Psalm 78:70-72

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷⁰ He chose his servant David.
He took him from the sheep pens.
⁷¹ He brought him from tending the ewes that had lambs
so that David could be the shepherd of the people of Jacob,
of Israel, the people who belonged to the Lord.
⁷² With unselfish devotion David became their shepherd.
With skill he guided them.
