יְֽהוָ֗ה אַל־בְּאַפְּךָ֥ תוֹכִיחֵ֑נִי וְֽאַל־בַּחֲמָתְךָ֥ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִי | 2 | Yahweh, do not in your anger correct me, and do not in your heat chasten me. | 3e | 4A | 10 10 | |

Psalm 6
This psalm can be formative. [There is no doubt I saved all the hardest to read bits to the end! So I have to put out a psalm or three while I work slowly on the remaining pieces of this mammoth puzzle - making many little adjustments here and there also.]
