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

[SBA]

From: "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 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 wonder if I have just made an earth-shaking discovery on this matter..

See the Baal Taturim in this week's Parsha  - Pasuk 30:6, dh: 'Es Levovcho
ve'es Levav' - "Roshei Teivos Elul..." 
Then it continues on: "Lulei" (which no doubt refers to "Lulei He'emanti" 
in LeDovid Hashem Ori Veyishi") "oysios Elul - she'mi'Elul vo'eilach
charadti neged Hashem.."

The Baal HaTurim lived approx 300 years before Shabsi Zvi yemach shemoy.

Whaddya think??
