Psalm 149 features a singing army bringing the gospel to nations. Psalm 150 concludes by praising God with every instrument and dance.

Psalm 151 is a short psalm found in most copies of the Septuagint[ but not
in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. The title given to this psalm in
the Septuagint indicates that it is supernumerary, and no number is
af鍖xed to it: "This Psalm is ascribed to David and is outside the number.
When he slew Goliath in single combat".] .The psalm concerns the story
of David and Goliath.
For many years scholars believed that Psalm 151 might have been an original Greek composition and
that there is no evidence that Psalm 151 ever existed in Hebrew.[4]
However, Psalm 151 appears along with several canonical and non-canonical psalms in the Dead Sea
scroll 11QPs(a) (named also 11Q5), a 鍖rst-century AD scroll discovered in 1956. The editio princeps of
this manuscript was 鍖rst published in 1963 by J. A. Sanders.[5] This scroll contains two short Hebrew
psalms which scholars now agree served as the basis for Psalm 151.[6]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/thefinalfivepsalms-180910130347/85/The-Doxological-Coda-to-Psalms-19-320.jpg)
