■ As per the previous post, just like we sing together in the morning, it is "a moment to gather myself". We start davening before we start davening! If I don't have a good Psukei Dzimra, then I won't feel as 'gathered' for my Shema and Shmone Esrei.
■ לזמר also means to 'prune', eg like a gardener. to set new boundaries and to make it look presentable and pruning just one plant has to be relative to the whole garden. Some things are bigger or smaller, some left alone and some need attention and care, watering and not watering, etc. Pruning is also sometimes necessary in order to have a tree grow, or make more blossoms.
