Sirach 47:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ For he called on the Lord, the Most High,
    and he gave strength to his right arm
to strike down a mighty warrior
    and to exalt the power^[a] of his people.^(A)
6 So they glorified him for the tens of thousands
    and praised him for the blessings bestowed by the Lord,
    when the glorious diadem was given to him.^(B)
7 For he wiped out his enemies on every side
    and scorned his adversaries the Philistines;
    he crushed their power^[b] to our own day.^(C)
