Without armor or sword, in the strength of the Lord;
With blessing of God and of Saul, as he was, then he took
Staff and sling in his hand and five stones from the brook.

Young David advanceth this forty-first day
Since challenge was issued into the affray.
Goliath doth see him, and thus doth he say;

For the sling is unseen, though the club he doth see
“How art thou come out with a stave to fight me –
As a dog? O thou ruddy and fair nominee

Then David did say, “You would have me to yield
To might of your sword and your spear and your shield.
But not upon these do I have to rely;
I come in the name of Him thou dost defy,
The God of our armies, Jehovah Most High.”

Goliath arose, and came on in a rage;
T’ward him David did race and the distance did gauge,
As he swung in a flash a smooth stone from his sling.
Which driven to kill found its mark with great skill
In the skull of Goliath of Gath. What a thrill!

From Goliath’s own sheath David drew out the sword
And cut off the head of this Philistine lord.
The Philistine horde when their champion did fall
Did scatter as leaves “fore the wind in the Fall.
So David to Isra’l a triumph did bring
By faith in the Lord and a stone from his sling.

David Slays Goliath − Review & Herald Publishing

Goliath our foe, is the devil we know,
Who God did defy, and who told the first lie.
In his crafty way, for our life he would play;
And even transform to angelical form
To lead us astray from the true “Narrow Way.”
He can be undone, we shall him overcome,
With a stone from the brook, as a quote from the Book.
We shall have him smitt’n with a “thus it is writt’n.”
