Psalm 78:70-72
EasyEnglish Bible

70 Also, he chose his servant, David.
He took David away from the fields,
71     so that he no longer took care of his father's sheep.
He became like a shepherd,
    to lead his people, Jacob's descendants.
He ruled the people that belonged to God,
    the Israelite people.[a]
72 David took care of them with an honest heart.
He was wise in the way that he led them.
