- 1[A Psalm of David.] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִ֑ד יְהוָ֥ה רֹ֝עִ֗י לֹ֣א אֶחְסָֽר
- 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.בִּנְא֣וֹת דֶּ֭שֶׁא יַרְבִּיצֵ֑נִי עַל מֵ֖י מְנֻח֣וֹת יְנַהֲלֵֽנִי
- 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.נַפְשִׁ֥י יְשׁוֹבֵ֑ב יַֽנְחֵ֥נִי בְמַעְגְּלֵי צֶ֝֗דֶק לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֽוֹ
- 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.גַּ֤ם כִּֽי אֵלֵ֨ךְ בְּגֵ֪יא צַלְמָ֡וֶת לֹא אִ֘ירָ֤א רָ֗ע כִּי אַתָּ֥ה עִמָּדִ֑י שִׁבְטְךָ֥ וּ֝מִשְׁעַנְתֶּ֗ךָ הֵ֣מָּה יְנַֽחֲמֻֽנִי
- 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.תַּעֲרֹ֬ךְ לְפָנַ֨י שֻׁלְחָ֗ן נֶ֥גֶד צֹרְרָ֑י דִּשַּׁ֖נְתָּ בַשֶּׁ֥מֶן רֹ֝אשִׁ֗י כּוֹסִ֥י רְוָיָֽה
- 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.אַ֤ךְ ט֤וֹב וָחֶ֣סֶד יִ֭רְדְּפוּנִי כָּל יְמֵ֣י חַיָּ֑י וְשַׁבְתִּ֥י בְּבֵית יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְאֹ֣רֶךְ יָמִֽים

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.
