1 This Psalm is a genuine one of David, though extra, composed when he fought in single combat with Goliath. I was small among 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.
