1:1 I was small among my brothers, and youngest in my father's house; I tended my father's sheep. |
1:2 My hands made a harp, my fingers fashioned a lyre. |
1:3 And who will declare it to my Lord? The Lord himself; it is he who hears. |
1:4 It was he who sent his messenger and took me from my father's sheep, and anointed me with his anointing oil. |
1:5 My brothers were handsome and tall, but the Lord was not pleased with them. |
1:6 I went out to meet the Philistine, and he cursed me by his idols. |
1:7 But I drew his own sword; I beheaded him, and removed reproach from the people of Israel |
