Ps151 1
1
This Psalm is a genuine one of David, though supernumerary, composed when he fought
in single combat with Goliath. - I was small among my brethren, and youngest in my father’s house: I tended
my father’s sheep.
2
My hands formed a musical instrument, and my fingers tuned a psaltery.
3
And who shall tell my Lord? the Lord himself, he himself hears.
4
He sent forth his angel, and took me from my father’s sheep, and he anointed me with
the oil of his anointing.
5
My brothers were handsome and tall; but the Lord did not take pleasure in them.
6
I went forth to meet the Philistine; and he cursed me by his idols.
7
But I drew his own sword, and beheaded him, and removed reproach from the children
of Israel.
