Sirach 47:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² As the fat is set apart from the offering of well-being,
    so David was set apart from the Israelites.
³ He played with lions as though they were young goats,
    and with bears as though they were lambs of the flock.
⁴ In his youth did he not kill a giant,
    and take away the people’s disgrace,
when he whirled the stone in the sling
    and struck down the boasting Goliath?
