- 1[Michtam of David.] Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.מִכְתָּ֥ם לְדָוִ֑ד שָֽׁמְרֵ֥נִי אֵ֝֗ל כִּֽי חָסִ֥יתִי
- 2O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;אָמַ֣רְתְּ לַֽ֭יהוָה אֲדֹנָ֣י אָ֑תָּה ט֝וֹבָתִ֗י בַּל עָלֶֽיךָ
- 3But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.לִ֭קְדוֹשִׁים אֲשֶׁר בָּאָ֣רֶץ הֵ֑מָּה וְ֝אַדִּירֵ֗י כָּל חֶפְצִי
- 4Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.יִרְבּ֥וּ עַצְּבוֹתָם֮ אַחֵ֪ר מָ֫הָ֥רוּ בַּל אַסִּ֣יךְ נִסְכֵּיהֶ֣ם מִדָּ֑ם וּֽבַל אֶשָּׂ֥א אֶת שְׁ֝מוֹתָ֗ם עַל שְׂפָתָֽי
- 5The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.יְֽהוָ֗ה מְנָת חֶלְקִ֥י וְכוֹסִ֑י אַ֝תָּ֗ה תּוֹמִ֥יךְ גּוֹרָלִֽי
- 6The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.חֲבָלִ֣ים נָֽפְלוּ בַּנְּעִמִ֑ים אַף נַ֝חֲלָ֗ת שָֽׁפְרָ֥ה עָלָֽי
- 7I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.אֲבָרֵ֗ךְ אֶת יְ֭הוָה אֲשֶׁ֣ר יְעָצָ֑נִי אַף לֵ֝יל֗וֹת יִסְּר֥וּנִי כִלְיוֹתָֽי
- 8I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.שִׁוִּ֬יתִי יְהוָ֣ה לְנֶגְדִּ֣י תָמִ֑יד כִּ֥י מִֽ֝ימִינִ֗י בַּל אֶמּֽוֹט
- 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.לָכֵ֤ן שָׂמַ֣ח לִ֭בִּי וַיָּ֣גֶל כְּבוֹדִ֑י אַף בְּ֝שָׂרִ֗י יִשְׁכֹּ֥ן לָבֶֽטַח
- 10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.כִּ֤י לֹא תַעֲזֹ֣ב נַפְשִׁ֣י לִשְׁא֑וֹל לֹֽא תִתֵּ֥ן חֲ֝סִידְךָ֗ לִרְא֥וֹת שָֽׁחַת
- 11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.תּֽוֹדִיעֵנִי֮ אֹ֤רַח חַ֫יִּ֥ים שֹׂ֣בַע שְׂ֭מָחוֹת אֶת פָּנֶ֑יךָ נְעִמ֖וֹת בִּימִינְךָ֣ נֶֽצַח

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.
