Hebrew Text

The mountains do not witness to him,
nor do the hills proclaim;
The trees have cherished my words
and the flocks
my works.

For who can proclaim
and who
can bespeak
and who can recount the deeds of the Lord?

Everything has God seen,
everything
has he heard and heeded.

He sent his prophet to anoint me,
Samuel to make me great;
My brothers went out to meet him,
handsome of figure and appearance.

Though they were tall of stature
and handsome by their hair,
the Lord God
chose them not.

But he sent and took me from behind the flock
and anointed me
with holy oil.

And made me leader of his people
and ruler over the people of his covenant.

Simply beautiful!  Psalm 151
