In standard editions of the LXX the Odes will follow the Psalter.
Since the oldest source of Ode 14 is the Apostolic Constitutions (VII
47), dating from the latter half of the fourth century, the Ode in
question is evidently older. Its title is "Morning Hymn" and its
incipit runs: Glory to God in the highest/ and peace on earth/ goodwill
among humans.
