The sequence of Psalms from the enigmatic oracle of 110 to the shortest psalm 117 surely would inspire some poet somewhere to construct a hymn. Or some musician somewhere to compose a melody.
Any takers? - A successful poem or composition based on these ideas might make it into the oratorio I am designing. I have spread these as a counterpoint to the human in the creation.
Notice how 111-113 and 115, 116 do not begin on the default tonic. This shows the continuity of these psalms into two groups 110-113, 114-116, 117 as a premonition of 150, but there is a long history between 117 and 150.
an oracle of Yahweh to my Lord. Sit at my right hand,
till I set your enemies as your footstool.
1f Hallelu Yah. I will thank Yahweh with a whole heart,
Before the council of the upright, and assembly.
1f Hallelu Yah. A happy person fears Yahweh.
By his commandments he has much delight.
1f Hallelu Yah. Praise servants of Yahweh.
Praise the name of Yahweh.
1 When Israel came out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from an exotic people,
2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his parables.
1C Not to us Yahweh not to us,
but to your name give glory,
over your kindness, over your truth.
1g I love, for Yahweh heard,
the voice of my supplication.
1 Praise Yahweh, all nations.
Commend him, all the clans.
