24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, (A)You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who [a]by the mouth of Your servant David have said:
(B)‘Why did the nations rage,
And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His Christ.’
27 “For (C)truly against (D)Your holy Servant Jesus, (E)whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 (F)to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants (G)that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, (H)and that signs and wonders may be done (I)through the name of (J)Your holy Servant Jesus.”

Psalm 55:16-22
New King James Version
16 As for me, I will call upon God,
And the Lord shall save me.
17 (A)Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For (B)there were many against me.
19 God will hear, and afflict them,
(C)Even He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
Therefore they do not fear God.
20 He has (D)put forth his hands against those who (E)were at peace with him;
He has broken his [a]covenant.
21 (F)The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But war was in his heart;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.
22 (G)Cast your burden on the Lord,
And (H)He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be [b]moved.

14 (A)And 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. 15 Then Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and said: “O Lord God of Israel, the One (B)who dwells between the cherubim, (C)You are 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, (F)which he has sent to reproach the living God. 17 Truly, 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 (G)not gods, but (H)the work of men’s hands—wood and stone. Therefore they destroyed them. 19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, I pray, save us from his hand, (I)that all the kingdoms of the earth may (J)know that You are the Lord God, You alone.”
