Psalms 1 to 21 -- A sampling of first verses
Remember my analysis of the reciting notes for the 150 psalms? I was surprised
to find that I had started this idea some years ago -- but clearly forgot where
I was heading and didn't finish. Examining all the first verses is really quite
interesting. The table elements are percentages of syllables by psalm on each reciting note. I hope to make this a series -- about 20 psalms at a time. It's another way to get the message of the psalms across in a time of desperate need and a complete failure of sense on so many fronts.
