This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

Verse 46 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Samuel. David faces Goliath with a sling and five stones, but before the battle declares that the battle belongs to the Lord. The giant’s defeat is not explained by David’s military superiority, but by God’s intervention in response to a confrontation against his name. David uses Goliath’s sword to complete the victory, and the Philistines flee. The story turns the battle into a demonstration that the Lord can save without depending on the instruments considered powerful by human societies.

Heutigestages wird dich der HERR in meine Hand überantworten, daß ich dich schlage und nehme dein Haupt von dir und gebe die Leichname des Heeres der Philister heute den Vögeln unter dem Himmel und dem Wild auf Erden, daß alles Land innewerde, daß Israel einen Gott hat,
Jehová te entregará hoy en mi mano, y yo te venceré, y quitaré tu cabeza de ti: y daré hoy los cuerpos de los Filisteos a las aves del cielo y a las bestias de la tierra: y sabrá la tierra toda que hay Dios en Israel.
Aujourd'hui l'Eternel te livrera entre mes mains, je t'abattrai et je te couperai la tête; aujourd'hui je donnerai les cadavres du camp des Philistins aux oiseaux du ciel et aux animaux de la terre. Et toute la terre saura qu'Israël a un Dieu.
Oggi il Signore ti darà nella mia mano, ed io ti percoterò, e ti spiccherò il capo; e darò pur oggi i corpi morti del campo de’ Filistei agli uccelli del cielo, ed alle fiere della terra; e tutta la terra conoscerà che Israele ha un Dio.
Hoje mesmo o SENHOR te entregará na minha mão, e ferir-te-ei, e tirar-te-ei a cabeça, e os corpos do arraial dos filisteus darei hoje mesmo às aves do céu e às feras da terra; e toda a terra saberá que há Deus em Israel;
今日耶和華必將你交在我手裏。我必殺你,砍下你的頭,今日我要把 非利士 軍兵的屍體給空中的飛鳥和地上的野獸,使全地的人都知道以色列中有上帝,
