This "article" (if you can call it that) does not meet G1 or A1. However, it is not at all readable, and the words are compacted together so much that I can't make head or tail of it. It's not gibberish, though, because it does mention psalms and quotes. If somebody could rewrite this article to make sense, that would be great. Thank you. --Stay safe,

Delete. No idea what this is, might be some poem or essay, in which case deletable per
WP:NOTESSAY or
WP:OR. For those who are unaware, there's a discussion on this article
here. This, to me, is a classic example of an article which (I believe) most see as un-encyclopedic, yet (strictly speaking) not caught by any of our CSD criteria. --

Delete or redirect to
Harp#Origin which, unlike the present article, contains referenced text about the title subject. The article as it stands appears to be an
WP:OR synthesis of psalm texts and speculation. Nothing there is worth preserving by merger. (CSD A10 might be possible?)

Redirect per AllyD or delete (I know! We can move it to userspace and then U5 it! Genius! ...please don't actually do that).
WP:NOTWEBHOST applies (but not in userspace or else I'd U5 it in an instant), appears to be a poem, song, essay or something like that. The suggested redirect makes sense to me - not a super likely search term, but plausible.

Delete It's a poem/song lyric, not an encyclopedia article. There ought to be a CSD for "not an encyclopedia article or anything which could plausibly become one". Can we invoke
WP:SNOW to close this AfD and avoid this stuff cluttering up the encyclopedia any longer?

Comment The entire text after a rather garbled introductory section is a set of rhyming couplets:
Well it purports to tell the story of how the harp originated, albeit unsourced! And we need to find some grounds to get rid of something so completely unencyclopedic. But copyvio seems another worthwhile approach.
