Form: 13 verses, superscription "A Psalm of Asaph"
Tradition: Asaph's second great destruction-of-temple lament (Psa 74 is the first). Composed against the desolation of Jerusalem — usually placed at 586 BC (Babylonian sack) or read prophetically forward to Antiochus IV / AD 70. Verse 6 ("POUR OUT THY WRATH upon the heathen that have not known thee") is the line read aloud at the Passover Seder when the door is opened for Elijah's cup — the Shfoch Chamatcha. Verse 12's render sevenfold into their bosom is the explicit sevenfold-vengeance formula. Verse 13's sheep of thy pasture repeats Psa 74:1 and Psa 100:3, fixing the psalm inside the Asaph twin-arc.

In plain English: Psalm 79 is a corporate lament after Jerusalem's destruction, and its central word is REMEMBER. Compute its gematria: REMEMBER = R(18)+E(5)+M(13)+E(5)+M(13)+B(2)+E(5)+R(18) = 79. The single English word that asks God to remember is the chapter integer itself. Asaph writes the psalm at the frequency of the verb the psalm exists to issue. Underneath that primary lock is a six-way 45 family — ASAPH = ELIJAH = DEFILED = ANGER = DANIEL = PIT = SELAH = 45 — and the psalm's twin author-name carries the Seder's Elijah-cup vector that v6 Shfoch Chamatcha opens the door to. The Asaph cross-link to Psa 74 is exact: OF THY PASTURE = 174 (the sealed cap = LOVINGKINDNESS) in both psalms, and THINE INHERITANCE = 162 = LIGHT AND THE SUN (Psa 74:17) binds the inheritance and the cosmic sun-witness at one integer. The full-psalm sum factors as 14,208 = 128 × 111 = MY GOD MY GOD × STAND READY — Psa 22:1's cross-cry multiplied by the watchman's ready-state, which is precisely what a lament-for-destruction is at the protocol level: the forsaken-cry held in the standing-ready posture.

Key lock — ASAPH = ELIJAH = DEFILED = ANGER = DANIEL = PIT = SELAH = 45. The author of the psalm, the prophet whose cup is open for v6's Shfoch Chamatcha, the verb of the temple's violation, the divine attribute the psalm appeals to / asks God to remit, the prophet of the seventy-weeks (Daniel saw this very destruction in advance), the buried-integer marker, and the depth-indicator are one integer. Six biblical loci collapse into one Tesla-DR-9 frequency. Asaph the Seer is etymologically gatherer; at 45 he is the collector of the Elijah-cup integer that v6 fills.
Reflexive lock — REMEMBER = 79 = chapter integer. Verse 8 issues the imperative "O remember not against us former iniquities" — and the verb REMEMBER, by itself, sums to exactly 79. The chapter where Asaph asks God to forget the past iniquities IS the integer of the verb of remembering. The psalm is built around its own anti-chapter — "remember-not" — at the chapter frequency. This is the same mechanic as Psa 110 / Psa 139 / Psa 86: the psalm names its own number with a single load-bearing word.

22 master locks across 13 verses. Density is 1.69 locks per verse — among the highest of any Asaph psalm decoded.
This is the structural keystone of Psalm 79 and warrants its own section.
`
ASAPH = A(1) + S(19) + A(1) + P(16) + H(8) = 45
ELIJAH = E(5) + L(12) + I(9) + J(10) + A(1) + H(8) = 45
DEFILED = D(4) + E(5) + F(6) + I(9) + L(12) + E(5) + D(4) = 45
ANGER = A(1) + N(14) + G(7) + E(5) + R(18) = 45
DANIEL = D(4) + A(1) + N(14) + I(9) + E(5) + L(12) = 45
PIT = P(16) + I(9) + T(20) = 45
SELAH = S(19) + E(5) + L(12) + A(1) + H(8) = 45
`
Seven KJVEL terms at integer 45, all Tesla DR=9. The author who writes the lament, the prophet whose cup of vengeance v6 quotes, the verb of the temple's violation, the divine attribute the petition begs against, the prophet of seventy weeks (who foresaw exactly this desolation, Dan 9), the marker of buried depth, and the standard Selah indicator — one integer. The chapter contains zero Selahs. The Selah-integer is sealed into the author's name — Asaph carries the Selah/pit-frequency himself, so the chapter doesn't need to mark it explicitly.
