Hezekiah’s Prayer for Deliverance (ISA 37:14-20)

[37:14] Hezekiah received 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.

[37:15] And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord:

[37:16] “O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.

[37:17] Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God.

[37:18] Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands,

[37:19] and have cast their gods into the fire. For they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed.

[37:20] So now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord.”
