'''Psalms 152 to 155''' are additional [[Psalms]] found in the [[Syriac]] [[Peshitta]] and, for two of them, in the [[Dead Sea scrolls]]. Together with [[Psalm 151]] they are also called the ''''Five [[Apocryphal]] Psalms of [[David]]''''.

===Psalm 152===
''"Spoken by David when he was contending with the lion and the wolf which took a sheep from his flock."''<ref name="Wright">title from W. Wright ''Some Apocryphal Psalms in Syriac'', Proceedings of the Society of [[Biblical archaeology]] 9 [1887] 257–266,</ref>. This text survived only in [[Syriac language|Syriac]] and the original language may be [[Hebrew]]. The tone is non-rabbinical and it was probably composed in Palestine during the [[Hellenistic]] period.

===Psalm 153===
''"Spoken by David when returning thanks to God, who had delivered him from the lion and the wolf and he had slain both of them."''<ref name="Wright"/>. This text survived only in [[Syriac language|Syriac]]. Date and provenance are like psalm 152.

===Psalm 154===
This Psalm survived in the [[Syriac]] [[Peshitta]] and also was found in [[Hebrew]], in the [[Dead Sea scroll]] 11QPs(a)154 (said also ''11Q5''), a first-century CE manuscript. The main theme is the request to ''"join yourselves to the good and to the perfect, to glorify the Most High"''. There is also a hint to common meals, typical of [[Essene]]s: ''"And in their eating shall be satisfying in truth, and in their drinking, when they share together"'.

===Psalm 155===
This psalm extant in [[Syriac]] and also was found in the [[Dead Sea scroll]] 11QPs(a)155 (said also ''11Q5''), a first-century CE [[Hebrew]] manuscript. The theme of this psalm is similar to [[Psalm 22]], and due to the lack of peculiarities it is impossible to suggest date and origin.
