- 1[Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite.] I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.מַ֝שְׂכִּ֗יל לְאֵיתָ֥ן הָֽאֶזְרָחִֽי
- 2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.חַֽסְדֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה עוֹלָ֣ם אָשִׁ֑ירָה לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֓ר אוֹדִ֖יעַ אֱמוּנָתְךָ֣ בְּפִֽי
- 3I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,כִּֽי אָמַ֗רְתִּי ע֭וֹלָם חֶ֣סֶד יִבָּנֶ֑ה שָׁמַ֓יִם תָּכִ֖ן אֱמוּנָתְךָ֣
- 4Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.כָּרַ֣תִּֽי בְ֭רִית לִבְחִירִ֑י נִ֝שְׁבַּ֗עְתִּי לְדָוִ֥ד עַבְדִּֽי
- 5And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.עַד ע֭וֹלָם אָכִ֣ין זַרְעֶ֑ךָ וּבָנִ֨יתִי לְדֹר וָד֖וֹר כִּסְאֲךָ֣ סֶֽלָה
- 6For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?וְי֘וֹד֤וּ שָׁמַ֣יִם פִּלְאֲךָ֣ יְהוָ֑ה אַף אֱ֝מֽוּנָתְךָ֗ בִּקְהַ֥ל קְדֹשִֽׁים
- 7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.כִּ֤י מִ֣י בַ֭שַּׁחַק יַעֲרֹ֣ךְ לַיהוָ֑ה יִדְמֶ֥ה לַ֝יהוָ֗ה בִּבְנֵ֥י אֵלִים
- 8O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?אֵ֣ל נַ֭עֲרָץ בְּסוֹד קְדֹשִׁ֣ים רַבָּ֑ה וְ֝נוֹרָ֗א עַל כָּל סְבִיבָֽיו
- 9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צְבָא֗וֹת מִֽי כָֽמ֖וֹךָ חֲסִ֥ין יָ֑הּ וֶ֝אֱמֽוּנָתְךָ֗ סְבִיבוֹתֶֽיךָ
- 10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.אַתָּ֣ה מ֭וֹשֵׁל בְּגֵא֣וּת הַיָּ֑ם בְּשׂ֥וֹא גַ֝לָּ֗יו אַתָּ֥ה תְשַׁבְּחֵֽם
- 11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.אַתָּ֤ה דִכִּ֣אתָ כֶחָלָ֣ל רָ֑הַב בִּזְר֥וֹעַ עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ פִּזַּ֥רְתָּ אוֹיְבֶֽיךָ
- 12The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.שָׁ֭מַיִם אַף אָ֑רֶץ תֵּבֵ֥ל וּ֝מְלֹאָ֗הּ אַתָּ֥ה יְסַדְתָּֽם
- 13Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.צָפ֣וֹן וְ֭יָמִין אַתָּ֣ה בְרָאתָ֑ם תָּב֥וֹר וְ֝חֶרְמ֗וֹן בְּשִׁמְךָ֥ יְרַנֵּֽנוּ
- 14Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.זְ֭רוֹעַ עִם גְּבוּרָ֑ה תָּעֹ֥ז יָ֝דְךָ֗ תָּר֥וּם יְמִינֶֽךָ
- 15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.צֶ֣דֶק וּ֭מִשְׁפָּט מְכ֣וֹן כִּסְאֶ֑ךָ חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת יְֽקַדְּמ֥וּ פָנֶֽיךָ
- 16In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.אַשְׁרֵ֣י הָ֭עָם יוֹדְעֵ֣י תְרוּעָ֑ה יְ֝הוָ֗ה בְּֽאוֹר פָּנֶ֥יךָ יְהַלֵּכֽוּן
- 17For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.בְּ֭שִׁמְךָ יְגִיל֣וּן כָּל הַיּ֑וֹם וּבְצִדְקָתְךָ֥ יָרֽוּמוּ
- 18For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.כִּֽי תִפְאֶ֣רֶת עֻזָּ֣מוֹ אָ֑תָּה וּ֝בִרְצֹנְךָ֗ תרים תָּר֥וּם קַרְנֵֽנוּ
- 19Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.כִּ֣י לַֽ֭יהוָה מָֽגִנֵּ֑נוּ וְלִקְד֖וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מַלְכֵּֽנוּ
- 20I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:אָ֤ז דִּבַּ֥רְתָּֽ בְחָ֡זוֹן לַֽחֲסִידֶ֗יךָ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר שִׁוִּ֣יתִי עֵ֭זֶר עַל גִּבּ֑וֹר הֲרִימ֖וֹתִי בָח֣וּר מֵעָֽם
- 21With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.מָ֭צָאתִי דָּוִ֣ד עַבְדִּ֑י בְּשֶׁ֖מֶן קָדְשִׁ֣י מְשַׁחְתִּֽיו
- 22The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.אֲשֶׁ֣ר יָ֭דִי תִּכּ֣וֹן עִמּ֑וֹ אַף זְרוֹעִ֥י תְאַמְּצֶֽנּוּ
- 23And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.לֹֽא יַשִּׁ֣א אוֹיֵ֣ב וּבֶן עַ֝וְלָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽנּוּ
- 24But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.וְכַתּוֹתִ֣י מִפָּנָ֣יו צָרָ֑יו וּמְשַׂנְאָ֥יו אֶגּֽוֹף
