- 1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?לָ֭מָּה רָגְשׁ֣וּ גוֹיִ֑ם וּ֝לְאֻמִּ֗ים יֶהְגּוּ רִֽיק
- 2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,יִ֥תְיַצְּב֨וּ מַלְכֵי אֶ֗רֶץ וְרוֹזְנִ֥ים נֽוֹסְדוּ יָ֑חַד עַל יְ֝הוָה וְעַל מְשִׁיחֽוֹ
- 3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.נְֽ֭נַתְּקָה אֶת מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵ֑ימוֹ וְנַשְׁלִ֖יכָה מִמֶּ֣נּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ
- 4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.יוֹשֵׁ֣ב בַּשָּׁמַ֣יִם יִשְׂחָ֑ק אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י יִלְעַג
- 5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.אָ֤ז יְדַבֵּ֣ר אֵלֵ֣ימוֹ בְאַפּ֑וֹ וּֽבַחֲרוֹנ֥וֹ יְבַהֲלֵֽמוֹ
- 6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.וַ֭אֲנִי נָסַ֣כְתִּי מַלְכִּ֑י עַל צִ֝יּ֗וֹן הַר קָדְשִֽׁי
- 7I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה אֶֽ֫ל חֹ֥ק יְֽהוָ֗ה אָמַ֘ר אֵלַ֥י בְּנִ֥י אַ֑תָּה אֲ֝נִ֗י הַיּ֥וֹם יְלִדְתִּֽיךָ
- 8Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.שְׁאַ֤ל מִמֶּ֗נִּי וְאֶתְּנָ֣ה ג֭וֹיִם נַחֲלָתֶ֑ךָ וַ֝אֲחֻזָּתְךָ֗ אַפְסֵי אָֽרֶץ
- 9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.תְּ֭רֹעֵם בְּשֵׁ֣בֶט בַּרְזֶ֑ל כִּכְלִ֖י יוֹצֵ֣ר תְּנַפְּצֵֽם
- 10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.וְ֭עַתָּה מְלָכִ֣ים הַשְׂכִּ֑ילוּ הִ֝וָּסְר֗וּ שֹׁ֣פְטֵי אָֽרֶץ
- 11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.עִבְד֣וּ אֶת יְהוָ֣ה בְּיִרְאָ֑ה וְ֝גִ֗ילוּ בִּרְעָדָֽה
- 12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.נַשְּׁקוּ בַ֡ר פֶּן יֶאֱנַ֤ף וְתֹ֬אבְדוּ דֶ֗רֶךְ כִּֽי יִבְעַ֣ר כִּמְעַ֣ט אַפּ֑וֹ אַ֝שְׁרֵ֗י כָּל ח֥וֹסֵי

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.
