²² He called upon him in these words: “O Lord, you sent your angel in the time of King Hezekiah of Judea, and he killed fully one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of Sennacherib.^{(A) 23} So now, O Sovereign of the heavens, send a good angel to spread terror and trembling before us.^{(B) 24} By the might of your arm may these blasphemers who come against your holy people be struck down.” With these words he ended his prayer.
