Ledovid 27 AIUI is only about 250-300 years old as an addition anyway

FWIW Mizomr Shir #30  before Baruch She'amar dates from the time of Arizal
circa 1560 and was meant to start with  Aromimcha.  The first passuk was
intended by the Arizal to be omitted. It's use on hanukkah is probably older
- maybe he era of the Tur or earlier.

and FWIW Shri Mizmor L'asaf 83 is in older editions of the Koren Siddur,
probably because D. Goldshmidt was a yekke
