General information
The Hebrew text of psalm 12 (11) features a nice example of numerical value as practised by Jewish theological tradition: the two halves of the psalm (2 - 5 about humans and 6 - 9 about God) are composed of exactly the same number of words, 37. The word value 37 is shared by the word 'loyal', which appears in the very first line (fideles in Latin) and seems to be a keyword of the whole text.
