As ‘n bonus gee ek vandag ook ‘n ekstra Psalm vir jou, Psalm 151.  Dit is ‘n Psalm wat in die meeste van die Griekse vertalings van die OT voorkom (die LXX) wat beteken dat Jesus en die eerste gelowiges dié Psalm geken het.  Daar is met die ontdekking van die Dooie See rolle ook twee Hebreeuse fragmente gekry wat waarskynlik die boustene van dié Psalm uitgemaak het.

Ek plaas die Psalm hier in die NRSV se weergawe daarvan[1]:

This psalm is ascribed to David as his own composition (though it is outside the number), after he had fought in single combat with Goliath.

1I was small among my brothers,
and the youngest in my father’s house;
I tended my father’s sheep.
2My hands made a harp;
my fingers fashioned a lyre.
3And who will tell my Lord?
The Lord himself; it is he who hears.
4It was he who sent his messenger
and took me from my father’s sheep,
and anointed me with his anointing oil.
5My brothers were handsome and tall,
but the Lord was not pleased with them.
6I went out to meet the Philistine,
and he cursed me by his idols.
7But I drew his own sword;
I beheaded him, and took away disgrace from the people of Israel.

Dit is ‘n Psalm wat eintlik nie ‘n nommer het nie, soos die opskrif aandui, maar ter wille van die plek wat dit baie keer inneem aan die einde van die Psalmboek die nommer 151 gekry het in die vertalings daarvan.

Let op hoe Dawid die Here loof dat Hy na hom luister, dat Hy hom geroep het (Samuel), en dat God hom gebruik het om oorwinning vir die volk te bewerk in die geveg teen Goliat.

Mag die Here jou ook die ervaring gee dat Hy na jou luister, jou roep en jou gebruik in sy koninkryk!

ONTHOU DAAR IS MÔRE … NOG ‘N VERRASSING …
