- 1[Maschil of Asaph.] O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?מַשְׂכִּ֗יל לְאָ֫סָ֥ף לָמָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים זָנַ֣חְתָּ לָנֶ֑צַח יֶעְשַׁ֥ן אַ֝פְּךָ֗ בְּצֹ֣אן מַרְעִיתֶֽךָ
- 2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.זְכֹ֤ר עֲדָתְךָ֨ קָ֘נִ֤יתָ קֶּ֗דֶם גָּ֭אַלְתָּ שֵׁ֣בֶט נַחֲלָתֶ֑ךָ הַר צִ֝יּ֗וֹן זֶ֤ה שָׁכַ֬נְתָּ
- 3Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.הָרִ֣ימָה פְ֭עָמֶיךָ לְמַשֻּׁא֣וֹת נֶ֑צַח כָּל הֵרַ֖ע אוֹיֵ֣ב בַּקֹּֽדֶשׁ
- 4Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.שָׁאֲג֣וּ צֹ֭רְרֶיךָ בְּקֶ֣רֶב מוֹעֲדֶ֑ךָ שָׂ֖מוּ אוֹתֹתָ֣ם אֹתֽוֹת
- 5A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.יִ֭וָּדַע כְּמֵבִ֣יא לְמָ֑עְלָה בִּֽסֲבָךְ עֵ֝֗ץ קַרְדֻּמּֽוֹת
- 6But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.ועת וְ֭עַתָּה פִּתּוּחֶ֣יהָ יָּ֑חַד בְּכַשִּׁ֥יל וְ֝כֵֽילַפֹּ֗ת יַהֲלֹמֽוּן
- 7They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.שִׁלְח֣וּ בָ֭אֵשׁ מִקְדָּשֶׁ֑ךָ לָ֝אָ֗רֶץ חִלְּל֥וּ מִֽשְׁכַּן שְׁמֶֽךָ
- 8They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.אָמְר֣וּ בְ֭לִבָּם נִינָ֣ם יָ֑חַד שָׂרְפ֖וּ כָל מוֹעֲדֵי אֵ֣ל בָּאָֽרֶץ
- 9We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.אֽוֹתֹתֵ֗ינוּ לֹ֥א רָ֫אִ֥ינוּ אֵֽין ע֥וֹד נָבִ֑יא וְלֹֽא אִ֝תָּ֗נוּ יֹדֵ֥עַ עַד מָֽה
- 10O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?עַד מָתַ֣י אֱ֭לֹהִים יְחָ֣רֶף צָ֑ר יְנָ֘אֵ֤ץ אוֹיֵ֖ב שִׁמְךָ֣ לָנֶֽצַח
- 11Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.לָ֤מָּה תָשִׁ֣יב יָ֭דְךָ וִֽימִינֶ֑ךָ מִקֶּ֖רֶב חוקך חֵֽיקְךָ֣ כַלֵּֽה
- 12For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.וֵ֭אלֹהִים מַלְכִּ֣י מִקֶּ֑דֶם פֹּעֵ֥ל יְ֝שׁוּע֗וֹת בְּקֶ֣רֶב הָאָֽרֶץ
- 13Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.אַתָּ֤ה פוֹרַ֣רְתָּ בְעָזְּךָ֣ יָ֑ם שִׁבַּ֖רְתָּ רָאשֵׁ֥י תַ֝נִּינִ֗ים עַל הַמָּֽיִם
- 14Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.אַתָּ֣ה רִ֭צַּצְתָּ רָאשֵׁ֣י לִוְיָתָ֑ן תִּתְּנֶ֥נּוּ מַ֝אֲכָ֗ל לְעָ֣ם לְצִיִּֽים
- 15Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.אַתָּ֣ה בָ֭קַעְתָּ מַעְיָ֣ן וָנָ֑חַל אַתָּ֥ה ה֝וֹבַ֗שְׁתָּ נַהֲר֥וֹת אֵיתָֽן
- 16The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.י֭וֹם אַף לָ֑יְלָה אַתָּ֥ה הֲ֝כִינ֗וֹתָ מָא֥וֹר וָשָֽׁמֶשׁ
- 17Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.אַתָּ֣ה הִ֭צַּבְתָּ כָּל גְּבוּל֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ קַ֥יִץ וָ֝חֹ֗רֶף אַתָּ֥ה יְצַרְתָּם
- 18Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.זְכָר זֹ֗את א֭וֹיֵב חֵרֵ֣ף יְהוָ֑ה וְעַ֥ם נָ֝בָ֗ל נִֽאֲצ֥וּ שְׁמֶֽךָ
- 19O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.אַל תִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭חַיַּת נֶ֣פֶשׁ תּוֹרֶ֑ךָ חַיַּ֥ת עֲ֝נִיֶּ֗יךָ אַל תִּשְׁכַּ֥ח לָנֶֽצַח
- 20Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.הַבֵּ֥ט לַבְּרִ֑ית כִּ֥י מָלְא֥וּ מַחֲשַׁכֵּי אֶ֝֗רֶץ נְא֣וֹת חָמָֽס
- 21O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.אַל יָשֹׁ֣ב דַּ֣ךְ נִכְלָ֑ם עָנִ֥י וְ֝אֶבְי֗וֹן יְֽהַלְל֥וּ שְׁמֶֽךָ
- 22Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.קוּמָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים רִיבָ֣ה רִיבֶ֑ךָ זְכֹ֥ר חֶרְפָּתְךָ֥ מִנִּי נָ֝בָ֗ל כָּל הַיּֽוֹם
- 23Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.אַל תִּ֭שְׁכַּח ק֣וֹל צֹרְרֶ֑יךָ שְׁא֥וֹן קָ֝מֶ֗יךָ עֹלֶ֥ה תָמִֽיד

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.
