1Psalm 151 - Thanksgiving of David after fighting Goliath
2I was the smallest among my brothers, the youngest of my father's house. While leading my father's flock to pasture, I found a lion and a bear: I killed them and tore them to pieces.
3By my hands I made a flute, my fingers made a harp.
4The mountains bore no witness, the hills proclaimed nothing; yet the trees exalted my words and the flock exalted my deeds.
5Who will tell my Lord?
6Who will proclaim, who will make known, who will declare the deeds of the Lord of all things? God saw, listened and heard everything.
7He sent his messenger to anoint me, he sent Samuel to make me great. He took me from the midst of my father's flock and anointed me with his oil.
8My brothers were handsome and tall, but the Lord did not prefer them.
9He drew me from behind the flock, anointed me with the holy oil, made me the leader of his People, king of the sons of his covenant.
10I faced the Philistine, who cursed me by his idols.
11I wrested his sword from him, cut off his head, and washed away the reproach from the children of Israel.
