#Psalmtweet #Psalter 2:6

The music of this verse begins on a note other than the tonic. My thesis is that this indicates a special connection with the prior verse.  (See this post.) You can see the music for the whole psalm here. The first 6 verses are all connected in this way. It is as if each verse is annotated with the instruction attacca.
וַ֭אֲנִי נָסַ֣כְתִּי מַלְכִּ֑י
עַל־צִ֝יּ֗וֹן הַר־קָדְשִֽׁי
6 ♪g I myself have offered as libation my own king,
on Zion, my holy hill.