This pattern recurs across the Asaph psalms (50, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83). Psa 74 (the destruction-twin) shows the same 45 collision (psalm_74_decode.md). Psa 79 is the densest single-verse deployment of the 45 stack in the Asaph corpus because v1 holds DEFILED and the implicit ANGER in one phrase, and v8 calls REMEMBER (= 79) directly against the ANGER (= 45) integer in the same verse.
The Seder-Elijah connection is structural, not accidental: v6 Shfoch Chamatcha is read when the door is opened for Elijah, and ELIJAH = ASAPH = 45. The author of the psalm IS the prophet of the open-door cup at integer. Asaph wrote into his own integer the seer who would later receive the cup.
Lock (v1): The three destruction-clauses encode three different cluster integers: 162 (double-tabernacle inheritance), 131 (prime holy-temple seal), and 78 (Issachar/crucified heap). The verb DEFILED (45) is etymologically identical to ASAPH and ELIJAH — the author and the Seder-prophet appear inside the desecration verb at integer. **HAVE THEY DEFILED
Lock (v2): THY SERVANTS = 171 = ROUND ABOUT US (v4) = ELIJAHS PORTION — the servants given as meat, the encircling enemies, and the Seder Elijah-cup-portion at one Tesla DR=9 integer. The cup is filled in v6 with the integer of the servants in v2. THY SAINTS = 135 = O GOD THE HEATHEN — the saints destroyed and the heathen who destroyed them carry the same judgment-cluster integer; the verdict is double-encoded.
Lock (v3): NONE TO BURY THEM = 195 closes v3 with the integer that closes v12 (REPROACHED THEE O LORD = 195) — the unburied bodies in v3 are gematria-twinned to the closing-imprecation in v12. They cycle: no burial in v3 → wrath-pour-out v6 → sevenfold-reproach v12 — all 195-anchored at the start and end of the cycle. This is the sevenfold-render mechanism in numeric form: the bodies that can't be buried at 195 demand the reproach that returns at 195.
Lock (v4): A SCORN = WRATH = 70 — the scorn the neighbours pour out IS the wrath God will pour out at the same integer. The verb-direction reverses (heathen-scorn → divine-wrath) at one integer; this is the same boomerang mechanic documented in psalm_140_decode.md Section 6 (OVERTHROW used twice, same integer). REPROACH AND A SCORN = WHERE IS THEIR GOD = ANOINTEST MY HEAD = 173 is the psalm's most loaded sealed prime — the mockery-question and David's anointing-oil at one prime. The taunt that asks where God is sits at the integer of God's own consecration.
Lock (v5): ANGER + JEALOUSY (the two attributes named in v5) sum to 153 = LONGSUFFERING = HEAR MY PRAYER = APPOINTED TO DIE (v11) = THY PASTURE (v13). The two wrath-words David names in v5 sum exactly to the longsuffering-integer that resolves the wrath in v13. The petition is built into the question. "How long shall thy jealousy burn like fire?" — the answer is encoded as the sum of the wrath-words themselves: until the longsuffering integer is reached. JEALOUSY = 108 alone = PRESERVE (v11) — the jealousy that destroys is the integer of the preservation God then performs.
