²⁵ For you, O my God, have let your servant see that you will make him head of a line of kings; and so it has come into your servant's heart to make his prayer to you.

¹⁵ Now the day before Saul came, the word of God had come to Samuel, saying,

¹⁷ Lord, you have given ear to the prayer of the poor: you will make strong their hearts, you will give them a hearing:

³⁷ This is what the Lord has said: The children of Israel will again make prayer to me for this, that I may do it for them; I will make them increased with men like a flock.

¹⁴ And we are certain that if we make any request to him which is right in his eyes, he will give ear to us:

¹⁵ And if we are certain that he gives ear to all our requests, we are equally certain that we will get our requests.
