗נָה מִפָּנֶ֥יךָ אֶבְרָֽח
- 8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.אִם אֶסַּ֣ק שָׁ֭מַיִם שָׁ֣ם אָ֑תָּה וְאַצִּ֖יעָה שְּׁא֣וֹל הִנֶּֽךָּ
- 9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;אֶשָּׂ֥א כַנְפֵי שָׁ֑חַר אֶ֝שְׁכְּנָ֗ה בְּאַחֲרִ֥ית יָֽם
- 10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.גַּם שָׁ֭ם יָדְךָ֣ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְֽתֹאחֲזֵ֥נִי יְמִינֶֽךָ
- 11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.וָ֭אֹמַר אַךְ חֹ֣שֶׁךְ יְשׁוּפֵ֑נִי וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה א֣וֹר בַּעֲדֵֽנִי
- 12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.גַּם חֹשֶׁךְ֮ לֹֽא יַחְשִׁ֪יךְ מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָ וְ֭לַיְלָה כַּיּ֣וֹם יָאִ֑יר כַּ֝חֲשֵׁיכָ֗ה כָּאוֹרָֽה
- 13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.כִּֽי אַ֭תָּה קָנִ֣יתָ כִלְיֹתָ֑י תְּ֝סֻכֵּ֗נִי בְּבֶ֣טֶן אִמִּֽי
- 14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.אֽוֹדְךָ֗ עַ֤ל כִּ֥י נוֹרָא֗וֹת נִ֫פְלֵ֥יתִי נִפְלָאִ֥ים מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ וְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י יֹדַ֥עַת מְאֹֽד
- 15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.לֹא נִכְחַ֥ד עָצְמִ֗י מִ֫מֶּ֥ךָּ אֲשֶׁר עֻשֵּׂ֥יתִי בַסֵּ֑תֶר רֻ֝קַּ֗מְתִּי בְּֽתַחְתִּיּ֥וֹת אָֽרֶץ
- 16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.גָּלְמִ֤י רָ֘א֤וּ עֵינֶ֗יךָ וְעַֽל סִפְרְךָ֮ כֻּלָּ֪ם יִכָּ֫תֵ֥בוּ יָמִ֥ים יֻצָּ֑רוּ ולא אֶחָ֣ד
- 17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!מַה יָּקְר֣וּ רֵעֶ֣יךָ אֵ֑ל מֶ֥ה עָ֝צְמוּ רָאשֵׁיהֶֽם
- 18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.אֶ֭סְפְּרֵם מֵח֣וֹל יִרְבּ֑וּן הֱ֝קִיצֹ֗תִי וְעוֹדִ֥י עִמָּֽךְ
- 19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.אִם תִּקְטֹ֖ל אֱל֥וֹהַּ רָשָׁ֑ע וְאַנְשֵׁ֥י דָ֝מִ֗ים ס֣וּרוּ מֶֽנִּי
- 20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֹ֭אמְרֻךָ לִמְזִמָּ֑ה נָשֻׂ֖א לַשָּׁ֣וְא עָרֶֽיךָ
- 21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?הֲלֽוֹא מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ יְהוָ֥ה אֶשְׂנָ֑א וּ֝בִתְקוֹמְמֶ֗יךָ אֶתְקוֹטָֽט
- 22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.תַּכְלִ֣ית שִׂנְאָ֣ה שְׂנֵאתִ֑ים לְ֝אוֹיְבִ֗ים הָ֣יוּ
- 23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:חָקְרֵ֣נִי אֵ֭ל וְדַ֣ע לְבָבִ֑י בְּ֝חָנֵ֗נִי וְדַ֣ע שַׂרְעַפָּֽי
- 24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.וּרְאֵ֗ה אִם דֶּֽרֶךְ עֹ֥צֶב וּ֝נְחֵ֗נִי בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ עוֹלָֽם

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.
