Wisdom of Ben Sira 47:4-6
New Catholic Bible
4 While still a young boy he killed a giant
and eradicated the shame of his people.
By hurling a stone from his sling
he put an end to the boastful arrogance of Goliath.
5 For he called on the Most High God,
who gave strength to his right arm
to strike down that mighty warrior
and demonstrate the power of his people.
6 Therefore, they exalted him as the conqueror of tens of thousands,
praised him while they blessed the Lord,
and offered him a crown of glory.
