Psalms of Solomon

I've recently translated the Psalms of Solomon and placed this work in an Appendix file at the end of the OT. It is not present in the canon of any major Christian tradition, or in the three primary Alexandrian manuscripts of the Septuagint, but it is included in the editions of Swete and Rahlfs.  Its theology is fully compatible with the rest of Scripture in its denunciation of coarse rebellion against God and promotion of faith in divine mercy: "We hope on God our savior, because the might of our God is forever with mercy, and the kingdom of our God is forever over the nations in justice" (Ps. Sol. 17:3).
