Appendix II Contents of the Psalms

(p. 630) (p. 631)

Scrolls and Related Manuscripts

Peter W. Flint

For each entry, the Psalms passage is followed by an abbreviated title for the relevant
scroll and its cave number. Apocryphal Psalms and other compositions that are not found
in the Masoretic Psalter appear at the end of the listing. Four types of sigla may be noted:

X = Additional verse or text not present in the Masoretic Psalter; for example, 33:1–7,
X, 8–18 in 4QPsq
→ = Verses follow directly with no break; for example, 145:1–7, 13 → X → 14–21 → X
(plus refrain) in 11QPsa
(?) = Written to the left, denotes the entry is not certain; for example, (?)99:1–2, 5 in
4QPsk
(?) = Written to the right, denotes a verse or wording is not sure: for example, 49:6(?),
9–12, 15, 17 in 4QPsj.

This appendix also identifies passages from the Psalms that are quoted in key nonbiblical
scrolls found in the Judaean Desert (almost always Qumran). The topic of quotations of,
and allusions, to the Psalms in the nonbiblical scrolls requires more than one monograph
(see the extensive list in Lange and Weigold 2011: 163–78). Neverheless, it is appropriate
to include here Psalms material that is clearly quoted or excerpted in key nonbiblical
texts. The following texts were consulted:

1Q16 (Pesher Psalms)

1QHa (Hodayot or Thanksgiving Hymns)

4Q171 (Pesher Psalmsa)
