- 1[A Psalm of David.] Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.לְדָוִ֡ד אֵ֘לֶ֤יךָ יְהוָ֨ה אֶקְרָ֗א צוּרִי֮ אַֽל תֶּחֱרַ֪שׁ מִ֫מֶּ֥נִּי פֶּן תֶּֽחֱשֶׁ֥ה מִמֶּ֑נִּי וְ֝נִמְשַׁ֗לְתִּי עִם י֥וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר
- 2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.שְׁמַ֤ע ק֣וֹל תַּ֭חֲנוּנַי בְּשַׁוְּעִ֣י אֵלֶ֑יךָ בְּנָשְׂאִ֥י יָ֝דַ֗י אֶל דְּבִ֥יר קָדְשֶֽׁךָ
- 3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.אַל תִּמְשְׁכֵ֣נִי עִם רְשָׁעִים֮ וְעִם פֹּ֪עֲלֵ֫י אָ֥וֶן דֹּבְרֵ֣י שָׁ֭לוֹם עִם רֵֽעֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝רָעָ֗ה בִּלְבָבָֽם
- 4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.תֶּן כְּפָעֳלָם֮ וּכְרֹ֪עַ מַֽעַלְלֵ֫יהֶ֥ם כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יְ֭דֵיהֶם תֵּ֣ן הָשֵׁ֖ב גְּמוּלָ֣ם
- 5Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.כִּ֤י לֹ֤א יָבִ֡ינוּ אֶל פְּעֻלֹּ֣ת יְ֭הוָה וְאֶל מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָדָ֑יו יֶ֝הֶרְסֵ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִבְנֵֽם
- 6Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.בָּר֥וּךְ יְהוָ֑ה כִּי שָׁ֝מַע ק֣וֹל תַּחֲנוּנָֽי
- 7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.יְהוָ֤ה עֻזִּ֥י וּמָגִנִּי֮ בָטַ֥ח לִבִּ֗י וְֽנֶ֫עֱזָ֥רְתִּי וַיַּעֲלֹ֥ז לִבִּ֑י וּֽמִשִּׁירִ֥י אֲהוֹדֶֽנּוּ
- 8The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.יְהוָ֥ה עֹֽז וּמָ֘ע֤וֹז יְשׁוּע֖וֹת מְשִׁיח֣וֹ הֽוּא
- 9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.הוֹשִׁ֤יעָה אֶת עַמֶּ֗ךָ וּבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת נַחֲלָתֶ֑ךָ וּֽרְעֵ֥ם וְ֝נַשְּׂאֵ֗ם עַד הָעוֹלָֽם

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.
