[Avodah] Reciting l'Dovid Hashem Ori...

[kennethgmiller at juno.com]

In this whole thread, I have not noticed anything about WHY some do not have this minhag, other than the idea that it was started by followers of Shabbetai Tzvi.

Are there any other reasons? I mean, it's just a chapter of Tehillim; I can't imagine anyone saying that there's anything objectionable about the content!

I concede that (from some perspectives) the objectionable source could be enough of a reason to avoid it. It is also quite possible that in some communities the minhag simply didn't "catch on" and become popular.

I'm just wondering if I've exhausted the possibilities, or if there's another reason why some communities don't say it, which somehow escaped my imagination. Thanks.