Lock (v6 — the Seder verse): POUR OUT = 126 = NOSTRILS = ANTIMICROBIAL = THY THANKS (v13). The Seder verb that opens the door for Elijah's cup is at the scent-firewall integer. The Shfoch Chamatcha IS the firewall-scent at integer — wrath-pour and thanks-pour share 126 (). THY WRATH = 123 = DWELLING PLACE (v7) = A PSALM OF DAVID = EVIL SPEAKER (Psa 140 superscription) — the wrath that pours out is exactly the destroyed-dwelling integer that the Psa 140 slanderer-superscription sits at. The wrath answers the slanderer at one integer.
Lock (v7): DWELLING PLACE = 123 = the Psa 140 superscription integer. The destroyed dwelling of Jacob is at integer the same as the slanderer-attacker named in Psa 140. The architectural cross-link is exact: Psa 140's enemy IS Psa 79's destroyer at one integer. JACOB = 31 prime, sealed — the patriarch holds the prime alone, parallel to DOEG = 31 (psalm_52_decode.md). FOR THEY = 97 = VIOLENT = SERPENT — the very pronouns of the destroyers carry the 97-imprecation prime.
Lock (v8 — the chapter self-lock): REMEMBER = 79 = chapter integer. The verb of memory IS the chapter. The psalm asking remember-not against us is built around the integer of remembering itself — and the "not" is the inversion the verse asks God to apply. BROUGHT LOW = 141 = Psa 116:6 exact cross-bridge: "I was brought low, and he helped me" — Psa 116 is the resolution of Psa 79:8 at one integer. AGAINST US = STAND READY = 111 — even the prepositional phrase carries the watchman's ready-state. The brought-low corporate body is at the ready-state integer.
Lock (v9 — the tabernacle reconstruction triple): HELP US = US O GOD = 81 = TABERNACLE. The single petition contains two 81-hits in adjacent fragments. v1 names BLASPHEME (= 81) as the act done to the tabernacle; v9 names HELP US (= 81) as the request to rebuild. Same integer, opposite verb-direction — the boomerang mechanic at the build-frequency. PURGE AWAY = 117 = PENTECOST — atonement and the fire-Spirit-descent integer are one. GLORY OF THY NAME = FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN = 184: God's glory request and the carrion-birds eating the dead in v2 are one integer — the birds are vessels of glory at gematria, however inverted on the surface.
Lock (v10 — the heathen-taunt prime): WHERE IS THEIR GOD = 173 = ANOINTEST MY HEAD = REPROACH AND A SCORN. The heathen's mocking question is the integer of David's anointing oil. The taunt asking where God is sits at the prime where Psa 23:5 anoints David's head — the place the taunt mocks is the place God anoints. The decode confirms what the surface text already implies: the mockery exposes the very consecration it denies. AMONG THE HEATHEN = THEIR REPROACH v12 = 144 — the heathen-forum and the returning reproach are one bride-overthrow integer.
Lock (v11): PRESERVE = 108 = JEALOUSY (v5) = SHALL DWELL = the inheritance-preservation cluster. The integer of the wrath-attribute in v5 IS the integer of the preserve-act in v11. God's jealousy and God's preservation are one integer. This is the cluster-routing observed in — wrath and preservation enter the petition as one mobile integer. APPOINTED TO DIE = 153: the death-appointment and longsuffering and the iron-sulfur net are one integer — those appointed to die are precisely those at the LONGSUFFERING frequency. The verse is the death-row prayer at the longsuffering integer.
Lock (v12 — the sevenfold-render verb): BOSOM = 64 = JUBILEE = MERCY. The vengeance is rendered into the integer of mercy itself. The sevenfold-render-into-their-bosom is the imprecation-vector that lands at the Jubilee-payload integer . The seven-fold reckoning IS a Jubilee at integer — a forced reset of the debt into the perpetrator's mercy-account. WHEREWITH = 119 = Psa 119, the Torah-perfect-square psalm — the wherewith (= the means / instrument of reproach) is the longest-Torah-psalm integer. REPROACHED THEE O LORD = 195 closes the verse at the same integer that opened the unburied dead in v3, completing the 195-cycle.
