1 After these things, Nathan the prophet arose, in the days of David.
2 And just as fat is separated from meat, so was David separated from the sons of Israel.
3 He played with lions, as if with lambs, and he acted similarly with bears, as if they were lambs of the flock, in his youth.
4 Did he not kill the giant, and take away the reproach from his people?
5 By lifting up his hand, with a stone in a sling, he threw down the boasting of Goliath.
6 For he called upon the Almighty Lord, and he swore with his right hand to take away the mighty man of war, and to exalt the horn of his people.
7 So he glorified him amid ten thousand, and he praised him with the blessings of the Lord, by offering him a crown of glory.
