How did scribes understand Psalm 72.20, ‘Ended are the prayers of David, son of Jesse’, in view of subsequent Davidic psalms in the MT Psalter? After appraising the major proposals and examining its earliest reception (MT pointing, DSS parallels, and early Jewish and patristic evidence), this paper argues that the oft-overlooked genealogical qualifier ‘ben Jesse’ indicates a primary focus on ‘historical’ David in Books 1–2, whereas Books 3–5 primarily have future or eschatological ‘David’/Davidic monarchy in view. This synchronic account of 72.20’s meaning in the Psalter honours its plainest sense and explains its editorial retention/reuse, yet leaves room for diachronic theories about its origins. It also accounts for evidence other theories do not, especially Psalm 86’s identification as a ‘prayer (תפלה‎) of David’ and the Psalms’ predominant association of תפלה‎ with David. Further implications for ‘psalmic voice’ and David’s significance as YHWH’s praying servant in the Psalter are then explored.

大卫,曾经和未来的国王?仔细看看诗篇 72.20 的后记

文士如何理解诗篇 72.20,“耶西之子大卫的祈祷结束了”,鉴于随后在 MT 诗篇中的大卫诗篇?在评估了主要提案并检查了其最早的接受度(MT 指向、DSS 平行以及早期犹太教和教父证据)之后,本文认为经常被忽视的家谱限定词“ben Jesse”表明主要关注书中的“历史”大卫1-2,而书 3-5 主要着眼于未来或末世的“大卫”/大卫王朝。诗篇中 72.20 意义的共时记述尊重其最简单的意义并解释了其编辑保留/重用,但为关于其起源的历时理论留下了空间。它还解释了其他理论没有的证据,尤其是诗篇 86 被认定为“大卫的祷告(תפלה )”,以及诗篇中 תפלה 与大卫的主要联系。然后探讨了“诗篇的声音”的进一步含义以及大卫在诗篇中作为耶和华代祷仆人的重要性。
