[Avodah] Shir HaMaalos Mimaamakim

... in his siddur Olas Rayah (R'iya?), RAYK states in the name of his father that one should recite "Mizmor Shir Chanukas l'David" before drinking tea in the morning before shacharis.  Assuming that RSZA and Rav Kook's father had the same source for this, I wonder what it is.  After all, the recital of this chapter of Tehillim before p'sukei d'zimra is of late origin.

I have read that this is because "Mizmor Shir Chanukas Habayit l'David" contains the phrase "Ma betza b'dami...etc." Since the issur to eat before davening is based on "lo tochal al hadam" "li tochal lifnei shehitpallaltem al damchem", saying this perek of T'hillim is appropriate before eating.
