	Psalms of Solomon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 17th of the 18 Psalms has a similarity to Psalm 72 from the Book of Psalms, which claims attribution to Solomon, and hence may be the reason that the Psalms of Solomon have their name.
		The Psalms of Solomon are found in a Greek translation from a lost Hebrew or Aramaic original, probably dating from the first or second century BCE.
		Politically, the Psalms of Solomon are anti-Maccabee, and some psalms in the collection show a clear awareness of the Roman conquest of Jerusalem under Pompey in 63BC, metaphorically treating him as a dragon who had been sent by God to punish the Maccabees.

		Because the community of the Psalms of Solomon chose to stay in Jerusalem during Pompey's siege, it is likely that their belief that daily suffering atoned for sins required them to remain in the city and suffer at the hands of its foreign conquerors and their political enemies (Ps.

	Psalms of Solomon
		If Psalms of Solomon is Pharisaic in origin, “the righteous” or “the devout” should be interpreted as the Pharisees, whereas the “wicked” are their opponents, which would include the Hasmoneans and their supporters as well as the pro-Hasmonean Sadducees.
		In general, the purpose of the composition of Psalms of Solomon is to give expression to the views of Pharisaism of the first century BCE; thus, these texts represent the Pharisees' critique of political events and Pharisaic theological self-understanding from the first century BCE.
		Several of the Psalms of Solomon (2, 7, 8, 17) interpret Pompey's entrance into Jerusalem, resulting in the de facto end of the Hasmonean dynassty, as the discipline of God on the nation, in particular the Hasmonean religious and civil administration.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Psalms of Solomon
		Lacantius is clearly citing a Latin translation of the Odes of Solomon, done by the beginning of the fourth century A.D. The Sahidic "Pistis Sophia", a Gnostic work of the Copts of the latter part of the third century, uses the "Odes of Solomon" as canonical Scripture.
		The Syriac manuscript of the odes is of paper probably three or four hundred years old, containing the "Psalms of Solomon", the odes (incomplete in the beginning and the end), coarsely written, pointed here and there in the Nestorian manner, and at times with the Jacobite vowels.
		This opinion is warranted by the continue grouping of the odes with the "Psalms of Solomon", the constant references of them to Solomon as author, and the Semitic spirit which equally permeates both sets of lyrics.

	Abstract: The Psalms of Solomon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The status of the Psalms of Solomon as a pseudepigraphon are contemplated especially within criteria set out by Dr. Davila in a lecture on the subject.
		The social context of the Psalms of Solomon was considered, mainly with reference to the two traditional options: the Pharisees and the Essenes.
		It is concluded however that the psalms are as likely to have been compiled/written by another breakaway group as either of these two, and that just because these are the groups we know most of it is not necessary that they are responsible for this text.

	PURPOSE AND MOTIFS OF PSALMS OF SOLOMON
		Such a view often regards the canonical Psalm 72 as a paradigm by which the Psalms of Solomon were composed.
		Psalm 72 carries the superscription "A Psalm of Solomon." A comparison of the first four verses of Psalm 72 will reveal that they are thematically comparable to the Psalms of Solomon.
		In other words, the rhetorical function of these psalms is to encourage the entire cultic community to continue to embrace their cultic practices because this is what maintains their identity.

	NT RELEVANCE OF PSALMS OF SOLOMON
		Two other observations from the Psalms of Solomon that make an impact upon one's understanding of the New Testament are the matter of the Pharisees-Sadducee distinctions and also the doctrinal area of Christology.
		The dualism of the "righteous" and the "sinner" that pervades these psalms have been thought (since Wellhausen) to be a recognition of the doctrinal divide between the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
		The psalms, in this case, are written from the perspective of the "righteous" Pharisees and the opponents are the Sadducees.

		The spirit of these psalms is one of great moral earnestness and righteousness, but it is the righteousness of the Pharisees, consisting in the observance of the legal traditions and ceremonial law.
		The Psalms of Solomon are of value in illustrating the religious views and attitudes of the Pharisees in the age of Our Lord.
		Its title reads: "This psalm was written by David himself in addition to the number, when he had fought with Goliath." It is based on various passages in the Old Testament, and there is no evidence that it was ever written in Hebrew.
