This additional psalm is said to have been written by David when he fought Goliath in single combat.
1 I was small among my brothers, and the youngest of my father's sons. I was shepherd of my father's sheep.
2 My hands made a musical instrument; my fingers strung a lap harp.
3 Who will tell my Lord? The Lord himself, the Lord hears me.
4 The Lord himself sent his messenger, and took me away from my father's sheep. He put special oil on my forehead to anoint me.
5 My brothers were good-looking and tall, but the Lord didn't take special pleasure in them.
6 I went out to meet the Philistine, who cursed me by his idols.
7 But I took his own sword out of its sheath and cut off his head. So I removed the shame from the Israelites.
