The Psalter According to the Seventy
Psalm 151
This Psalm Is One Written By David's Own Hand, Though It Is Not Numbered With The One Hundred and Fifty Psalms. Composed When He Fought In Single Combat With Goliath.
I was the smallest among my brethren, and the youngest in the house of my father; I did shepherd the sheep of my father.
2
My hands made an instrument, and my fingers fashioned a psaltery.
3
And who shall tell my Lord? The Lord Himself, He Himself shall hearken.
4
He sent forth His angel and took me from the flocks of my father, and anointed me with the oil of His anointing.
5
My brethren were big and good, yet the Lord took not pleasure in them.
6
I went forth to meet the alien, and he cursed me by his idols.
7
But I drew his own sword and beheaded him, and took away the reproach from the sons of Israel.
