Jacob Shachter and H. Freeman, Sanhedrin (London: Soncino Press, 1961), pp. 711–712. See also Meir Zlotowitz, Eichah (Brooklyn, NY: Mesorah Publications, 1976), p. 85. For a discussion of the missing nun verse in Psalm 145, see Maurice Simon, Berakoth (London: Soncino Press, 1959), pp. 14–15; this brief discussion is explicated in Avrohom Chaim Feuer, Tehillim (Brooklyn: Mesorah Publications, 1987), p. 1694.
Freedman, “Acrostic Poems,” p. 409. Ancient editors, of course, also made emendations—and mistakes. In a Qumran manuscript, Psalm 145 contains a verse for nun, “Faithful ne’eman is God in all his words…”; and this verse appears in many translations. But Hakham (Sefer Tehillim, vol. 2, p. 579) believes the verse is not original. It uses Elohim as the divine name, whereas the rest of the psalm uses YHWH.
