- 1[A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.] O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִ֑ד בִּ֝הְיוֹת֗וֹ בְּמִדְבַּ֥ר יְהוּדָֽה
- 2To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.אֱלֹהִ֤ים אֵלִ֥י אַתָּ֗ה אֲֽשַׁחֲ֫רֶ֥ךָּ צָמְאָ֬ה נַפְשִׁ֗י כָּמַ֣הּ בְשָׂרִ֑י בְּאֶֽרֶץ צִיָּ֖ה וְעָיֵ֣ף בְּלִי מָֽיִם
- 3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.כֵּ֭ן בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ חֲזִיתִ֑יךָ לִרְא֥וֹת עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ וּכְבוֹדֶֽךָ
- 4Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.כִּי ט֣וֹב חַ֭סְדְּךָ מֵֽחַיִּ֗ים שְׂפָתַ֥י יְשַׁבְּחֽוּנְךָ
- 5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:כֵּ֣ן אֲבָרֶכְךָ֣ בְחַיָּ֑י בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ אֶשָּׂ֥א כַפָּֽי
- 6When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.כְּמ֤וֹ חֵ֣לֶב וָ֭דֶשֶׁן תִּשְׂבַּ֣ע נַפְשִׁ֑י וְשִׂפְתֵ֥י רְ֝נָנ֗וֹת יְהַלֶּל פִּֽי
- 7Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.אִם זְכַרְתִּ֥יךָ עַל יְצוּעָ֑י בְּ֝אַשְׁמֻר֗וֹת אֶהְגֶּה
- 8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.כִּֽי הָיִ֣יתָ עֶזְרָ֣תָה וּבְצֵ֖ל כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ אֲרַנֵּֽן
- 9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.דָּבְקָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֣י אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ תָּמְכָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ
- 10They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.וְהֵ֗מָּה לְ֭שׁוֹאָה יְבַקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י יָ֝בֹ֗אוּ בְּֽתַחְתִּיּ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ
- 11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.יַגִּירֻ֥הוּ עַל יְדֵי חָ֑רֶב מְנָ֖ת שֻׁעָלִ֣ים יִהְיֽוּ

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.
