Amichai, thank you so much for this, there's important learning in what you say here. I looked up your text from the archive, because I had misremembered that Handel's "Dixit Dominus" - still the most glorious musical setting of any psalm, in all history, in my view - was psalm 100, due to its jubilant musical language. YouTube taught me otherwise. I then looked up the text, and thought: "I wonder what Amichai has to say about this in his project?" I had been aware of various such disputations during the Middle Ages and also of Nachmanides, but never about the details you give here.
