Psalms 151
1 This Psalm is a genuine one of
David, though supernumerary, composed when he fought
in single combat with
aAlex. Goliath.Goliad.
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.
