Then when the Philistine rose and began to advance, drawing near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.
Of David. Adonai is my light and my salvation: whom should I fear? Adonai is the stronghold of my life: whom should I dread?
Though an army camp besieges me, my heart will not fear. Though war breaks out against me, even then will I be confident.
The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
David put his hand in his bag, took from it a stone and slung it, striking the Philistine on his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to the ground.