- 25I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.וֶֽאֶֽמוּנָתִ֣י וְחַסְדִּ֣י עִמּ֑וֹ וּ֝בִשְׁמִ֗י תָּר֥וּם קַרְנֽוֹ
- 26He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.וְשַׂמְתִּ֣י בַיָּ֣ם יָד֑וֹ וּֽבַנְּהָר֥וֹת יְמִינֽוֹ
- 27Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.ה֣וּא יִ֭קְרָאֵנִי אָ֣בִי אָ֑תָּה אֵ֝לִ֗י וְצ֣וּר יְשׁוּעָתִֽי
- 28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.אַף אָ֭נִי בְּכ֣וֹר אֶתְּנֵ֑הוּ עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן לְמַלְכֵי אָֽרֶץ
- 29His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.לְ֭עוֹלָ֗ם אשמור אֶשְׁמָר חַסְדִּ֑י וּ֝בְרִיתִ֗י נֶאֱמֶ֥נֶת
- 30If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;וְשַׂמְתִּ֣י לָעַ֣ד זַרְע֑וֹ וְ֝כִסְא֗וֹ כִּימֵ֥י שָׁמָֽיִם
- 31If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;אִם יַֽעַזְב֣וּ בָ֭נָיו תּוֹרָתִ֑י וּ֝בְמִשְׁפָּטַ֗י לֹ֣א יֵלֵכֽוּן
- 32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.אִם חֻקֹּתַ֥י יְחַלֵּ֑לוּ וּ֝מִצְוֺתַ֗י לֹ֣א יִשְׁמֹֽרוּ
- 33Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.וּפָקַדְתִּ֣י בְשֵׁ֣בֶט פִּשְׁעָ֑ם וּבִנְגָעִ֥ים עֲוֺנָֽם
- 34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.וְ֭חַסְדִּי לֹֽא אָפִ֣יר מֵֽעִמּ֑וֹ וְלֹֽא אֲ֝שַׁקֵּ֗ר בֶּאֱמוּנָתִֽי
- 35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.לֹא אֲחַלֵּ֥ל בְּרִיתִ֑י וּמוֹצָ֥א שְׂ֝פָתַ֗י לֹ֣א אֲשַׁנֶּֽה
- 36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.אַ֭חַת נִשְׁבַּ֣עְתִּי בְקָדְשִׁ֑י אִֽם לְדָוִ֥ד אֲכַזֵּֽב
- 37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.זַ֭רְעוֹ לְעוֹלָ֣ם יִהְיֶ֑ה וְכִסְא֖וֹ כַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ נֶגְדִּֽי
- 38But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.כְּ֭יָרֵחַ יִכּ֣וֹן עוֹלָ֑ם וְעֵ֥ד בַּ֝שַּׁ֗חַק נֶאֱמָ֥ן סֶֽלָה
- 39Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.וְאַתָּ֣ה זָ֭נַחְתָּ וַתִּמְאָ֑ס הִ֝תְעַבַּ֗רְתָּ עִם מְשִׁיחֶֽךָ
- 40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.נֵ֭אַרְתָּה בְּרִ֣ית עַבְדֶּ֑ךָ חִלַּ֖לְתָּ לָאָ֣רֶץ נִזְרֽוֹ
- 41All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.פָּרַ֥צְתָּ כָל גְּדֵרֹתָ֑יו שַׂ֖מְתָּ מִבְצָרָ֣יו מְחִתָּה
- 42Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.שַׁ֭סֻּהוּ כָּל עֹ֣בְרֵי דָ֑רֶךְ הָיָ֥ה חֶ֝רְפָּ֗ה לִשְׁכֵנָֽיו
- 43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.הֲ֭רִימוֹתָ יְמִ֣ין צָרָ֑יו הִ֝שְׂמַ֗חְתָּ כָּל אוֹיְבָֽיו
- 44Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.אַף תָּ֭שִׁיב צ֣וּר חַרְבּ֑וֹ וְלֹ֥א הֲ֝קֵימֹת֗וֹ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה
- 45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.הִשְׁבַּ֥תָּ מִטְּהָר֑וֹ וְ֝כִסְא֗וֹ לָאָ֥רֶץ מִגַּֽרְתָּה
- 46How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?הִ֭קְצַרְתָּ יְמֵ֣י עֲלוּמָ֑יו הֶֽעֱטִ֨יתָ עָלָ֖יו בּוּשָׁ֣ה סֶֽלָה
- 47Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?עַד מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תִּסָּתֵ֣ר לָנֶ֑צַח תִּבְעַ֖ר כְּמוֹ אֵ֣שׁ חֲמָתֶֽךָ
- 48What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.זְכָר אֲנִ֥י מֶה חָ֑לֶד עַל מַה שָּׁ֝֗וְא בָּרָ֥אתָ כָל בְּנֵי אָדָֽם
- 49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?מִ֤י גֶ֣בֶר יִֽ֭חְיֶה וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֶה מָּ֑וֶת יְמַלֵּ֨ט נַפְשׁ֖וֹ מִיַּד שְׁא֣וֹל סֶֽלָה

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.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