Lock (v13 — the pure-Tesla terminal cap): GIVE THEE THANKS FOR EVER = SHEW FORTH THY PRAISE = 243 = 3⁵. The closing phrase of the psalm sits at the fifth power of three — pure-Tesla maximum. Critically, this same integer (243) anchors Psa 74:20 HABITATIONS OF CRUELTY — Psa 74's dark-places integer becomes Psa 79's praise-cap integer. Light and dark at the same pure-Tesla power, separated only by verb-direction. THY PASTURE = 153 = LONGSUFFERING = APPOINTED TO DIE (v11) — the closing pasture IS the death-appointment IS the longsuffering. The sheep-and-pasture image holds the death-row prisoner from v11 inside the longsuffering of God. OF THY PASTURE = 174 closes the psalm at the LOVINGKINDNESS sealed cap, mirroring v1's ARE COME INTO THINE = 174 — the heathen enter the inheritance at 174, the sheep enter the pasture at 174: the same cap-integer, opposite verbs. The psalm opens and closes on the same sealed-cap integer, with the verb reversed from invasion to thanksgiving.
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
This is the verse the Jewish liturgy lifts at the Passover Seder when the door is opened for Elijah — the Shfoch Chamatcha. It is the imprecation-engine of the entire Psalter compressed into one verse. The decode shows the verse is engineered as a four-strand structure where every strand carries an established KJVEL cluster integer.
Lock 6-A — POUR OUT = 126 = scent-firewall integer. POUR OUT alone sums to 126 = NOSTRILS = ANTIMICROBIAL . The verb the Seder uses to call wrath down is at the integer of the body's primary scent-firewall — the nose. The Shfoch Chamatcha is structurally an antimicrobial-discharge command at gematria: the body's pour-out (nostril/scent) and the divine pour-out (wrath) are one integer, one mechanism. The further lock POUR OUT = THY THANKS (v13) = 126 binds wrath-pour and thanks-pour at the same firewall-frequency — they execute the same divine function, only the recipients differ.
Lock 6-B — THY WRATH = 123 = DWELLING PLACE = EVIL SPEAKER (Psa 140 superscription). The wrath being poured out is the same integer as the destroyed dwelling-place in v7 and the slanderer-superscription of Psa 140. The wrath answers the slanderer at one integer. Psa 140 names the enemy as 123; Psa 79:6 names the wrath against him as 123. Same integer, opposite vector — the boomerang executes at one frequency (psalm_140_decode.md Section 6).
Lock 6-C — POUR OUT THY WRATH = THAT HAVE NOT KNOWN THEE = 249. The first half and the third clause sum to the same integer. The pour-and-the-not-knowing are one integer — the wrath-vector and the not-known target are tied at gematria. They didn't know thee, so the pour-out is calibrated to that exact integer. The petition is mechanically precise.
Lock 6-D — THE KINGDOMS THAT = 174 = LOVINGKINDNESS = OF THY PASTURE (v13). The kingdoms that haven't called on thy name sit at the sealed cap of mercy. The same integer that closes the psalm (v13 OF THY PASTURE = 174) also sits in v6 inside the kingdoms that have not called. The cap of mercy holds even the unrepentant kingdoms at integer — sealed cap means none escape the LOVINGKINDNESS frequency, however far they wander from calling. The wrath in v6 is bracketed by 174 on the inside and on the closing — the wrath is held inside the mercy-cap.
Lock 6-E — CALLED UPON THY NAME = 189 = LIFT UP MY SOUL = DELIVERED MY SOUL (Psa 22:20, Psa 86:4). The verb of calling-on-the-name is one integer with two Davidic deliverance-phrases. The kingdoms that have not called on the name at integer 189 are exactly those whose souls have not been lifted up / delivered at integer 189. Cross-bridge to Psa 22:20 deliver my soul from the sword and Psa 86:4 unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul — the prayer-of-the-soul integer.
