  1. 1[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.לַ֝מְנַצֵּ֗חַ לְדָוִ֥ד מִזְמֽוֹר
  2. 2He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.קַוֺּ֣ה קִוִּ֣יתִי יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּ֥ט אֵ֝לַ֗י וַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע שַׁוְעָתִֽי
  3. 3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.וַיַּעֲלֵ֤נִי מִבּ֥וֹר שָׁאוֹן֮ מִטִּ֪יט הַיָּ֫וֵ֥ן וַיָּ֖קֶם עַל סֶ֥לַע רַגְלַ֗י כּוֹנֵ֥ן אֲשֻׁרָֽי
  4. 4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.וַיִּתֵּ֬ן בְּפִ֨י שִׁ֥יר חָדָשׁ֮ תְּהִלָּ֪ה לֵֽאלֹ֫הֵ֥ינוּ יִרְא֣וּ רַבִּ֣ים וְיִירָ֑אוּ וְ֝יִבְטְח֗וּ בַּיהוָֽה
  5. 5Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.אַ֥שְֽׁרֵי הַגֶּ֗בֶר אֲשֶׁר שָׂ֣ם יְ֭הֹוָה מִבְטַח֑וֹ וְֽלֹא פָנָ֥ה אֶל רְ֝הָבִ֗ים וְשָׂטֵ֥י כָזָֽב
  6. 6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.רַבּ֤וֹת עָשִׂ֨יתָ אַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהַי֮ נִֽפְלְאֹתֶ֥יךָ וּמַחְשְׁבֹתֶ֗יךָ אֵ֫לֵ֥ינוּ אֵ֤ין עֲרֹ֬ךְ אֵלֶ֗יךָ אַגִּ֥ידָה וַאֲדַבֵּ֑רָה עָ֝צְמ֗וּ מִסַּפֵּֽר
  7. 7Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,זֶ֤בַח וּמִנְחָ֨ה לֹֽא חָפַ֗צְתָּ אָ֭זְנַיִם כָּרִ֣יתָ עוֹלָ֥ה וַ֝חֲטָאָ֗ה לֹ֣א שָׁאָֽלְתָּ
  8. 8I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.אָ֣ז אָ֭מַרְתִּי הִנֵּה בָ֑אתִי בִּמְגִלַּת סֵ֝֗פֶר כָּת֥וּב עָלָֽי
  9. 9I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת רְצוֹנְךָ֣ אֱלֹהַ֣י חָפָ֑צְתִּי וְ֝ת֥וֹרָתְךָ֗ בְּת֣וֹךְ מֵעָֽי
  10. 10I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.בִּשַּׂ֤רְתִּי צֶ֨דֶק בְּקָ֘הָ֤ל רָ֗ב הִנֵּ֣ה שְׂ֭פָתַי לֹ֣א אֶכְלָ֑א יְ֝הוָ֗ה אַתָּ֥ה יָדָֽעְתָּ
  11. 11Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.צִדְקָתְךָ֬ לֹא כִסִּ֨יתִי בְּת֬וֹךְ לִבִּ֗י אֱמוּנָתְךָ֣ וּתְשׁוּעָתְךָ֣ אָמָ֑רְתִּי לֹא כִחַ֥דְתִּי חַסְדְּךָ֥ וַ֝אֲמִתְּךָ֗ לְקָהָ֥ל רָֽב
  12. 12For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.אַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה לֹא תִכְלָ֣א רַחֲמֶ֣יךָ מִמֶּ֑נִּי חַסְדְּךָ֥ וַ֝אֲמִתְּךָ֗ תָּמִ֥יד יִצְּרֽוּנִי
  13. 13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.כִּ֤י אָפְפ֥וּ עָלַ֨י רָע֡וֹת עַד אֵ֬ין מִסְפָּ֗ר הִשִּׂיג֣וּנִי עֲ֭וֺנֹתַי וְלֹא יָכֹ֣לְתִּי לִרְא֑וֹת עָצְמ֥וּ מִשַּֽׂעֲר֥וֹת רֹ֝אשִׁ֗י וְלִבִּ֥י עֲזָבָֽנִי
  14. 14Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.רְצֵ֣ה יְ֭הוָה לְהַצִּילֵ֑נִי יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חֽוּשָׁה
  15. 15Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.יֵ֘בֹ֤שׁוּ וְיַחְפְּר֨וּ יַחַד֮ מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י נַפְשִׁ֗י לִסְפּ֫וֹתָ֥הּ יִסֹּ֣גוּ אָ֭חוֹר וְיִכָּלְמ֑וּ חֲ֝פֵצֵ֗י רָעָתִֽי
  16. 16Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.יָ֭שֹׁמּוּ עַל עֵ֣קֶב בָּשְׁתָּ֑ם הָאֹמְרִ֥ים הֶ֘אָ֥ח הֶאָֽח
  17. 17But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.יָ֘שִׂ֤ישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְח֨וּ כָּֽל מְבַ֫קְשֶׁ֥יךָ יֹאמְר֣וּ תָ֭מִיד יִגְדַּ֣ל יְהוָ֑ה אֹֽ֝הֲבֵ֗י תְּשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ

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.
