- 1[A Psalm of David.] Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.לְדָוִ֨ד רִיבָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה אֶת יְרִיבַ֑י לְ֝חַ֗ם אֶת לֹֽחֲמָֽי
- 2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.הַחֲזֵ֣ק מָגֵ֣ן וְצִנָּ֑ה וְ֝ק֗וּמָה בְּעֶזְרָתִֽי
- 3Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.וְהָ֘רֵ֤ק חֲנִ֣ית וּ֭סְגֹר לִקְרַ֣את רֹדְפָ֑י אֱמֹ֥ר לְ֝נַפְשִׁ֗י יְֽשֻׁעָתֵ֥ךְ אָֽנִי
- 4Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.יֵבֹ֣שׁוּ וְיִכָּלְמוּ֮ מְבַקְשֵׁ֪י נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י יִסֹּ֣גוּ אָח֣וֹר וְיַחְפְּר֑וּ חֹ֝שְׁבֵ֗י רָעָתִֽי
- 5Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.יִֽהְי֗וּ כְּמֹ֥ץ לִפְנֵי ר֑וּחַ וּמַלְאַ֖ךְ יְהוָ֣ה דּוֹחֶֽה
- 6Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.יְֽהִי דַרְכָּ֗ם חֹ֥שֶׁךְ וַחֲלַקְלַקּ֑וֹת וּמַלְאַ֥ךְ יְ֝הוָ֗ה רֹדְפָֽם
- 7For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.כִּֽי חִנָּ֣ם טָֽמְנוּ שַׁ֣חַת רִשְׁתָּ֑ם חִ֝נָּ֗ם חָפְר֥וּ לְנַפְשִֽׁי
- 8Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.תְּבוֹאֵ֣הוּ שׁוֹאָה֮ לֹֽא יֵ֫דָ֥ע וְרִשְׁתּ֣וֹ אֲשֶׁר טָמַ֣ן תִּלְכְּד֑וֹ בְּ֝שׁוֹאָ֗ה יִפָּל
- 9And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.וְ֭נַפְשִׁי תָּגִ֣יל בַּיהוָ֑ה תָּ֝שִׂישׂ בִּישׁוּעָתֽוֹ
- 10All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?כָּ֥ל עַצְמוֹתַ֨י תֹּאמַרְנָה֮ יְהוָ֗ה מִ֥י כָ֫מ֥וֹךָ מַצִּ֣יל עָ֭נִי מֵחָזָ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וְעָנִ֥י וְ֝אֶבְי֗וֹן מִגֹּזְלֽוֹ
- 11False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.יְ֭קוּמוּן עֵדֵ֣י חָמָ֑ס אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא יָ֝דַ֗עְתִּי יִשְׁאָלֽוּנִי
- 12They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.יְשַׁלְּמ֣וּנִי רָ֭עָה תַּ֥חַת טוֹבָ֗ה שְׁכ֣וֹל לְנַפְשִֽׁי
- 13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.וַאֲנִ֤י בַּחֲלוֹתָ֡ם לְב֬וּשִׁי שָׂ֗ק עִנֵּ֣יתִי בַצּ֣וֹם נַפְשִׁ֑י וּ֝תְפִלָּתִ֗י עַל חֵיקִ֥י תָשֽׁוּב
- 14I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.כְּרֵֽעַ כְּאָ֣ח הִתְהַלָּ֑כְתִּי כַּאֲבֶל אֵ֝֗ם קֹדֵ֥ר שַׁחֽוֹתִי
- 15But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:וּבְצַלְעִי֮ שָׂמְח֪וּ וְֽנֶאֱ֫סָ֥פוּ נֶאֶסְפ֬וּ עָלַ֣י נֵ֭כִים וְלֹ֣א יָדַ֑עְתִּי קָֽרְע֥וּ וְלֹא דָֽמּוּ
- 16With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.בְּ֭חַנְפֵי לַעֲגֵ֣י מָע֑וֹג חָרֹ֖ק עָלַ֣י שִׁנֵּֽימוֹ
- 17Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.אֲדֹנָי֮ כַּמָּ֪ה תִּ֫רְאֶ֥ה הָשִׁ֣יבָה נַ֭פְשִׁי מִשֹּׁאֵיהֶ֑ם מִ֝כְּפִירִ֗ים יְחִידָתִֽי
- 18I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.א֭וֹדְךָ בְּקָהָ֣ל רָ֑ב בְּעַ֖ם עָצ֣וּם אֲהַֽלְלֶֽךָּ
- 19Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.אַֽל יִשְׂמְחוּ אֹיְבַ֣י שֶׁ֑קֶר שֹׂנְאַ֥י חִ֝נָּ֗ם יִקְרְצוּ עָֽיִן
- 20For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.כִּ֤י לֹ֥א שָׁל֗וֹם יְדַ֫בֵּ֥רוּ וְעַ֥ל רִגְעֵי אֶ֑רֶץ דִּבְרֵ֥י מִ֝רְמוֹת יַחֲשֹׁבֽוּן
- 21Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.וַיַּרְחִ֥יבוּ עָלַ֗י פִּ֫יהֶ֥ם אָ֭מְרוּ הֶאָ֣ח הֶאָ֑ח רָאֲתָ֥ה עֵינֵֽינוּ
- 22This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.רָאִ֣יתָה יְ֭הוָה אַֽל תֶּחֱרַ֑שׁ אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י אֲל תִּרְחַ֥ק מִמֶּֽנִּי
- 23Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.הָעִ֣ירָה וְ֭הָקִיצָה לְמִשְׁפָּטִ֑י אֱלֹהַ֖י וַֽאדֹנָ֣י לְרִיבִֽי
- 24Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.שָׁפְטֵ֣נִי כְ֭צִדְקְךָ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָ֗י וְאַל יִשְׂמְחוּ
- 25Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.אַל יֹאמְר֣וּ בְ֭לִבָּם הֶאָ֣ח נַפְשֵׁ֑נוּ אַל יֹ֝אמְר֗וּ בִּֽלַּעֲנֽוּהוּ
- 26Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.יֵ֘בֹ֤שׁוּ וְיַחְפְּר֨וּ יַחְדָּו֮ שְׂמֵחֵ֪י רָעָ֫תִ֥י יִֽלְבְּשׁוּ בֹ֥שֶׁת וּכְלִמָּ֑ה הַֽמַּגְדִּילִ֥ים עָלָֽי
- 27Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.יָרֹ֣נּוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ֮ חֲפֵצֵ֪י צִ֫דְקִ֥י וְיֹאמְר֣וּ תָ֭מִיד יִגְדַּ֣ל יְהוָ֑ה הֶ֝חָפֵ֗ץ שְׁל֣וֹם עַבְדּֽוֹ
- 28And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.וּ֭לְשׁוֹנִי תֶּהְגֶּ֣ה צִדְקֶ֑ךָ כָּל הַ֝יּוֹם תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ

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.
