Let no man dread, the youth began,
This haughty monster of a man;
That dares all Israel's host defy,
His time is come, his end is nigh!
And, trusting in Jehovah's might,
Myself will undertake the flight--
Thou hast not strength, the monarch cries,
Against this man of war to rise!
Unus'd to arms, unknown to war.
Thy bleating flocks have been thy care;
