Tom:
As I understand the incorporation of this psalm into
liturgical usage, the Irish church practice was to include this psalm
in the office for the dead,(some sources say as a processional), as
well as a post-Gospel psalm in the commemorations of those who
unjustly suffered from the religious persecution. Possible to likely
that Wilde would have heard it proclaimed in Latin at funerals he
might have attended.
