#Psalmtweet #Psalter 89:51 and 41

 The final poem of book 3.

The lament over the failure of the Davidic monarchy - resolution required

זְכֹ֣ר אֲ֭דֹנָי חֶרְפַּ֣ת עֲבָדֶ֑יךָ
שְׂאֵתִ֥י בְ֝חֵיקִ֗י כָּל־רַבִּ֥ים עַמִּֽים
51 Remember, my Lord, the reproach of your servants,
that I bear in my embrace all of a multitude of peoples,
na zcor adonii krpt ybdiç
wati bkiqi cl-rbim ymim

A verse that fails to resolve to the tonic. Is there a musical reason or is this a typo?


פָּרַ֥צְתָּ כָל־גְּדֵרֹתָ֑יו
שַׂ֖מְתָּ מִבְצָרָ֣יו מְחִתָּה
41 You have breached all his fences.
You have set up his enclosures in disarray.
