The Odes and Psalms of Solomon in 2 vols.

The Psalms of Solomon are found in some editions of the Septuagint.

In Psalms of Solomon, the righteous will be raised and inherit to eternal life, whereas destruction awaits the wicked.

Psalms of Solomon (1st-century text)

Between internal features and correlations with other Jewish texts it is concluded that the Psalms of Solomon were also Jewish.

The expression treasure in heaven occurs in the Psalms of Solomon 9:9 which is decidedly Essenic in tone.

Unlike the Psalms of Solomon, however, Odes is much less clearly Jewish, and much more Christian in appearance.

Other books of wisdom poetry such as the Odes of Solomon and the Psalms of Solomon also bear his name.

The Psalms of Solomon were referenced in early Christian writings, but lost to modern scholars until a Greek manuscript was rediscovered in the 17th century.

Psalms of Solomon 8:10 XXV In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine.

The levels of traditional prominence for others, like Psalms 152-155 and the Psalms of Solomon of the Syriac churches, remain unclear.

Others, like the author of the Psalms of Solomon, stated that the Messiah was a charismatic teacher who would give the correct interpretation of Mosaic law, restore Israel, and judge mankind.

The 17th of the 18 psalms is similar to Psalm 72 which has traditionally been attributed to Solomon, and hence may be the reason that the Psalms of Solomon have their name.

Then the Psalms of Solomon (earlier Jewish religious poetry that is often bound with the later Odes) follow, until the beginning of Psalm 17:38 and the end of the manuscript has been lost.

There are also the Psalms of Solomon, which are a further 18 psalms of Jewish origin, likely originally written in Hebrew, but surviving only in Greek and Syriac translation.

There is an appendix marked in the index, which lists the Psalms of Solomon and probably contained more apocryphal/pseudepigraphical books, but it has been torn off and the pages containing these books have also been lost.

(All of the books generally referred to as The Apocrypha (or deuterocanonical) by Evangelicals are within the classification of ecclesiastical scripture-including Sirach, the Psalms of Solomon, the Odes, Tobit, etc.)

Technically the Odes are anonymous, but in many ancient manuscripts, the Odes of Solomon are found together with the similar Psalms of Solomon, and Odes began to be ascribed to the same author.

Where it does occur, such as in the Psalms of Solomon and the Wisdom of Solomon, it usually refers "to God's reign, not to the realm over which he reigns, nor to the new age, [nor to ...] the messianic order to be established by the Lord's Anointed."

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 63 BCE, metaphorically treating him as a dragon who had been sent by God to punish the Maccabees.
