- 2Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.הַ֭רְנִינוּ לֵאלֹהִ֣ים עוּזֵּ֑נוּ הָ֝רִ֗יעוּ לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב
- 3Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.שְֽׂאוּ זִ֭מְרָה וּתְנוּ תֹ֑ף כִּנּ֖וֹר נָעִ֣ים עִם נָֽבֶל
- 4For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.תִּקְע֣וּ בַחֹ֣דֶשׁ שׁוֹפָ֑ר בַּ֝כֵּ֗סֶה לְי֣וֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ
- 5This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.כִּ֤י חֹ֣ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל ה֑וּא מִ֝שְׁפָּ֗ט לֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב
- 6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.עֵ֤דוּת בִּֽיה֘וֹסֵ֤ף שָׂמ֗וֹ בְּ֭צֵאתוֹ עַל אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם שְׂפַ֖ת לֹא יָדַ֣עְתִּי אֶשְׁמָֽע
- 7Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.הֲסִיר֣וֹתִי מִסֵּ֣בֶל שִׁכְמ֑וֹ כַּ֝פָּ֗יו מִדּ֥וּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְנָה
- 8Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;בַּצָּרָ֥ה קָרָ֗אתָ וָאֲחַ֫לְּצֶ֥ךָּ אֶ֭עֶנְךָ בְּסֵ֣תֶר רַ֑עַם אֶבְחָֽנְךָ֨ עַל מֵ֖י מְרִיבָ֣ה סֶֽלָה
- 9There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.שְׁמַ֣ע עַ֭מִּי וְאָעִ֣ידָה יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל אִם תִּֽשְׁמַֽע
- 10I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.לֹֽא יִהְיֶ֣ה אֵ֣ל זָ֑ר וְלֹ֥א תִ֝שְׁתַּחֲוֶ֗ה לְאֵ֣ל נֵכָֽר
- 11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.אָנֹכִ֨י יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ הַֽ֭מַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם הַרְחֶב פִּ֝֗יךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ
- 12So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.וְלֹא שָׁמַ֣ע עַמִּ֣י לְקוֹלִ֑י וְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לֹא אָ֥בָה
- 13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!וָֽ֭אֲשַׁלְּחֵהוּ בִּשְׁרִיר֣וּת לִבָּ֑ם יֵ֝לְכ֗וּ בְּֽמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶֽם
- 14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.ל֗וּ עַ֭מִּי שֹׁמֵ֣עַֽ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל בִּדְרָכַ֥י יְהַלֵּֽכוּ
- 15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.כִּ֭מְעַט אוֹיְבֵיהֶ֣ם אַכְנִ֑יעַ וְעַ֥ל צָ֝רֵיהֶ֗ם אָשִׁ֥יב יָדִֽי
- 16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.מְשַׂנְאֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה יְכַֽחֲשׁוּ וִיהִ֖י עִתָּ֣ם לְעוֹלָֽם

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.
