- 1[Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.] I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִ֑ד בִּהְיוֹת֖וֹ בַמְּעָרָ֣ה תְפִלָּֽה
- 2I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.ק֭וֹלִי אֶל יְהוָ֣ה אֶזְעָ֑ק ק֝וֹלִ֗י אֶל יְהוָ֥ה אֶתְחַנָּֽן
- 3When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.אֶשְׁפֹּ֣ךְ לְפָנָ֣יו שִׂיחִ֑י צָ֝רָתִ֗י לְפָנָ֥יו אַגִּֽיד
- 4I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.בְּהִתְעַטֵּ֬ף עָלַ֨י רוּחִ֗י וְאַתָּה֮ יָדַ֪עְתָּ נְֽתִיבָ֫תִ֥י בְּאֹֽרַח ז֥וּ אֲהַלֵּ֑ךְ טָמְנ֖וּ פַ֣ח
- 5I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.הַבֵּ֤יט יָמִ֨ין וּרְאֵה֮ וְאֵֽין מַ֫כִּ֥יר אָבַ֣ד מָנ֣וֹס מִמֶּ֑נִּי אֵ֖ין דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ לְנַפְשִֽׁי
- 6Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.זָעַ֥קְתִּי אֵלֶ֗יךָ יְה֫וָ֥ה אָ֭מַרְתִּי אַתָּ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י חֶ֝לְקִ֗י בְּאֶ֣רֶץ הַֽחַיִּים
- 7Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.הַקְשִׁ֤יבָה אֶֽל רִנָּתִי֮ כִּֽי דַלּ֪וֹתִ֫י מְאֹ֥ד הַצִּילֵ֥נִי מֵרֹדְפַ֑י כִּ֖י אָמְצ֣וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי

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.
