each verse is, "Praise Yahweh, and praise his name for ever and
ever."

This is for a memorial… (Psalms
145 DSS 11Q5)
Jesus of the NT said to the
Jews not to pray in repetitions as the pagans do. The very word of David
inspired by God according to the Jews has a whole chapter with repetition. what
does that tell you?
seems like Jesus of the NT was comparing the
book of Psalms to Pagans rituals.
