1 In the days of my youth, I was the youngest among my brothers and served my father’s flock.<\/p>\n
2 At this time, I met a lion and a wolf, and I defeated and broke them, tearing them in two.<\/p>\n
3 I made musical instruments with my hands and made a harp with my fingers.<\/p>\n
4 I asked to know my Lord, and Mar-Yah* revealed himself to me as my God.<\/p>\n
5 His angel came, took me from my father’s flock, and anointed me with holy oil.<\/p>\n

8 Even so, I prevailed over him and took his sword, and cut off his head and removed the disgrace of the Israelites.<\/p>\n
