Psalm 56 - is the structure as precise as some say?

I omit some words from these tables - notably God (8 times) is not in the table below. Sometimes the divine invocation is a factor in the structure. Therrien has a detailed set of indentations that make the poem look more metaphysical than it really is. The Hebrew poet is not from 17th century England. As noted in the earlier post, the new frame is quite appropriate - David is a fugitive, will he not return?
