Psalms 152 to 155 are additional Psalms found in the Syriac Peshitta and some Greek Septuagint and at Qumran: 11QPs(a)154,155. Together with Psalm 151, they are also called the Five Apocryphal Psalms of David. W. Wright in "Some Apocryphal Psalms in Syriac", Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archaeology 9 [1887] 257–266, titled them as follows:

  • The Prayer of Hezekiah when enemies surrounded him.
  • When the People obtained permission from Cyrus to return home.
  • Spoken by David when he was contending with the lion and the wolf which took a sheep from his flock.
  • 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.
