- 1[A Psalm of Asaph.] Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.מִזְמ֗וֹר לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אַ֤ךְ ט֭וֹב לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל אֱלֹהִ֗ים לְבָרֵ֥י לֵבָֽב
- 2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.וַאֲנִ֗י כִּ֭מְעַט נטוי נָטָ֣יוּ רַגְלָ֑י כְּ֝אַ֗יִן שפכה שֻׁפְּכ֥וּ אֲשֻׁרָֽי
- 3For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.כִּֽי קִ֭נֵּאתִי בַּֽהוֹלְלִ֑ים שְׁל֖וֹם רְשָׁעִ֣ים אֶרְאֶֽה
- 4For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.כִּ֤י אֵ֖ין חַרְצֻבּ֥וֹת לְמוֹתָ֗ם וּבָרִ֥יא אוּלָֽם
- 5They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.בַּעֲמַ֣ל אֱנ֣וֹשׁ אֵינֵ֑מוֹ וְעִם אָ֝דָ֗ם לֹ֣א יְנֻגָּֽעוּ
- 6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.לָ֭כֵן עֲנָקַ֣תְמוֹ גַאֲוָ֑ה יַעֲטָף שִׁ֝֗ית חָמָ֥ס
- 7Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.יָ֭צָא מֵחֵ֣לֶב עֵינֵ֑מוֹ עָ֝בְר֗וּ מַשְׂכִּיּ֥וֹת לֵבָֽב
- 8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.יָמִ֤יקוּ וִידַבְּר֣וּ בְרָ֣ע עֹ֑שֶׁק מִמָּר֥וֹם יְדַבֵּֽרוּ
- 9They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.שַׁתּ֣וּ בַשָּׁמַ֣יִם פִּיהֶ֑ם וּ֝לְשׁוֹנָ֗ם תִּֽהֲלַ֥ךְ בָּאָֽרֶץ
- 10Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.לָכֵ֤ן ישיב יָשׁ֣וּב עַמּ֣וֹ הֲלֹ֑ם וּמֵ֥י מָ֝לֵ֗א יִמָּ֥צוּ
- 11And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?וְֽאָמְר֗וּ אֵיכָ֥ה יָדַֽע אֵ֑ל וְיֵ֖שׁ דֵּעָ֣ה בְעֶלְיֽוֹן
- 12Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.הִנֵּה אֵ֥לֶּה רְשָׁעִ֑ים וְשַׁלְוֵ֥י ע֝וֹלָ֗ם הִשְׂגּוּ חָֽיִל
- 13Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.אַךְ רִ֭יק זִכִּ֣יתִי לְבָבִ֑י וָאֶרְחַ֖ץ בְּנִקָּי֣וֹן כַּפָּֽי
- 14For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.וָאֱהִ֣י נָ֭גוּעַ כָּל הַיּ֑וֹם וְ֝תוֹכַחְתִּ֗י לַבְּקָרִֽים
- 15If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.אִם אָ֭מַרְתִּי אֲסַפְּרָ֥ה כְמ֑וֹ הִנֵּ֤ה ד֭וֹר בָּנֶ֣יךָ בָגָֽדְתִּי
- 16When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;וָֽ֭אֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַ֣עַת זֹ֑את עָמָ֖ל היא ה֣וּא בְעֵינָֽי
- 17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.עַד אָ֭בוֹא אֶל מִקְדְּשֵׁי אֵ֑ל אָ֝בִ֗ינָה לְאַחֲרִיתָֽם
- 18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.אַ֣ךְ בַּ֭חֲלָקוֹת תָּשִׁ֣ית הִ֝פַּלְתָּ֗ם לְמַשּׁוּאֽוֹת
- 19How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.אֵ֤יךְ הָי֣וּ לְשַׁמָּ֣ה כְרָ֑גַע סָ֥פוּ תַ֝֗מּוּ מִן בַּלָּהֽוֹת
- 20As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.כַּחֲל֥וֹם מֵהָקִ֑יץ אֲ֝דֹנָי בָּעִ֤יר צַלְמָ֬ם תִּבְזֶֽה
- 21Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.כִּ֭י יִתְחַמֵּ֣ץ לְבָבִ֑י וְ֝כִלְיוֹתַ֗י אֶשְׁתּוֹנָֽן
- 22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. before Heb. withוַאֲנִי בַ֭עַר וְלֹ֣א אֵדָ֑ע בְּ֝הֵמ֗וֹת הָיִ֥יתִי עִמָּֽךְ
- 23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.וַאֲנִ֣י תָמִ֣יד עִמָּ֑ךְ אָ֝חַ֗זְתָּ בְּיַד יְמִינִֽי
- 24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.בַּעֲצָתְךָ֥ תַנְחֵ֑נִי וְ֝אַחַ֗ר כָּב֥וֹד תִּקָּחֵֽנִי
- 25Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.מִי בַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְ֝עִמְּךָ֗ לֹא חָפַ֥צְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ
- 26My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.כָּלָ֥ה שְׁאֵרִ֗י וּלְבָ֫בִ֥י צוּר לְבָבִ֥י וְחֶלְקִ֗י אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְעוֹלָֽם
- 27For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.כִּֽי הִנֵּ֣ה רְחֵקֶ֣יךָ יֹאבֵ֑דוּ הִ֝צְמַ֗תָּה כָּל זוֹנֶ֥ה מִמֶּֽךָּ
- 28But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.וַאֲנִ֤י קִֽרֲבַ֥ת אֱלֹהִ֗ים ט֥וֹב שַׁתִּ֤י בַּאדֹנָ֣י יְהֹוִ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י לְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר כָּל מַלְאֲכוֹתֶֽיךָ

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.
