Psalm 151 6-8
Common English Bible
6 Their stature tall,
their hair beautiful,
but the Lord God
did not choose them.
7 Instead, he sent and took me
from following the flock.
God anointed me with holy oil;
God made me leader for his people,
ruler over the children
of his covenant.
151B [Hebrew and Syriac][a]
At the beginning of David’s power after the prophet of God anointed him.
1 I went out to attack the Philistine,
who cursed me by his idols.
