PSALM 151:
1 This psalm was written by David himself
after he fought single-handedly with Goliath.
I was the smallest among my brothers,
and the youngest in my father’s household.
I used to take care of my father’s sheep.
2 My hands constructed a musical instrument;
my fingers tuned a harp.
3 Who will announce this to my Lord?
The Lord himself—He is listening.
4 He himself sent his messenger
and took me from my father’s sheep,
and anointed me with his anointing oil.
5 My brothers were handsome and big,
but the Lord did not approve of them.
6 I went out to meet the foreigner;
he called down curses on me by his idols.
7 But I pulled out his own sword;
I beheaded him and thereby removed reproach from the Israelites.
It was pulled from a downloaded Bible (Net Bible), which states it to be Apocrypha. Personal opinion is that it is not David, and is pseudo-apocrypha.
What about you?
Anybody?
I don't have any reasons yet, having just noticed it and provide it for your perusal and opinion. knwledge behind this, or whatever else makes the text float or sink.
Sincerely,
