Barkhi Nafshi

4Q Barkhi Nafshi (Hebrew "Bless Oh My Soul", not to be confused with Psalm 104) is a Second Temple period Jewish work found at Qumran. It can be generally described a collection of Hebrew language hymns giving thanksgiving for deliverance and other benefits received from God.[1] Seely identifies the text as a late Hasmonean or early Herodian sectarian work.[2] The hymns contain abstraction of the concept of deliverance from the evil thought, or yetzer ha ra, as in 4Q438 4a ii.6 where Tigechelaar has demonstrated an intertextual relationship between the Satan of Zechariah 3 and the "clothing" of the speaker of Barkhi Nafshi.[3]
