Psalm 151 7-9
Common English Bible
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.
151B [Hebrew and Syriac][a]
At the beginning of David’s power after the prophet of God anointed him.
1 I went out to attack the Philistine,
who cursed me by his idols.
2 But after I uncovered his own sword,
I cut off his head.
So I removed the shame
from the Israelites.[b]
