I honestly do not see repetition here so much as progressive thought and realization of his own condition in light of the law

My personal approach, is to appreciate the depth and the almost painful realization in this man's soul of God's holiness and his incapability to complete the requirements to look God full in the face and say 'I am worthy'. we are never worthy in keeping what cannot be kept. we are only worthy in Christ

the appeal for 'salvation' in the Psalm, is to God's character, not his own character

I can't see a progression

how about making an outline or summary of each section so I can see what you're seeing?

my summary is
the psalmist has ups and downs
the psalmist loves God's law
 
And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. Exodus 24:12
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. Exodus 32:15

And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. Exodus 32:16

And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. Exodus 34:28

It is kinda hard to write the written spoken word until you learn to write...

"Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments" Ps 119:6

"... O let me not wander from thy commandments." Ps 119:10

"Make me to go in the path of thy commandments;..." Ps 119:35

"And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved." Ps 119:47

"My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved;" Ps 119:48

"... for I will keep the commandments of my God." Ps 119:115

"Therefore I love thy commandments above gold;..." Ps 119:127

So where do you find these in Exodus 20 or Dueteronomy 5?

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mark 12:29-30

So which verse in either Exodus 20 or Dueteronomy 5 contains the first commandment according to Jesus?

After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; Jer 31:33

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
