(dari Athanasian Grail Psalter - Book V)

This Psalm is ascribed to David and is outside the number. When he slew Goliath in single combat.

(This Title given in the Septuagint)

1 Little was I among my brethren:

A younger brother in my father's house.

2 My hands, they made an instrument of music:

My fingers, they prepared a psaltery.

3 And who shall bring back tidings to my master?

The Lord Himself, Himself gives ear.

4 Himself sent forth His messenger:

And took me from among my father's sheep;

And with the oil of His annointing He annointed me.

5 Comely my brethren were and tall:

And yet they found not favour with the Lord.

6 But I, I sallied forth to meet the alien:

And he reviled me by all his idols.

7 But I drew forth the sword that was beside him:

I cut his head off with it,

And from the sons of Israel removed reproach.

Psalm 151 - (Source: Dead Sea Scrolls)

A praise of Yahweh by David, son of Jesse. David’s first mighty deed after the prophet of God had anointed him. When he fought Goliath in a single combat.

1. I was the smallest of my brothers, the youngest of the sons of my father and the youngest in my father’s house. He made me shepherd of his flock and ruler over his kids. While I tended my father’s sheep, I discovered a lion and a wolf. Thus, I killed and rent them.

2. My hands made a flute, my fingers a lyre and so I offered glory to Yahweh. Thus, I said in my soul:

3. The mountains do not witness to him, nor do the hills proclaim, the trees praise my words and the flock my deeds.

4. For who can announce and who can speak of and who can recount his deeds?

5. Who will tell my Lord? And who will hear me? The Lord himself, it is he who hears. The Lord of all saw, the God of all. He heard me and he listened to everything.

6. He sent his messenger prophet Samuel to take me from my father’s flock and anointed me with his anointing oil. He removed me from the sheep of my father, to anoint me, to make me great.

7. My brothers went out to meet him, they were handsome of figure, handsome of appearance.

8. Although they were tall of stature with beautiful and beauteous hair. Yahweh God did not choose them for the Lord was not pleased with them.

9. But he sent and fetched me from behind the flock, anointed me with holy oil. He made me a leader of his people and a ruler over the sons of his covenant.

10. Then I went out to meet the Philistine. I saw the Philistine uttering insults from the ranks of the enemy and he cursed me by his idols.

11. In the strength of Yahweh, I cast three stones at him. I smote him in the forehead and felled him to the earth.

12. But I drew out his own sword from him and with it I cut off his head. Thereby removed reproach from the sons of Israel and thereby removed reproach from the house of Israel.
