About the Author

Psalms 26 from Scroll 4Q98a Psalmsr

7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,

and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

8 Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house,

the place where your glory dwells.

9 Don’t gather my soul with sinners,

nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

10 in whose hands is wickedness,

their right hand is full of bribes.

 

11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.

Redeem me, and be merciful to me preserve my life.

12 My foot stands in an even place.

In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.

 

How to read these pages:

•      The translation to the left is based on the World English Bible. Words in regular black font are words in the scrolls matching the traditional text for that passage.

•      Words in italics cannot be seen in the scroll, since the scroll is fragmentary. These words are supplied for readability by the World English Bible translation.

•      Words present in the scroll but with some letters unreadable or missing are in blue like this: blue. One Hebrew word often is translated into multiple English words, and when this occurs, all the English words are in blue.

•      Words present in the scroll but with spelling differences that do not affect the meaning are in green like this: green. This is common in Hebrew.

•      If the scroll is different from the traditional text, words in the traditional text that are missing from the text of the scroll are marked through in red like this: strike-through.

•      If the scroll is different from the traditional text, words in the scroll that are not in the traditional text are underlined in red like this: new words.
