18 For thou, O LORD, art my praise, and in thee do I hope all the day.
19 Let my brothers rejoice with me and the house of my father, who are
astonished by thy graciousness……
20 [For e]ver I will rejoice in thee.
(trans. J. Sanders, The Dead Sea Psalms Scroll, 71)
APPENDIX 3
THE CONTENTS OF THE PSALMS SCROLLS AND
RELATED MANUSCRIPTS
For each entry, the Psalms passage indicated in column 1 is followed by
an abbreviated title for the relevant scroll (col. 2), and an alternative designation
(col. 3). Compositions not found in the Masoretic Psalter appear
at the end of the listing.
Two types of sigla are used in this appendix: (a) The sign X denotes
the presence of an additional word, verse, or section not present in the
Masoretic Psalter: for example, Ps 145:13, X, 14–21, X in col. 17 of
11QPs a (= 11Q5). (b) The sign (?) indicates that some doubt exists as to
the identification of a particular verse or reading. When it stands to the
left of an entry, this siglum denotes that the complete entity is not certain:
for instance, (?)99:1–2, 5 in 4QPs k (= 4Q92). When written to the right
of an entry, it indicates that only the specified quantity—usually a single
verse—is not certain: for example, 79:1(?), 2–3 in 4QTanh[ (= 4Q176).
