Mazmur 72:20

72:20 This collection of the prayers of David son of Jesse ends here. ⁴ 

[23:3]  ¹ tn Heb “and their number by their heads, by men, was 38,000.”

[23:24]  ² tn Heb “these were the sons of Levi according to the house of their fathers, heads of the fathers, according to their numberings, by number of names, according to their heads, doer[s] of the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from a son of twenty years and upwards.”

[23:2]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[72:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “the prayers of David, son of Jesse, are concluded.” As noted earlier, v. 20 appears to be a remnant of an earlier collection of psalms or an earlier edition of the Psalter. In the present arrangement of the Book of Psalms, not all psalms prior to this are attributed to David (see Pss 1-2, 10, 33, 42-50, 66-67, 71-72) and several psalms attributed to David appear after this (see Pss 86, 101, 103, 108-110, 122, 124, 131, 138-145).
