18
Mordecai prayed to the Lord, calling to mind what the Lord had done in the past:
19
"O Lord, you are the Lord and King of all creation, and everything obeys your commands. If you wish to save Israel, no one can stop you.
20
You made heaven and earth and all the wonderful things on earth.
21
You are the Lord of all, and there is no one who can stand against you.
22
You know all things. You know, Lord, that when I refused to bow to that arrogant Haman, it was not because I was arrogant or trying to impress people.
