tefilla - Where do Ashrei's intro sentences in the liturgy before Psalm 145 (Ashrei) come from?


The sentences "Joyful are the inhabitants of Your House, constantly praising You. Joyful are the people for whom this is so" preface Ashrei. They aren't in the psalm that David wrote, 145, but a couple of siddurim mention they come from psalms "elsewhere". Anyone know?



Also wondering with all of the vigilance about referencing the Sages, why so loose in the liturgy about references to psalms? Neither of 2 Orthodox a conservative or a Sefardi siddur says exactly where those verses are from. Thanks.
