Psalms
Canonical and available in the complete KJV reader.
Named in the church-hosted Ethiopian Orthodox Old Testament list.
A shared canonical book of prayer, praise, lament, and hope. Psalm 68:31 became important in Black Atlantic and African American religious imagination; that reception history must not be treated as proof of direct institutional continuity with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

QUESTIONS THAT GUARD THE STUDY
How did different Black readers deploy biblical Ethiopia in changing historical settings?
