PS2

151

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

1 I was small amongst my brothers,

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 lyre.

3 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 his anointing oil.

5 My brothers were handsome and tall;

but the Lord didn’t take pleasure in them.

6 I went out 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.
