Messing about

I should be playing golf - but its raining and cold, so we didn't. So I am prepping a presentation for my book - and I noted in the text how Psalm 86 is built around six words in verse 15 all from Exodus 34:6 but I didn't spell it out - I sort of left it as an exercise.

Those 6 words account for 24 words of the 147  in the psalm in 15 of the 17 verses.

Selected recurring words from Psalm 86
