The Two Incantations in 11Q11

11Q11 contains four songs that are probably to be identified with the four Davidic songs that are mentioned at the end of the Great Psalms Scroll (11QPs^a = 11Q5) as being 'l hpg'ym “for the stricken”.^[206] The list of songs attributed to David for every day, sabbath, and festival of an ideal 364-day year has a definite calen- drical background. The four songs of 11Q11 may have been recited on the four liminal days of the year: Song 4 (identical to Psalm 91) at the summer sol­stice; Song 3 at the spring equinox; Song 2 at winter solstice; and Song 1 for the autumn equinox. Only Song 4 is known in extenso, while, from Song 3, the beginning is readable. Songs 1 and 2 are too fragmentary to draw any conclu­sion concerning their contents.3^[207]