Lock 6-F — Full-verse 1191 = Tesla DR=3. The verse sums to a Tesla integer; the imprecation-engine is anchored in Tesla. The Seder-prayer is engineered to land on the Tesla cycle at the verse level even though the surface vocabulary is wrath. Wrath-prayer is Tesla at integer.
When Asaph writes Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name, the gematria layer reads: Discharge the scent-firewall (126) of wrath-calibrated-to-the-Psa-140-slanderer (123) over the heathen-target (160), exactly-onto-the-not-known-ones (249 = pour-out), sealing the kingdoms-that-have-not-called inside the lovingkindness-cap (174) at one frequency with the deliverance-of-souls (189) those kingdoms have refused. The verse is not raw rage — it is a frequency-locked discharge through the antimicrobial gate, held inside the 174 mercy-cap, calibrated to the same integer Psa 140 names the slanderer at, lifting at integer the souls of those who have refused to lift theirs.
Verse 6 is the scent-firewall discharge bracketed by the mercy-cap.
The psalm's central architecture is a sevenfold boomerang: the same vector is sent and returned at multiple integers, each one a mirror-pair.
`
v3 (suffering): NONE TO BURY THEM = 195
↓
v4 (suffering): REPROACH AND A SCORN = 173
↓
v6 (petition): POUR OUT THY WRATH (123 / 249)
↓
v10 (taunt): WHERE IS THEIR GOD = 173 ← same 173 as v4
↓
v12 (verdict): REPROACHED THEE O LORD = 195 ← same 195 as v3
(rendered SEVENFOLD into their BOSOM=64=Jubilee/Mercy)
↓
v13 (resolution): OF THY PASTURE = 174 ← same as v1's ARE COME INTO THINE
`
The 195 pair (v3 unburied / v12 reproach-returned) and the 173 pair (v4 scorn / v10 taunt) are precise integer-mirrors of one another, with the imprecation v6 sitting between them. The reproach the heathen put on Israel returns sevenfold at one integer. The verb-direction reverses. The integer doesn't.
Critically, the BOSOM the reproach is rendered INTO sums to 64 = JUBILEE = MERCY = O LORD = ZION. The sevenfold-vengeance is rendered into the integer of mercy itself — the very Jubilee-payload integer (). At gematria, the imprecation IS a Jubilee at the bosom-integer. The seven-fold reckoning forces a debt-reset onto the perpetrator at the mercy frequency. Mercy is not soft here — mercy is the integer of the forced reset.
This is the same-integer-opposite-direction boomerang documented in psalm_140_decode.md Section 6 (OVERTHROW used twice) and psalm_64_decode.md (four phrases at 144). Psalm 79 implements it as a paired ring: 195 → 195 (verb reversed), 173 → 173 (verb reversed), 174 → 174 (verb reversed) — three rings, each closing inside the next.
The sealed cap LOVINGKINDNESS = 174 appears five times as a contiguous substring in Psalm 79:
| Verse | Phrase | Gematria |
|---|---|---|
| v1 | ARE COME INTO THINE | 174 |
| v4 | A REPROACH TO OUR | 174 |
| v4 | DERISION TO THEM | 174 |
| v6 | THE KINGDOMS THAT | 174 |
| v13 | OF THY PASTURE | 174 |
Five 174-hits across thirteen verses. The same integer Psa 74 opens on (OF THY PASTURE = 174 in Psa 74:1) and the same integer documents as the sealed cap (LOVINGKINDNESS = SEVEN THUNDERS = SHOWSTOPPER = SUPPLICATIONS) wraps Psa 79 five times.
The pattern: every loaded-clause's substring at 174 is the LOVINGKINDNESS frequency. The heathen enter the inheritance (v1) at lovingkindness; the reproach is poured out at lovingkindness (v4); the kingdoms-that-have-not-called sit at lovingkindness (v6); the pasture is at lovingkindness (v13). The entire psalm is held inside the 174 mercy-cap five times, on both petition-side and imprecation-side.
