- 1[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד
- 2Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.יְהוָ֣ה חָ֭סִיתִי אַל אֵב֣וֹשָׁה לְעוֹלָ֑ם בְּצִדְקָתְךָ֥ פַלְּטֵֽנִי
- 3For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.הַטֵּ֤ה אֵלַ֨י אָזְנְךָ֮ מְהֵרָ֪ה הַצִּ֫ילֵ֥נִי הֱיֵ֤ה לְֽצוּר מָ֭עוֹז לְבֵ֥ית מְצוּד֗וֹת לְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי
- 4Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.כִּֽי סַלְעִ֣י וּמְצוּדָתִ֣י אָ֑תָּה וּלְמַ֥עַן שִׁ֝מְךָ֗ תַּֽנְחֵ֥נִי וּֽתְנַהֲלֵֽנִי
- 5Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.תּוֹצִיאֵ֗נִי מֵרֶ֣שֶׁת ז֭וּ טָ֣מְנוּ כִּֽי אַ֝תָּה מָֽעוּזִּֽי
- 6I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.בְּיָדְךָ֮ אַפְקִ֪יד ר֫וּחִ֥י פָּדִ֖יתָה אוֹתִ֥י יְהוָ֗ה אֵ֣ל אֱמֶֽת
- 7I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;שָׂנֵ֗אתִי הַשֹּׁמְרִ֥ים הַבְלֵי שָׁ֑וְא וַ֝אֲנִ֗י אֶל יְהוָ֥ה בָּטָֽחְתִּי
- 8And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.אָגִ֥ילָה וְאֶשְׂמְחָ֗ה בְּחַ֫סְדֶּ֥ךָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר רָ֭אִיתָ אֶת עָנְיִ֑י יָ֝דַ֗עְתָּ בְּצָר֥וֹת נַפְשִֽׁי
- 9Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.וְלֹ֣א הִ֭סְגַּרְתַּנִי בְּיַד אוֹיֵ֑ב הֶֽעֱמַ֖דְתָּ בַמֶּרְחָ֣ב רַגְלָֽי
- 10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.חָנֵּ֥נִי יְהוָה֮ כִּ֤י צַ֫ר עָשְׁשָׁ֖ה בְכַ֥עַס עֵינִ֗י נַפְשִׁ֥י וּבִטְנִֽי
- 11I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.כִּ֤י כָל֪וּ בְיָג֡וֹן חַיַּי֮ וּשְׁנוֹתַ֪י בַּאֲנָ֫חָ֥ה כָּשַׁ֣ל בַּעֲוֺנִ֣י כֹחִ֑י וַעֲצָמַ֥י עָשֵֽׁשׁוּ
- 12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.מִכָּל צֹרְרַ֨י הָיִ֪יתִי חֶרְפָּ֡ה וְלִשֲׁכֵנַ֨י מְאֹד֮ וּפַ֪חַד לִֽמְיֻדָּ֫עָ֥י רֹאַ֥י בַּח֑וּץ נָדְד֥וּ מִמֶּֽנִּי
- 13For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.נִ֭שְׁכַּחְתִּי כְּמֵ֣ת מִלֵּ֑ב הָ֝יִ֗יתִי כִּכְלִ֥י אֹבֵֽד
- 14But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.כִּ֤י שָׁמַ֨עְתִּי דִּבַּ֥ת רַבִּים֮ מָג֪וֹר מִסָּ֫בִ֥יב בְּהִוָּסְדָ֣ם יַ֣חַד עָלַ֑י לָקַ֖חַת נַפְשִׁ֣י זָמָֽמוּ
- 15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.וַאֲנִ֤י עָלֶ֣יךָ בָטַ֣חְתִּי יְהוָ֑ה אָ֝מַ֗רְתִּי אֱלֹהַ֥י אָֽתָּה
- 16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.בְּיָדְךָ֥ עִתֹּתָ֑י הַצִּ֘ילֵ֤נִי מִיַּד א֝וֹיְבַ֗י וּמֵרֹדְפָֽי
- 17Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.הָאִ֣ירָה פָ֭נֶיךָ עַל עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ ה֖וֹשִׁיעֵ֣נִי בְחַסְדֶּֽךָ
- 18Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל אֵ֭בוֹשָׁה כִּ֣י קְרָאתִ֑יךָ יֵבֹ֥שׁוּ רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יִדְּמ֥וּ לִשְׁאֽוֹל
- 19Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!תֵּ֥אָלַ֗מְנָה שִׂפְתֵ֫י שָׁ֥קֶר הַדֹּבְר֖וֹת עַל צַדִּ֥יק עָתָ֗ק בְּגַאֲוָ֥ה וָבֽוּז
- 20Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.מָ֤ה רַֽב טוּבְךָ֮ אֲשֶׁר צָפַ֪נְתָּ לִּֽירֵ֫אֶ֥יךָ פָּ֭עַלְתָּ לַחֹסִ֣ים נֶ֝֗גֶד בְּנֵ֣י אָדָם
- 21Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.תַּסְתִּירֵ֤ם בְּסֵ֥תֶר פָּנֶיךָ֮ מֵֽרֻכְסֵ֫י אִ֥ישׁ תִּצְפְּנֵ֥ם בְּסֻכָּ֗ה מֵרִ֥יב לְשֹׁנֽוֹת
- 22For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.בָּר֥וּךְ יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֥י הִפְלִ֘יא חַסְדּ֥וֹ בְּעִ֣יר מָצֽוֹר
- 23O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.וַאֲנִ֤י אָ֘מַ֤רְתִּי בְחָפְזִ֗י נִגְרַזְתִּי֮ מִנֶּ֪גֶד עֵ֫ינֶ֥יךָ אָכֵ֗ן שָׁ֭מַעְתָּ ק֥וֹל תַּחֲנוּנַ֗י בְּשַׁוְּעִ֥י אֵלֶֽיךָ
- 24Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.אֶֽהֱב֥וּ אֶת יְהוָ֗ה כָּֽל חֲסִ֫ידָ֥יו אֱ֭מוּנִים נֹצֵ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה וּמְשַׁלֵּ֥ם עַל יֶ֝֗תֶר עֹשֵׂ֥ה גַאֲוָֽה

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.
