Dramatic Irony?
Has it been considered that, rather than not doing what the masters required (presumably on pain of death), that this psalm is the song of Zion sung in a strange land, but the overseers, not understanding the Jews’ language, are unaware that the song of Zion is about vengeance on the captors? A completely ironic situation. Hickmansr (talk) 05:20, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Placement in the Roman psalter
There is no evidence cited for the claim that the Benedictine psalter influenced the placement in the Roman psalter. The sentence should be modified to simply reflect that the psalm is on the same day of the week in both. Johnnygoesmarchinghome (talk) 02:00, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
