And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:
25

26
The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:

28
to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.
29
And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,
30
while thy stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus.
