SimHebrew now without or with music and with automated punctuation

Psalms 1

a awri-haiw awr | la hlç byxt rwyim,
ubdrç k'taim la ymd,
ubmowb lxim la iwb.
[1 Happy the person who does not walk in the advice of the wicked,
and in the way of sinners does not stand,
and in the seat of the scornful does not sit.]
b ci am btort ihvh kpxo,
ubtorto ihgh iomm vlilh.
[2 In contrast: in the instruction of Yahweh is his delight,
and in his instruction he mutters day and night.]
g vhih cyx wtul yl-plgi mim,
awr prio | itn byto vylhu la-ibol.
vcl awr-iywh ixlik.
[3 Such a one will be like a tree transplanted by streams of water,
that gives its fruit in its time and its leaf does not wither.
And in all that it does, it thrives.]
d la-cn hrwyim,
ci am-cmx awr-tdpnu ruk.
[4 Not so the-many wicked,
in contrast: like chaff that wind blows.]
h yl-cn | la-iqmu rwyim bmwp't,
vk'taim bydt xdiqim.
[5 So they will not arise, the wicked, in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the-many righteous.]
v ci-iody ihvh drç xdiqim,
vdrç rwyim tabd.
[6 For Yahweh knows the way of those righteous,
but the way of those wicked will perish.]

Psalms 1

a afweri-haviw awCr | lfa hlç~ byxdt rw<yfim,

[1 Happy the person who does not walk in the advice of the wicked,
and in the way of sinners does not stand,
and in the seat of the scornful does not sit.]
b cCi afm btorft ihvvh k<pxfo,
uebtortfo ihgvh iomfm vleilh.
[2 In contrast: in the instruction of Yahweh is his delight,
and in his instruction he mutters day and night.]
g vehivh cyx~ wtdul yel-plg<i mfim,

vcgl awr-iywBh ixleik.
[3 Such a one will be like a tree transplanted by streams of water,
that gives its fruit in its time and its leaf does not wither.
And in all that it does, it thrives.]
d la-cfn hrwyAim,
cfi am-c/mvx aewr-tdpfnu reuk.
[4 Not so the-many wicked,
in contrast: like chaff that wind blows.]
h yl-cCn | la-iqBmu rgwyim bmwpA't,
v/k'tavim bydft xdiqeim.
[5 So they will not arise, the wicked, in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the-many righteous.]
v cei-iodBy ighvh dBrç xdiqAim,
vdgrç rwyBim tabed.
[6 For Yahweh knows the way of those righteous,
but the way of those wicked will perish.]

The music in my traditional form is below.
The first verse has an unexpectedly early silluq in it on the shin that my music program ignores. The minor sixth would be slightly easier than the rise of the diminished fifth. Haïk-Vantoura's version begins on the tonic, not as in the Leningrad codex on the supertonic. The latter I think is better if my thesis about opening notes as connectors with what has gone before is true.
