[This Psalm is a genuine one of David,
though supernumerary, composed when he fought in single combat with Goliad]
151:1 I was small among my brethren, and youngest in my father's house: I
tended my father's sheep.
151:2 My hands formed a musical instrument, and my fingers tuned a psaltery.
151:3 And who shall tell my Lord? the Lord himself, he himself hears.
151:4 He sent forth his angel, and took me from my father's sheep, and he
anointed me with the oil of his anointing.
151:5 My brothers were handsome and tall; but the Lord did not take pleasure
in them.
151:6 I went forth to meet the Philistine; and he cursed me by his idols.
151:7 But I drew his own sword, and beheaded him, and removed reproach from
the children of Israel. |
