Questions: Do you think we have a verse missing between Psalm 145:13-14 within the Psalms? If Psalm 145 is an acrostic Psalm, why is the nun verse missing in the Masoretic Text (and thus missing from our own Bible or at least from KJV and NKJV, also it should be pointed out that several English translations do include the missing nun verse) compared to its presence in 11QPs-a (Dead Sea scroll), and the translated equivalent in the Septuagint (which was the Greek speaking Christian Old Testament of the early church)? By the way there has been found one Medieval Hebrew manuscript that does contain the nun verse (see Apparatus of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia). Why do these three have the same matched nun verse? I hope you all have fun in the discussion and let us try to be civil with one another. Hopefully I placed this in the right forum, if not then the administrators are welcomed to move it to the appropriate forum.
From lines 2-3 of column 17 of 11QPs-a:
נאמן אלוהים בדבריו וחסיד בכול מעשֹיו
From the Septuagint:
πιστὸς κύριος ἐν τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅσιος ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ
From lines 2-3 of column 17 of 11QPs-a:
