Psalm 151

Psalm 151


1 I was small among my brothers,

and the youngest in my father’s house;

I tended my father’s sheep.


2 My hands made a harp;

my fingers fashioned a lyre.


3 And who will tell my Lord?

The Lord himself; it is he who hears.


4 It was he who sent his messenger

and took me from my father’s sheep,

and anointed me with his anointing oil.


5 My brothers were handsome and tall,

but the Lord was not pleased with them.


6 I went out to meet the Philistine,

and he cursed me by his idols.


7 But I drew his own sword;

I beheaded him, and took away disgrace from the people of Israel.
