Sirach 47:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Didn’t he kill a giant in his youth
        and take away disgrace from the people,
    when he raised his hand with a stone shot from a sling
        and struck down
        the arrogant Goliath?
⁵ David called upon the Lord Most High,
    and the Lord gave strength
    to his strong arm
        to do away with a mighty warrior,
        to assert the power^[a] of his people.
⁶ For this, they glorified him
in throngs of thousands.
    They praised him,
    calling down the Lord’s blessings,
    when they brought him
    a glorious crown.
