Psalms 55:16-22
But I call to God, and the Lord will save me.Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice.He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me.God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, Selah because they do not change and do not fear God.My companion stretched out his hand against his friends; he violated his covenant.His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

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.And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said:“ O Lord, the 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.Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God.Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their landsand have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed.So now, O Lord our God, save us, please, from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O Lord, are God alone.”
