I think the Friedmans' book addresses these questions.  It devotes
about 3 pages to the "Psalm 46" question.  As a whole, the book 
examines and debunks lots of purported codes, ciphers, and steganographic
systems allegedly found in Shakespeare.  In many cases, the authors
use the alleged "systems" to "prove" exactly the opposite of what the
proponents claimed (e.g., that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, that Bacon
wrote Shakespeare, that Queen Elizabeth wrote Shakespeare, that Hitler
wrote Shakespeare....), thus proving that the "systems" are invalid
(Shakespeare in, garbage out).
