Sorry to burst your bubble but Psalms isn't a book of predictions like Revelations it was a book of songs so this is false all of what you have proposed no matter how well it was constructed.

It's not a type of "chosen" that I would want.
That's mostly because Yahweh is a prick.

Romans 9:6: "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel"
Galatians 3:26-29: "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
And even Jesus Himself said in the book of Mark:
Mark 12:1-12, "And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way."
Romans 2:28-29: "28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh. 29But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."
Acts 13:45-46 "45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles."
The nation of Israel were the first to have the promise offered to them, but they constantly went astray, until their probation ended with the stoning of Stephen in the book of Acts, 3 years after Jesus was crucified (Acts 7:55-60). The nation of Israel has nothing to do with the prophecies of today. True Christians are modern-day Israel, not the nation of Israel. Common sense would tell anyone that nobody can be the chosen people of God when they openly deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Messiah, the Savior of the world.

Just wanted to say OP,
That is how you make a thread.
I applaud your effort, no matter the outcome of the 13th to 15th.
Glad to see a thread with actual substance and research and depth.

Seriously - if you don't have anything useful or tactful or meaningful to say - why say anything at all?
