This begs the question [assuming that is what the superscription
means, which is arguable]: why would this song be so fitting for
Shabbos, if its content is totally unrelated? Because the weekly
Shabbos is a symbol for the Eternal Shabbos, which is in turn
connected to the theme of the psalm. One way or another, you will come
back to the maleability of the notion yom, whether as a stand alone
word, or as the compound noun Yom haShabbat.
