Psalm 151 1 — ASVBT

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

1Verse 1I was small among my brethren,
And youngest in my father’s house:
I tended my father’s sheep.
^{Verse 2}My hands formed a musical instrument,
And my fingers tuned a psaltery.
^{Verse 3}And who shall tell my Lord?
The Lord himself, he himself heareth.
^{Verse 4}He sent forth his angel,
And took me from my father’s sheep,
And he anointed me with the oil of his anointing.
^{Verse 5}My brethren were handsome and tall;
But the Lord did not take pleasure in them.
^{Verse 6}I went forth to meet the Philistine;
And he cursed me by his idols.
^{Verse 7}But I drew his own sword, and beheaded him,
And removed reproach from the children of Israel.
