Is there a way to get a list of all NT quotes or allusions from the Psalms? I know I can get such a list for the entire OT in the NT, but I need something more refined than that list.

    If you pick up THIS resource or THIS collection, you’ll most certainly get what you’re asking for.

    Hi Scott - and welcome to the forums

    The Faithlife group OT Quotes in NT has a variety of documents giving the information - just extract the psalms.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Scott,

    I wanted to offer a slightly different method.

    There are two resources that I believe are in every base package that will help you with this. These are Old Testament Quotes in the New Testament by David Philipps and Old Testament Quotations and Allusions in the New Testament by David Jones. If you want strictly direct quotes, you want to use the former. if you want both quotes and allusions, use the latter.

    Open a new search panel and set you search type to Basic. Then set the search parameters to "Search All Text in Old Testament Quotes in the New Testament." Then type "psalms" into the search bar and select the option for the biblical book in the drop down menu.

     

    If you sort your search results "By Resource," it will list the hits by book in canonical order and give you a frequency on the right hand side. We can quickly see that Hebrews quotes Psalms the most, followed closely by Paul in Romans.

    Lastly, you can open the resource to one of the results to view which NT verse(s) references it. You can also change your resource navigation to scroll by "Search Result." This will allow you to move through each hit.

    You can do this same process for the resource Old Testament Quotations and Allusions in the New Testament. Hope this helps!

    This is very helpful. Thank you very much. The OT in the NT resource seemed to work better than that OT Quotes and Allusions did. Now, if I could just figure out a way to save the Psalms list, that would be perfect. Thanks again for the help, and for walking me through it.

    Logos 7 added search option in Dec 2015 => New Feature: New Testament Use of the Old Testament (Dataset)

    {Label Intertext WHERE Relationship ~ "Citation" AND Source ~ <Ps>} OR {Label Intertext WHERE Relationship ~ "Quotation"AND Source ~ <Ps>} OR {Label Intertext WHERE Relationship ~ "Allusion" AND Source ~ <Ps>} OR {Label Intertext WHERE Relationship ~ "Echo" AND Source ~ <Ps>}

    Using OR for search terms has different result colors.
