Psalm 151

verso 1

This Psalm is a genuine one of David, though extra, composed when he fought in single combat with Goliath. I was small among my brothers, and youngest in my father’s house. I tended my father’s sheep.

verso 2

My hands formed a musical instrument, and my fingers tuned a lyre.

verso 3

Who shall tell my Lord? The Lord himself, he himself hears.

verso 4

He sent forth his angel and took me from my father’s sheep, and he anointed me with his anointing oil.

verso 5

My brothers were handsome and tall; but the Lord didn’t take pleasure in them.

verso 6

I went out to meet the Philistine, and he cursed me by his idols.

verso 7

But I drew his own sword and beheaded him, and removed reproach from the children of Israel.
