- 1[To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.] Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ בִּנְגִינ֗וֹת מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד
- 2O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.בְּקָרְאִ֡י עֲנֵ֤נִי אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗י בַּ֭צָּר הִרְחַ֣בְתָּ חָ֝נֵּ֗נִי וּשְׁמַ֥ע תְּפִלָּתִֽי
- 3But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.בְּנֵ֥י אִ֡ישׁ עַד מֶ֬ה כְבוֹדִ֣י לִ֭כְלִמָּה תֶּאֱהָב֣וּן רִ֑יק תְּבַקְשׁ֖וּ כָזָ֣ב סֶֽלָה
- 4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.וּדְע֗וּ כִּֽי הִפְלָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה חָסִ֣יד יְהוָ֥ה יִ֝שְׁמַ֗ע בְּקָרְאִ֥י אֵלָֽיו
- 5Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.רִגְז֗וּ וְֽאַל תֶּ֫חֱטָ֥אוּ אִמְר֣וּ בִ֭לְבַבְכֶם עַֽל מִשְׁכַּבְכֶ֗ם וְדֹ֣מּוּ סֶֽלָה
- 6There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.זִבְח֥וּ זִבְחֵי צֶ֑דֶק וּ֝בִטְח֗וּ אֶל יְהוָֽה
- 7Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.רַבִּ֥ים אֹמְרִים֮ מִֽי יַרְאֵ֪נ֫וּ ט֥וֹב נְֽסָה עָ֭לֵינוּ א֨וֹר פָּנֶ֬יךָ יְהוָֽה
- 8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.נָתַ֣תָּה שִׂמְחָ֣ה בְלִבִּ֑י מֵעֵ֬ת דְּגָנָ֖ם וְתִֽירוֹשָׁ֣ם רָֽבּוּ

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.
