I love that Psalm, especially with the 'refrain' being the congregation. (I think it was originally used in that way, although it may have been the high priest reading off the top lines, with the rest of the priests responding. Our MB hymnals had responsive readings in the back, and we often used them.)

What context or activity?
Chores?
Conversations?
"Religious activity", specifically in song. I just get tired of it, and thought I'd ask here.
I feel your pain. When the same song is sung Every.Single.Sunday because it’s the song leader’s favorite. It’s gotten to be an ear worm like that song Small World. I predict someone is going to say something to the song leader soon. It might be me.
This is a modern song, and at one point they repeat the exact same 5 word phrase over and over one after the other, eight times according to my count. There's another song that got up to 12 times in a row.

I guess it isn't endless then.

Catholics are the all-time world champions when it comes to endless repetition.
