גשפא
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is גשפא. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in Nehemiah 11:21; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 384 — the same as the Torah word משלוח, “undertaking of the hand”. That number points to Torah page 30 of 354 — in the portion Vayera. What that portion is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Proverbs 19:2. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Gispa” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: גשפא. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.

Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 384. A Torah word with the same number is משלוח — “undertaking of the hand” (Deuteronomy 12:7).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 15. A Torah word with the same number is זוב — “to flow” (Exodus 3:8).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 42. A Torah word with the same number is חדל — “to cease” (Genesis 11:8).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 1507.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 96410.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 1073.
The word that comes out is רבות. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 608. A Torah word with the same number is תרח — “Terah, father of Abraham” (Genesis 11:24).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 635. A Torah word with the same number is שלשה — “three” (Genesis 6:10).

For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name גשפא does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
The Pentateuch has no verse that begins with ג and ends with א. The custom allows the whole Tanakh — the Prophets and the Writings have 3 such verses. The first of them is Proverbs 19:2:
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
