Psalm 151 1

1 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 heareth.

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 brethren 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.
