Has Psalm 156 Been Found?

Meer over het boek

The discovery of Psalm 156, found in a medieval copy from the Cairo Genizah, reveals a significant addition to the known Psalms attributed to David. Unlike the familiar 150 Psalms, this extensive composition offers visions and insights into David's thoughts, paralleling the length of Psalm 119. Its existence, alongside other early Jewish texts, provides a fresh perspective on the creative landscape of Second Temple Judaism, expanding the understanding of biblical literature beyond the traditional Masoretic Psalter.
