שִׁוִּיתִי

[שִׁוִּיתִי ה׳ לְנֶגְדִּי לִפְעָמִים]

For some of my readers, the picture will speak for itself. For others, here's the explanation: In many synagogues, especially Sephardi ones, you will see a plaque reading שִׁוִּיתִי ה׳ לְנֶגְדִּי תָּמִיד "I have set the Lord before me always" (Psalms 16:8). That's very nice for those who are capable of such piety. For me it would be more like the picture above, where the last word, in the insert, currently reads "sometimes".

(Note: This is a partial mock-up; I would not write the Tetragrammaton out for real for something as frivolous as this.)
