He played with lions
as if they were young goats,
    and with bears
    as if they were lambs from the flock.
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?
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.
