This psalm is ascribed to David as his own composition (though it is outside the number[a]), after he had fought in single combat with Goliath.

151 I was small among my brothers
    and the youngest in my father’s house;
I tended my father’s sheep.(A)

My hands made a harp;
    my fingers fashioned a lyre.(B)

And who will tell my Lord?
    The Lord himself; it is he who hears.[b](C)
