The metering for the two options (omitting or including the article) is neutral. If the article is not original, then the meter of 4a/4b is 7/6, respectively; if the article is original, then the meter of 4a/4b is 7/7, respectively. The difference between these metrical options is so minimal that one could envision either that (a) an early monarchy Psalmist (at the time of David) could have been comfortable without the article, or (b) a later Psalmist or redactor (possibly a redactor at the time of Ezra, given that the article is in the LXX 2 ) could have added the article to bring about that precise balance. Given what seems to be a virtual tie between options, in this paper I opt for the MT (I adopt in this paper that the presumptive original text is the MT, thereby adopting the MT if all things seem to be equal), such that the article on ם יִ ַ֣ ַ מ ָּׁ ש הַ is original. 5a: .המגביהי The MT includes the article here.
