The Psalms of Solomon
described in the volume, no text in the public-domain sources
Eighteen psalms, composed in Hebrew in the mid-first century BCE and surviving in Greek and Syriac, written from a circle sharply critical of the Hasmonean rulers. Psalms 2, 8, and 17 respond directly to Pompey's capture of Jerusalem in 63 BCE, which they read as divine punishment of illegitimate priest-kings, and to Pompey's own death in Egypt in 48. Psalm 17 is the most important single text: it prays for a Davidic king, called there the Lord Messiah, who will purge Jerusalem of foreign rulers, gather the tribes, judge with wisdom, and rule without relying on horse or army. It is the fullest pre-Christian portrait of a Davidic messiah that survives. In no canon, though it appears in the table of contents of the fifth-century Codex Alexandrinus.
Text not reproduced here: the accessible modern English translations are in copyright, and the public domain versions of Ryle and James (1891) and Gray (1913) exist only as page scans interleaved with Greek text and commentary, which cannot be extracted cleanly. Both are freely readable at archive.org.
