Psalm 151

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ps151.1

[2] My hands made a harp,
my fingers fashioned a lyre.

[3] And who will declare it to my Lord?
The Lord himself; it is he who hears.

[4] It was he who sent his messenger
and took me from my father's sheep,
and anointed me with his anointing oil.

[5] My brothers were handsome and tall,
but the Lord was not pleased with them.

[6] I went out to meet the Philistine,
and he cursed me by his idols.

[7] But I drew his own sword;
I beheaded him, and removed reproach from
the people of Israel.
