Hezekiah’s Prayer

14 Hezekiah received ^jthe letter from the hand of the messengers and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord and spread it before the Lord. 15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said: “O Lord, the God of Israel, ^kenthroned above the cherubim, ^lyou are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. 16 ^mIncline your ear, O Lord, and hear; ⁿopen your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent ^oto mock the living God. 17 Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands 18 and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, ^pbut the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed. 19 So now, O Lord our God, save us, please, from his hand, ^qthat all the kingdoms of the earth may know that ^ryou, O Lord, are God alone.”

Nehemiah 4:11

Psalms 50:15

15 and ^scall upon me in the day of trouble;
I will ^tdeliver you, and you shall ^uglorify me.”

Psalms 55:16-22

16 But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.
17 ^vEvening and ^wmorning and at ^xnoon
I ^yutter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
18 He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for ^zmany are arrayed against me.
19 God will give ear and humble them,
he who is ^aaenthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not ^abchange
and do not fear God.
20 My companion ^{▼▼Hebrew He} ^adstretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
21 His ^aespeech was ^afsmooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were ^agdrawn swords.
22 ^ahCast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
^aihe will never permit
the righteous to be moved.

Luke 6:11-12
