151B [Hebrew and Syriac][a]

At the beginning of David’s power after the prophet of God anointed him.

I went out to attack the Philistine,
    who cursed me by his idols.

But after I uncovered his own sword,
        I cut off his head.
    So I removed the shame
    from the Israelites.[b]

Psalm 151 [Greek]

This additional psalm is said to have been written by David when he fought Goliath in single combat.

I was small among my brothers,
    and the youngest of my father’s sons.
    I was shepherd of my father’s sheep.
