Abstract
The Messianic reaffirmation of Ps 18 must be understood in the context of the influence of the book of Proverbs, more specifically the influence of Prov 30:1–14, upon the Psalter. However, it is not only the influence of Proverbs that is important. It goes further; for example; the psalm also responds to the denunciation of the fate of the poor at the return from the exile. These responses indicate some relations to late redactions of the Book of the Twelve, Jonah, Zephaniah (see Zechariah), Habakkuk, the Prayer of Hannah in 1 Sam 2:1–10 (which frames the books of Samuel together with 2 Sam 22 = Ps 18), or from the book of Job and some passages depending on Judges 5:4, later found in Ps 68, Dt 33:2 or Is 34 and 63:1–6.
