3. He played with lions as with lambs: and with bears he did in like manner as with the lambs of the flock, in his youth.
4. Did not he kill the giant, and take away reproach from his people?
5. In lifting up his hand, with the stone in the sling he beat down the boasting of Goliath:
6. For he called upon the Lord the Almighty: and he gave strength to his right hand, to take away the mighty warrior and to set up the horn of the nation.
7. So in ten thousand did he glorify him, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in offering to him a crown of glory:
8. For he destroyed the enemies on every side, and extirpated the Philistines the adversaries unto this day: he broke their horn for ever.
9. In all his works he gave thanks to the holy one, and to the most High, with words of glory.
10. With his whole heart he praised the Lord, and loved God that made him: and he gave him power against his enemies:
11. And he set singers before the altar, and by their voices he made sweet melody.
12. And to the festivals he added beauty, and set in order the solemn times even to the end of his life, that they should praise the holy name of the Lord, and magnify the holiness of God in the morning.
