Why does my Bible say something different?
- Psalm 151: the psalm “outside the number”
Most copies of the Greek Psalter end with a short Psalm 151, in which David tells of his anointing and his victory over Goliath. It is not in the Masoretic Hebrew Psalter. The Orthodox Church includes it in its Psalter; the Catholic Church and Protestants do not count it as canonical. A Hebrew form of it was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Οὗτος ὁ ψαλμὸς ἰδιόγραφος εἰς Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἔξωθεν τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ, ὅτε ἐμονομάχησε τῷ Γολιάδ. Μικρὸς ἤμην ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοίς μου, καὶ νεώτερος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός μου, ἐποίμαινον τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρός μου.
