Psalms 55:16-22
But I call to God, and the Lord will save me.I complain and groan morning, noon, and night, and He hears my voice.Though many are against me, He will redeem me from my battle unharmed.God, the One enthroned from long ago, will hear and will humiliate them Selah because they do not change and do not fear God.My friend acts violently against those at peace with him; he violates his covenant.His buttery words are smooth, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, but they are drawn swords.Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

2 Kings 19 14-2 Kings 19 19
Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers, read it, then went up to the Lord’s temple, and spread it out before the Lord.Then Hezekiah prayed before the Lord: Lord God of Israel who is enthroned above the cherubim, You are God— You alone— of all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.Listen closely, Lord, and hear; open Your eyes, Lord, and see. Hear the words that Sennacherib has sent to mock the living God.Lord, it is true that the kings of Assyria have devastated the nations and their lands.They have thrown their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but made by human hands— wood and stone. So they have destroyed them.Now, Lord our God, please save us from his hand so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord God— You alone.

Acts 4:24-30
When they heard this, they all raised their voices to God and said,“ Master, You are the One who made the heaven, the earth, and the sea, and everything in them.You said through the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David Your servant: Why did the Gentiles rage and the peoples plot futile things?The kings of the earth took their stand and the rulers assembled together against the Lord and against His Messiah.“ For, in fact, in this city both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, assembled together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed,to do whatever Your hand and Your plan had predestined to take place.And now, Lord, consider their threats, and grant that Your slaves may speak Your message with complete boldness,while You stretch out Your hand for healing, signs, and wonders to be performed through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

Then Jacob said,“ God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me,‘ Go back to your land and to your family, and I will cause you to prosper,’I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, I crossed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two camps.Please rescue me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid of him; otherwise, he may come and attack me, the mothers, and their children.You have said,‘ I will cause you to prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’”
