Compare with this:
5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, 6 and said:
“O Lord God of our fathers,
are You not God in heaven,
and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations,
and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You?
7 Are You not our God,
who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel,
and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever?
8 And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying,
9 ‘If disaster comes upon us—sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—
we will stand before this temple and in Your presence
(for Your name is in this temple),
and cry out to You in our affliction,
and You will hear and save.’
10 And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir—
whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt,
but they turned from them and did not destroy them—
11 here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit.
12 O our God, will You not judge them?
For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us;
nor do we know what to do,
but our eyes are upon You.”
(2 Chronicles 20:5-12)
Or this:
5 And I said: “I pray, Lord God of heaven,
O great and awesome God,
You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments,
6 please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open,
that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night,
for the children of Israel Your servants,
and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You.
Both my father’s house and I have sinned.
7 We have acted very corruptly against You,
and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.
8 Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying,
‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations;
9 but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them,
though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens,
yet I will gather them from there,
and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.’
10 Now these are Your servants and Your people,
whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand.
11 O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant,
and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name;
and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray,
and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” [the king]
(Nehemiah 1:5-11)
