Psalm 5

Psalms 5: Syllables: 276; Longest recitation: 12; Tenor: e 31.16%;
Ornament density: 13.8%; Average phrase length: 10.2.

Verse 13 has the shortest distance between the two internal cadences that I can imagine.

This psalm has an instance of every ornament used in the poetry except shalshelet. 4 ole, so there should be 4 verses with a cadence on the second degree of the scale. 7 geresh, 15 revia 8 of which are not associated with a geresh, 2 qadma, 1 pazer, 2 zarqa, 4 tsinnor, 2 illuy. These are all the accents above the text. 13.8% of syllables are ornamented.
