The only question I have concerning your view regards Psalm 137. I give full authority to the titles of the Psalms, and to 2 Chronicles 29:30 (they both figure largely in my own argument for EP); but just as Psalm 90, by its title, clearly predates the Davidic period, I cannot help but see Psalm 137, by its internal testimony, as antedating the Davidic period, and written probably during the Babylonian exile.
