Fuese león, fuese oso, tu siervo lo mataba; pues este Filisteo incircunciso será como uno de ellos, porque ha provocado al ejército del Dios viviente.

David is speaking to Saul, saying he has killed a lion and a bear in the past and is confident he can defeat Goliath, the Philistine giant, because Goliath has defied God's people. David believes God will help him.
