22 You have created heaven and earth, and everything that is contained under the cycle of heaven.
23 You are Lord of all, and there is no one who can resist your majesty.
24 You know everything, and you know that it was not out of arrogance or indignation or some desire for glory that I did this, so that I refused to adore the very proud Haman.
25 (For I was freely prepared, for the sake of the salvation of Israel, to have willingly kissed even the footsteps of his feet.)
26 But I feared, lest I should transfer the honor of my God to a man, and lest I should adore anyone except my God.
27 And now Lord, King, God of Abraham, may you have mercy on your people because our enemies want to destroy us and to erase your inheritance.
28 Do not despise your portion, which you have redeemed for yourself out of Egypt.
