Psalm 151 8-10
Common English Bible
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]
Psalm 151 [Greek]

and the youngest of my father’s sons.
I was shepherd of my father’s sheep.
