24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices (A)together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, (B)who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, 25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant,[a] said by the Holy Spirit,
(C)“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and (D)the rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his (E)Anointed’[b]—
27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your (F)holy servant Jesus, (G)whom you anointed, both (H)Herod and (I)Pontius Pilate, along (J)with the Gentiles and (K)the peoples of Israel, 28 (L)to do whatever your hand and (M)your plan had predestined to take place. 29 And now, Lord, (N)look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all (O)boldness, 30 while (P)you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed (Q)through the name of your (R)holy servant Jesus.”

Psalm 55:16-22
English Standard Version
16 But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.
17 (A)Evening and (B)morning and at (C)noon
I (D)utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
18 He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for (E)many are arrayed against me.
19 God will give ear and humble them,
he who is (F)enthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not (G)change
and do not fear God.
20 My companion[a] (H)stretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
21 His (I)speech was (J)smooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were (K)drawn swords.
22 (L)Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
(M)he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.

14 Hezekiah received (A)the 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, (B)enthroned above the cherubim, (C)you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. 16 (D)Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; (E)open your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent (F)to 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, (G)but 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, (H)that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that (I)you, O Lord, are God alone.”
