1 I was small among my brothers And the y oungest in my father's house; I tended my father's sheep.
2 My hands built a musical instrument; My fingers tuned a ly re.
3 And who shall tell my Lord?
The Lord Himself, He Himself hears.
4 He sent forth His Angel And took me from my father's sheep; And he anointed me with his anointing oil.
5 My brothers were handsome and tall, But the Lord took no pleasure in them.
6 I went out to meet the foreigner, And he cursed me with his idols; 7 But I drew his own sword and beheaded him, And remov ed disgrace from the children of Israel.
