² Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

¹⁵ Let your voice come up to me in the day of trouble; I will be your saviour, so that you may give glory to me.

³⁰ Give ear to the prayers of your servant, and the prayers of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear in heaven your living-place, and hearing, have mercy.

² And Hezekiah, turning his face to the wall, made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

³ O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

⁶ But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.
