Psalm 151

BookBook of Psalms

Psalm 151 is a short psalm concerning the story of David and Goliath found in most copies of the Septuagint (LXX), but not in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible. The title given to the psalm in the Septuagint indicates that it is supernumerary, as no number is affixed to it. The psalm is ascribed to David.

The title of the psalm states that it was written by David after his battle with Goliath. The psalm assumes familiarity with other Biblical passages, from which it draws phraseology.

It is preserved in the Latin, Hebrew (DSS), Greek (LXX), and some manuscripts of the Syriac Peshitta.
