bTo shepherd Jacob His people,
And Israel His inheritance.
And guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

Psalms 78:70
He chose David also his servant - He chose him that he might set him over his people as their king. The idea is, that David was selected when he had no natural pretensions to the office, as he did not pertain to a royal family, and could have no claim to such a distinction. The account of this choice is contained in 1 Sam. 15:1-30.
And took him from the sheep-folds - From the humble occupation of a shepherd. I Samuel 16:11; II Samuel 7:8.
