- 2Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.גָּ֘ד֤וֹל יְהוָ֣ה וּמְהֻלָּ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד בְּעִ֥יר אֱ֝לֹהֵ֗ינוּ הַר קָדְשֽׁוֹ
- 3God is known in her palaces for a refuge.יְפֵ֥ה נוֹף֮ מְשׂ֪וֹשׂ כָּל הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ הַר צִ֭יּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵ֣י צָפ֑וֹן קִ֝רְיַ֗ת מֶ֣לֶךְ רָֽב
- 4For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.אֱלֹהִ֥ים בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֶ֗יהָ נוֹדַ֥ע לְמִשְׂגָּֽב
- 5They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.כִּֽי הִנֵּ֣ה הַ֭מְּלָכִים נֽוֹעֲד֑וּ עָבְר֥וּ יַחְדָּֽו
- 6Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.הֵ֣מָּה רָ֭אוּ כֵּ֣ן תָּמָ֑הוּ נִבְהֲל֥וּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ
- 7Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.רְ֭עָדָה אֲחָזָ֣תַם שָׁ֑ם חִ֝֗יל כַּיּוֹלֵֽדָה

- 9We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר שָׁמַ֨עְנוּ כֵּ֤ן רָאִ֗ינוּ בְּעִיר יְהוָ֣ה צְ֭בָאוֹת בְּעִ֣יר אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ אֱלֹ֘הִ֤ים יְכוֹנְנֶ֖הָ עַד עוֹלָ֣ם סֶֽלָה
- 10According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.דִּמִּ֣ינוּ אֱלֹהִ֣ים חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ בְּ֝קֶ֗רֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ
- 11Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.כְּשִׁמְךָ֤ אֱלֹהִ֗ים כֵּ֣ן תְּ֭הִלָּתְךָ עַל קַצְוֵי אֶ֑רֶץ צֶ֝֗דֶק מָלְאָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ
- 12Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.יִשְׂמַ֤ח הַר צִיּ֗וֹן תָּ֭גֵלְנָה בְּנ֣וֹת יְהוּדָ֑ה לְ֝מַ֗עַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ
- 13Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.סֹ֣בּוּ צִ֭יּוֹן וְהַקִּיפ֑וּהָ סִ֝פְר֗וּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ
- 14For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.שִׁ֤יתוּ לִבְּכֶ֨ם לְֽחֵילָ֗ה פַּסְּג֥וּ אַרְמְנוֹתֶ֑יהָ לְמַ֥עַן תְּ֝סַפְּר֗וּ לְד֣וֹר אַחֲרֽוֹן

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.
