  1. 1[To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.] O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ עַֽל הַגִּתִּ֗ית מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד
  2. 2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.יְהוָ֤ה אֲדֹנֵ֗ינוּ מָֽה אַדִּ֣יר שִׁ֭מְךָ בְּכָל הָאָ֑רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּנָ֥ה ה֝וֹדְךָ֗ עַל הַשָּׁמָֽיִם
  3. 3When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;מִפִּ֤י עֽוֹלְלִ֨ים וְֽיֹנְקִים֮ יִסַּ֪דְתָּ֫ עֹ֥ז לְמַ֥עַן צוֹרְרֶ֑יךָ לְהַשְׁבִּ֥ית א֝וֹיֵ֗ב וּמִתְנַקֵּֽם
  4. 4What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?כִּֽי אֶרְאֶ֣ה שָׁ֭מֶיךָ מַעֲשֵׂ֣י אֶצְבְּעֹתֶ֑יךָ יָרֵ֥חַ וְ֝כוֹכָבִ֗ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר כּוֹנָֽנְתָּה
  5. 5For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.מָֽה אֱנ֥וֹשׁ כִּֽי תִזְכְּרֶ֑נּוּ וּבֶן אָ֝דָ֗ם כִּ֣י תִפְקְדֶֽנּוּ
  6. 6Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:וַתְּחַסְּרֵ֣הוּ מְּ֭עַט מֵאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְכָב֖וֹד וְהָדָ֣ר תְּעַטְּרֵֽהוּ
  7. 7All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;תַּ֭מְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣י יָדֶ֑יךָ כֹּ֝ל שַׁ֣תָּה תַֽחַת רַגְלָֽיו
  8. 8The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.צֹנֶ֣ה וַאֲלָפִ֣ים כֻּלָּ֑ם וְ֝גַ֗ם בַּהֲמ֥וֹת שָׂדָֽי
  9. 9O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!צִפּ֣וֹר שָׁ֭מַיִם וּדְגֵ֣י הַיָּ֑ם עֹ֝בֵ֗ר אָרְח֥וֹת יַמִּֽים

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.
