Interesting, isn't it? Different order? One would expect 110 after 109 if
it had already been current. Well, maybe it was elsewhere in the
manuscripts. But I have the idea that psalms were still being written
during Qumran times. That's why the manuscripts don't necessarily reflect
the canonical order.
