Psalms
Psalms 151
This psalm is David’s own and outside the number, when he fought Goliath in single combat.
1 I was small among my brothers and youngest in my father’s house; I shepherded my father’s sheep.
2 My hands made an instrument, and my fingers tuned a harp.
3 Who will report to my Lord? The Lord himself listens.
4 He sent his messenger, took me from my father’s sheep, and anointed me with his anointing oil.
5 My brothers were handsome and tall, but the Lord did not delight in them.
6 I went out to meet the Philistine, and he cursed me by his idols.
7 But I drew his own sword, beheaded him, and removed reproach from Israel’s sons.