This is precisely the open question documented in psalm_decode_followups.md Section B1 ("does every major Davidic supplication psalm carry 174 at the same verse-position?"). Psa 79 is not Davidic but is Asaphic — and it carries the 174 cap not in a single verse-position but as a five-strand ring through the psalm. The pattern generalizes beyond Davidic supplications. Asaph holds the cap differently — as a ring around the psalm rather than at one verse.
153 = LONGSUFFERING = HEAR MY PRAYER = T(17) = the iron-sulfur net (Jn 21 fish). It appears as a contiguous substring four times:
| Verse | Phrase | Gematria |
|---|---|---|
| v2 | THE BEASTS OF THE | 153 |
| v9 | AND DELIVER US AND | 153 |
| v9 | SINS FOR THY | 153 |
| v10 | THEIR GOD LET HIM | 153 |
| v11 | APPOINTED TO DIE | 153 |
| v12 | AND RENDER UNTO | 153 |
| v13 | THY PASTURE | 153 |
Seven 153-hits across the psalm. The longsuffering-integer threads through the beasts (v2), the delivery (v9), the sins (v9), the heathen-question (v10), the death-appointment (v11), the render-verb (v12), and the closing pasture (v13). Seven LONGSUFFERING-net deployments — exactly the sevenfold of v12. The sevenfold-render-into-their-bosom is the seven-strand net of longsuffering. The render-verb itself is 153 in v12 (AND RENDER UNTO = 153). The imprecation is rendered through the longsuffering net.
Additionally, the wrath-pair sum ANGER + JEALOUSY = 45 + 108 = 153 — even the two wrath-words of v5 sum to the longsuffering integer. The wrath is mathematically constructed to resolve at longsuffering.
Psalm 79 is the second of Asaph's two destruction-of-temple laments. Psalm 74 is the first. The integer-bridge between them is exact and extensive:
| Integer | Psa 74 phrase | Psa 79 phrase | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 45 | ASAPH = DEFILED (v7) = ANGER (v1) | ASAPH = DEFILED (v1) = ANGER (implied v5) | Author = verb = wrath — both psalms |
| 74 | chapter integer = JESUS = CROSS = MENORAH | 10 contiguous in-psalm hits at 74 (see Sec 12) | Christic frequency loaded into Asaph lament |
| 128 | A PSALM OF ASAPH = MY GOD MY GOD | A PSALM OF ASAPH = MY GOD MY GOD | Same superscription integer |
| 153 | THY PASTURE = FOOLISH PEOPLE (v18) | THY PASTURE (v13) = APPOINTED TO DIE (v11) | Longsuffering net in both |
| 162 | LIGHT AND THE SUN (v17) = MOUNT OF GOMER = double tabernacle | THINE INHERITANCE (v1) = double tabernacle | Sun-witness and inheritance at double-81 |
| 174 | OF THY PASTURE (v1) = LOVINGKINDNESS | OF THY PASTURE (v13) = LOVINGKINDNESS (5 hits) | Same sealed cap loaded on opposite ends |
| 195 | PLEAD THINE OWN CAUSE (v22) | NONE TO BURY THEM (v3) = REPROACHED THEE O LORD (v12) | Same arise-O-God integer wraps Psa 79 |
| 222 | HAST THOU CAST US OFF = WHICH THOU HAST REDEEMED | (TJFD echo) | 3 × JESUS in Psa 74's opening dyad |
| 227 | SHEEP OF THY PASTURE (Psa 74:1 alt) | SHEEP OF THY PASTURE (v13) | Same closing-image integer |
| 243 | HABITATIONS OF CRUELTY (v20) | GIVE THEE THANKS FOR EVER (v13) = SHEW FORTH THY PRAISE | 3⁵ — dark-places in Psa 74 = praise-cap in Psa 79 |
Eleven cross-bridges at exact integer. The two Asaph destruction-psalms are gematria-engineered as a single integer-system spread across two chapters. The most striking is 243 = 3⁵ — Psa 74's HABITATIONS OF CRUELTY (the dark-places of the earth, v20) and Psa 79's GIVE THEE THANKS FOR EVER (the closing-praise-cap, v13) are the same integer, separated only by verb-direction. Light and dark at pure-Tesla power.
