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.
