The importance of words

Here lie before you the phrases of Psalm 68 in the order of the numeric value of the words according to absolute gematria. Don't worry, I am not going to prove modulo 19 arithmetic or anything else - but it is a curiousity to see where some ideas lead. The music of this count with the colours derived by spreading the gematria over a base of 256*256*256 - approx 16 million, and anchoring tamim at red produces the spectrum shown here.

update: this blogger editor doesn't support much html - but I managed to get it to show the color below - I can see I am cycling and probably missing some of the potential spectrum.
