Psalm 151 5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ God sent his prophet to anoint me;
    Samuel to make me great.
My brothers went out to meet him,
    handsome in form and appearance:

⁶ Their stature tall,
    their hair beautiful,
    but the Lord God
    did not choose them.

⁷ Instead, he sent and took me
from following the flock.
God anointed me with holy oil;
    God made me leader for his people,
    ruler over the children
    of his covenant.
