- 2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.עָנָ֣ן וַעֲרָפֶ֣ל סְבִיבָ֑יו צֶ֥דֶק וּ֝מִשְׁפָּ֗ט מְכ֣וֹן כִּסְאֽוֹ
- 3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.אֵ֭שׁ לְפָנָ֣יו תֵּלֵ֑ךְ וּתְלַהֵ֖ט סָבִ֣יב צָרָֽיו

- 5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.הָרִ֗ים כַּדּוֹנַ֗ג נָ֭מַסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה מִ֝לִּפְנֵ֗י אֲד֣וֹן כָּל הָאָֽרֶץ

- 7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.יֵבֹ֤שׁוּ כָּל עֹ֬בְדֵי פֶ֗סֶל הַמִּֽתְהַלְלִ֥ים בָּאֱלִילִ֑ים הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ כָּל אֱלֹהִֽים
- 8Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.שָׁמְעָ֬ה וַתִּשְׂמַ֨ח צִיּ֗וֹן וַ֭תָּגֵלְנָה בְּנ֣וֹת יְהוּדָ֑ה לְמַ֖עַן מִשְׁפָּטֶ֣יךָ יְהוָֽה
- 9For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.כִּֽי אַתָּ֤ה יְהוָ֗ה עֶלְי֥וֹן עַל כָּל הָאָ֑רֶץ מְאֹ֥ד נַ֝עֲלֵ֗יתָ עַל כָּל אֱלֹהִֽים
- 10Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.אֹהֲבֵ֥י יְהוָ֗ה שִׂנְא֫וּ רָ֥ע שֹׁ֭מֵר נַפְשׁ֣וֹת חֲסִידָ֑יו מִיַּ֥ד רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים יַצִּילֵֽם

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.
