- 1[To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.] As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לִבְנֵי קֹֽרַח
- 2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?כְּאַיָּ֗ל תַּעֲרֹ֥ג עַל אֲפִֽיקֵי מָ֑יִם כֵּ֤ן נַפְשִׁ֨י תַעֲרֹ֖ג אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֱלֹהִֽים
- 3My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?צָמְאָ֬ה נַפְשִׁ֨י לֵאלֹהִים֮ לְאֵ֪ל חָ֥י מָתַ֥י אָב֑וֹא וְ֝אֵרָאֶ֗ה פְּנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִֽים
- 4When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.הָֽיְתָה דִמְעָתִ֣י לֶ֭חֶם יוֹמָ֣ם וָלָ֑יְלָה בֶּאֱמֹ֥ר אֵלַ֥י כָּל הַ֝יּ֗וֹם אַיֵּ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ
- 5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.אֵ֤לֶּה אֶזְכְּרָ֨ה וְאֶשְׁפְּכָ֬ה עָלַ֨י נַפְשִׁ֗י כִּ֤י אֶֽעֱבֹ֨ר בַּסָּךְ֮ אֶדַּדֵּ֗ם עַד בֵּ֥ית אֱלֹ֫הִ֥ים בְּקוֹל רִנָּ֥ה וְתוֹדָ֗ה הָמ֥וֹן חוֹגֵֽג
- 6O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.מַה תִּשְׁתּ֬וֹחֲחִ֨י נַפְשִׁי֮ וַתֶּהֱמִ֪י עָ֫לָ֥י הוֹחִ֣ילִי לֵֽ֭אלֹהִים כִּי ע֥וֹד אוֹדֶ֗נּוּ יְשׁוּע֥וֹת פָּנָֽיו
- 7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.אֱֽלֹהַ֗י עָלַי֮ נַפְשִׁ֪י תִשְׁתּ֫וֹחָ֥ח עַל כֵּ֗ן אֶ֭זְכָּרְךָ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ יַרְדֵּ֑ן וְ֝חֶרְמוֹנִ֗ים מֵהַ֥ר מִצְעָֽר
- 8Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.תְּהֽוֹם אֶל תְּה֣וֹם ק֭וֹרֵא לְק֣וֹל צִנּוֹרֶ֑יךָ כָּֽל מִשְׁבָּרֶ֥יךָ וְ֝גַלֶּ֗יךָ עָלַ֥י עָבָֽרוּ
- 9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?יוֹמָ֤ם יְצַוֶּ֬ה יְהוָ֨ה חַסְדּ֗וֹ וּ֭בַלַּיְלָה שירה שִׁיר֣וֹ עִמִּ֑י תְּ֝פִלָּ֗ה לְאֵ֣ל חַיָּֽי
- 10As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?אוֹמְרָ֤ה לְאֵ֥ל סַלְעִי֮ לָמָ֪ה שְׁכַ֫חְתָּ֥נִי לָֽמָּה קֹדֵ֥ר אֵלֵ֗ךְ בְּלַ֣חַץ אוֹיֵֽב
- 11Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.בְּרֶ֤צַח בְּֽעַצְמוֹתַ֗י חֵרְפ֥וּנִי צוֹרְרָ֑י בְּאָמְרָ֥ם אֵלַ֥י כָּל הַ֝יּ֗וֹם אַיֵּ֥ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ

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.
