"... As with Job, a tendency has developed in Psalms scholarship to read individual psalms and even the Psalter itself in their final form.95 I do not argue that the author of Job is alluding to the Psalter in its final form, so when and how individual psalms were gathered into the five-book collection in the Hebrew Bible does not affect this study. The actual original form of the psalms in question also is of limited relevance because only the form of the psalm to which the author of Job had access is important, whether that form is the result of a lengthy textual development or not. As Edward Greenstein observes, when a text in Job parallels one found elsewhere in the HB, whether the allusion is to that text in its present context or in an earlier source is unclear. Thus, since we can only know which sections of any given psalm were available to the author of Job by his allusions to them, I build my argument more on what Job and his friends mention than what they omit. However, this does not exclude consideration of the broader context of texts to which the author alludes. If several different parts of the same psalm appear in the book, such as Job’s references to both Psalm 8:5 (Job 7:17–18) and 8:6 (Job 19:9) along with the friends’ allusions to Psalm 8:4–6 in Job 15:14–16 and 25:5–6, then we may assume at least that much of the psalm existed together when he wrote ..."
