[Avodah] Ledovid in German Siddurim

[Arie Folger]

Rabbotai,

I have to issue a clarification: As RRW pointed out, Ps. XXVII is only in the 
newer Rödelheim. This morning, I checked the Avodat Yisrael (Baer) and 
indeed, no such thing there, I happily stand corrected.

Interestingly, this morning I heard for the first time how late the inclusion 
of Ps.XXVII in Basel was. It happened merely a few decades ago. Some wanted 
to say it and others rightly said it wasn't our minhag. A compromise was 
reached (one I never understood 'till today): Ps.XXVII is said on weekdays, 
but Shabbat & Yom Tov.

Now another data point: I checked the Ashkenaz version of Rav Ya'aqov Emden's 
siddur, and it has Ps. XXVII, too. However, that is *not* the first edition. 
Does anone have access to the first edition to check?
