Here is the Python script that extracts daily 5 Psalms ... Psalm 1 to 5 for day 1 of each month, 6 to 10 for day 2 of the month, 11 to 15 for day 3 ... etc...
Save this as a text file as: DailyPsalms.py file in a folder ...
and also save the text file it needs ... see it on the next page ... save that text in the same folder as: 1To150PsalmsFixed.txt
