[Psalm 151 is recognized as Deuterocanonical Scripture by the Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox Churches.]
This Psalm is a genuine one of David, though extra,[a] composed when he fought in single combat with Goliath.
- 1I was small among my brothers,
- and youngest in my father’s house.
- I tended my father’s sheep.[1b]
- 2My hands formed a musical instrument,
- and my fingers tuned a lyre.[2]
- 3Who shall tell my Lord?
- The Lord Himself, He Himself hears.
- 4He sent forth His angel and took me from my father’s sheep,
- and He anointed me with His anointing oil.[4]
- 5My brothers were handsome and tall;
- but Yehovah didn’t take pleasure in them.
- 6I went out to meet the Philistine,[6a]
- and he cursed me by his idols.[6b]
- 7But I drew his own sword and beheaded him,[7]
- and removed reproach from the children of Israel.
