- 1[A Psalm of David.] The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?לְדָוִ֨ד יְהוָ֤ה אוֹרִ֣י וְ֭יִשְׁעִי מִמִּ֣י אִירָ֑א יְהוָ֥ה מָֽעוֹז חַ֝יַּ֗י מִמִּ֥י אֶפְחָֽד
- 2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.בִּקְרֹ֤ב עָלַ֨י מְרֵעִים֮ לֶאֱכֹ֪ל אֶת בְּשָׂ֫רִ֥י צָרַ֣י וְאֹיְבַ֣י הֵ֖מָּה כָשְׁל֣וּ וְנָפָֽלוּ
- 3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.אִם תַּחֲנֶ֬ה עָלַ֨י מַחֲנֶה֮ לֹֽא יִירָ֪א לִ֫בִּ֥י אִם תָּק֣וּם עָ֭לַי מִלְחָמָ֑ה בְּ֝זֹ֗את אֲנִ֣י בוֹטֵֽחַ
- 4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.אַחַ֤ת שָׁאַ֣לְתִּי מֵֽאֵת יְהוָה֮ אוֹתָ֪הּ אֲבַ֫קֵּ֥שׁ שִׁבְתִּ֣י בְּבֵית יְ֭הוָה כָּל יְמֵ֣י חַיַּ֑י לַחֲז֥וֹת בְּנֹֽעַם יְ֝הוָ֗ה וּלְבַקֵּ֥ר בְּהֵיכָלֽוֹ
- 5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.כִּ֤י יִצְפְּנֵ֨נִי בְּסֻכֹּה֮ בְּי֪וֹם רָ֫עָ֥ה יַ֭סְתִּרֵנִי בְּסֵ֣תֶר אָהֳל֑וֹ בְּ֝צ֗וּר יְרוֹמְמֵֽנִי
- 6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.וְעַתָּ֨ה יָר֪וּם רֹאשִׁ֡י עַ֤ל אֹֽיְבַ֬י סְֽבִיבוֹתַ֗י וְאֶזְבְּחָ֣ה בְ֭אָהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵ֣י תְרוּעָ֑ה אָשִׁ֥ירָה וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה לַיהוָֽה
- 7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.שְׁמַע יְהוָ֖ה קוֹלִ֥י אֶקְרָ֗א וְחָנֵּ֥נִי וַעֲנֵֽנִי
- 8When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.אָמַ֣ר לִ֭בִּי בַּקְּשׁ֣וּ פָנָ֑י אֶת פָּנֶ֖יךָ יְהוָ֣ה אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ
- 9Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.אַל תַּסְתֵּ֬ר פָּנֶ֨יךָ מִמֶּנִּי֮ אַֽל תַּט בְּאַ֗ף עַ֫בְדֶּ֥ךָ עֶזְרָתִ֥י הָיִ֑יתָ אַֽל תִּטְּשֵׁ֥נִי וְאַל תַּֽ֝עַזְבֵ֗נִי אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽי
- 10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.כִּי אָבִ֣י וְאִמִּ֣י עֲזָב֑וּנִי וַֽיהוָ֣ה יַֽאַסְפֵֽנִי
- 11Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.ה֤וֹרֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֗ה דַּ֫רְכֶּ֥ךָ וּ֭נְחֵנִי בְּאֹ֣רַח מִישׁ֑וֹר לְ֝מַ֗עַן שׁוֹרְרָֽי
- 12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.אַֽל תִּ֭תְּנֵנִי בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ צָרָ֑י כִּ֥י קָֽמוּ עֵֽדֵי שֶׁ֝֗קֶר וִיפֵ֥חַ חָמָֽס
- 13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.לׅׄוּלֵׅׄ֗אׅׄ הֶ֭אֱמַנְתִּי לִרְא֥וֹת בְּֽטוּב יְהוָ֗ה בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּֽים
- 14Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.קַוֵּ֗ה אֶל יְה֫וָ֥ה חֲ֭זַק וְיַאֲמֵ֣ץ לִבֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝קַוֵּ֗ה אֶל יְהוָֽה

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.
