1A psalm of David, after he battled Goliath.
2Young I was in the midst of my brothers, and a lad in my father’s house.
3A shepherd of my father’s flock, driving his herd in the wilderness.
4My hands performed upon a lute, my fingers worked a lyre.
5And who can tell Adonai? Adonai – He will hear.
6He sent His messenger, and took me from after my father’s flock.
7And He anointed me with anointing oil, and appointed me a prince of my people.
8My brothers are good and strong, but them Adonai did not desire.
9He took me out towards the Philistine, who cursed me through his idols.
10And I tore off his sword, and cut off his head, and removed reproach from the children of Israel.
