1I was small among my brothers,

and youngest in my father's house;

I tended my father's sheep.

2My hands made a harp,

my fingers fashioned a lyre.

3And who will declare it to my LORD?

The LORD himself; it is he who hears.1.3 Some witnesses add everything; others add me; others read who will hear me

4It was he who sent his messenger1.4 Or angel

and took me from my father's sheep,

and anointed me with his anointing oil.

5My brothers were handsome and tall,

but the LORD was not pleased with them.

6I went out to meet the Philistine,1.6 Or foreigner

and he cursed me by his idols.

7But I drew his own sword;

I beheaded him, and removed reproach from the people of Israel.