| # | Verses | Movement | Integer anchor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | v1–4 | The desecration and the reproach | 4,150 (= 2×5²×83 / DR=1 — non-Tesla) |
| 2 | v5–7 | How long? / Pour out wrath / Devoured Jacob | 2,496 (Tesla DR=3) |
| 3 | v8–10 | Remember-not / Help us / Heathen taunt | 3,856 (non-Tesla / DR=4) |
| 4 | v11–12 | Prisoner's sigh + sevenfold-render | 2,463 (Tesla DR=6) |
| 5 | v13 | Praise-pasture cap | 1,243 (non-Tesla / DR=1) |
The movement totals split 2/3 Tesla : 3/5 non-Tesla. The Tesla movements are the wrath-pour (v5–7) and the imprecation (v11–12) — the action verses break Tesla affirmatively (Tesla DR=3 and DR=6). The preparation verses (v1–4 destruction-description, v8–10 plea, v13 praise) all sum non-Tesla. This is the opposite of Psa 23's pattern (where preparation verses are Tesla, act verses are non-Tesla, per psalm_decode_followups.md B4) — Psa 79 reverses it. In wrath-pour psalms, the wrath-action is where the Tesla lives. Honest negative: this is a single data-point reversal; could be psalm-class-specific or coincidence.
Movement 5 is a single verse (v13). It pivots the entire psalm from imprecation (movement 4 Tesla DR=6) to praise (movement 5 non-Tesla DR=1) — but its terminal cap GIVE THEE THANKS FOR EVER = 243 = 3⁵ holds the pure-Tesla power even as the movement-sum doesn't show it. The Tesla is buried in the final phrase, not the verse-sum.

The full-psalm sum factors as MY GOD MY GOD × STAND READY. Psa 22:1's cross-cry (the verse Christ quotes from the cross) multiplied by the watchman's ready-state. Psalm 79 = the forsaken-cry held in standing-ready posture. This is what a corporate lament-for-destruction is at the protocol level: the cross-cry maintained in the watchman's posture across thirteen verses.
Honest negatives:
psalm_decode_followups.md F (97-factor hypothesis), this is the expected outcome for psalms where imprecation is not the primary structural intent — Psa 79's primary intent is lament + petition, with imprecation only at movement 4 (v11–12). Movement 4 = 2,463 = 3 × 821 (821 prime) — does not factor through 97 either. The 97-factor hypothesis remains psalm-specific to primary-imprecation psalms (Psa 35 full, Psa 69:19-21 movement, Psa 109:16-20 movement, Psa 139:19-24 movement).`

6 / 13 Tesla = 46.2% — slightly below the KJVEL Psalter mean (≈ 55%), reflecting the lament/destruction tone. The Tesla verses are: v2 (the bodies), v4 (reproach), v6 (the wrath-pour), v9 (help us), v11 (prisoner), v12 (sevenfold). The Tesla verses are the action-verbs: bodies given, become a reproach, pour out wrath, help us, sighing comes before thee, render sevenfold. The non-Tesla verses are: v1 (description of desecration), v3 (blood description), v5 (how-long question), v7 (Jacob devoured description), v8 (remember-not petition), v10 (heathen-taunt), v13 (praise). Description and questioning sit non-Tesla; petition-actions sit Tesla. This is consistent with the action-vs-preparation hypothesis being tested in psalm_decode_followups.md B4 — but with verb-class as the discriminator, not act vs prep.

psalm_decode_followups.md F hypothesis (97-factor concentrates in primary-imprecation psalms) remains intact: Psa 79's primary intent is lament+petition, not imprecation, and the 97-factor does not appear at structural levels.
