My God, I call out to you because you will answer me. Listen to me. Hear my prayer.
Because he paid attention to me, I will call out to him as long as I live.
Tremble and do not sin. When you are in bed, look deep down inside yourself and be silent.
But I call out to God. And the Lord saves me.
When I’m in trouble, I will call out to you. And you will answer me.
Please hear my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help.
Listen, Lord. Hear us. Open your eyes, Lord. Look at the trouble we’re in. Listen to what Sennacherib is saying. You are the living God. And he dares to make fun of you!
Lord our God, save us from the power of Sennacherib. Then all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you are the only God.”
