While I was doing this, I discovered something. I already point out that all of the Acrostics follow a Psalm of significance and act as celebratory markers.
–Psalm 8 (9-10); Psalm 24 (25); Psalm 33 (34); Psalm 36 (37)
–Psalm 110 (111-112); Psalm 118 (119); Psalm 144 (145)
But look at that surprising relationship: And tell me - what is the relationship I am pointing out - why are Psalms 8 and 144 related and why are Psalms 36 and 110 related? The relationship is unique to the pair in both cases. And this pairing is a chiasm X. (See the presentation for a hint on the Acrostics slide.)
I wonder if one combines this high-wire relationship with the repeated psalms (14-53, 40-70, 57+60 = 108) whether one could not imagine these somehow holding like tent poles the whole structure of the Psalter.
Also I wonder: does this imply a relationship between 118 and 24+33? What might that be? 24 and 118 have a clear link through open / door - gate.

33 and 118 share 34 roots accounting for 172 of 359 words (close to 1/2).
Here is a very constrained set - hard to reduce them and still see the results. (I even omitted חסד!)
24 and 118 share 17 roots accounting for 94 of 287 words (close to 1/3).
Here are the significant ones - slightly less constrained.
24 and 33 share 24 roots 90 / 250 - slightly over a third.
