4 Who can proclaim,who can announce,who can declare the Lord’s deeds?God has seen everything;God has heard everything;God has listened.
5 God sent his prophet to anoint me;Samuel to make me great.My brothers went out to meet him,handsome in form and appearance:
6 Their stature tall,their hair beautiful,but the Lord Goddid not choose them.
7 Instead, he sent and took mefrom following the flock.God anointed me with holy oil;God made me leader for his people,ruler over the childrenof his covenant.
