#Psalmtweet #Psalter 5:7

Psalms 5:7

 The poet is very confident in this psalm. Overconfident? We are reading in sequence. And there is already intimation of a rebuke. The music above illustrates a verse with a cadence on the supertonic only. The tessitura never reaches the subdominant.

The four table elements below are: 1. the Westminster Leningrad Codex Hebrew, 2. my rendering in English, 3. the SimHebrew based on the 'full spelling' without vowel pointing, and 4. an automated representation of prefix/root\suffix of the consonants in the first element.

תְּאַבֵּד֮ דֹּבְרֵ֪י כָ֫זָ֥ב
אִישׁ־דָּמִ֥ים וּמִרְמָ֗ה יְתָ֘עֵ֥ב ׀ יְהוָֽה
7 You will make the speakers of a lie to perish.
A person of blood and deceit Yahweh will abhor.
