A dreadful hoard stands in immense defiance

Out of the mouth of Gath proceeds a wicked utterance

Who shall emerge and fight against me?

Send forth your man that I am devour him.

I defy our battle lines step forward your death is mine.

Out from the wild fields comes forth the boy anointed.

Consumed with youthful passion and the holy fear of God.

I will defy this abomination who stands opposed to the armies of God.

Like the wild beasts that I have slaughtered

This Philistine shall die by my hand.

Am I a feeble dog? That you approach me with a rod. I curse the ground that you stand on.

My blade will sing your funeral song.

With a single stone and sling in hand.

I’ll crack your skull, I’ll use your sword to sever your head.

I’ll feed your flesh to the beasts of the field.

The whole world shall know the almighty God of Israel.

I am a prophetic foreshadowing of what’s to come in this divine line.

The Son of man will crush the serpent's skull.
