Psalm 78:71

Lessons From Israel's Past

⁷⁰ And made choice of David his servant, And took him from among the folds of the sheep: ⁷¹ From after the sucking ewes, he brought him in, - To be shepherd to Jacob his people, And to Israel, his inheritance. ⁷² So he did shepherd them, according to the singleness of his heart, And, with the discernment of his hands, used he to guide them.
