21
Thou art Lord of all, and there is none that can resist thy majesty.
22
Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest that it was not out of pride and contempt, or any desire of glory, that I refused to worship the proud Aman,
23
(For I would willingly and readily for the salvation of Israel have kissed even the steps of his feet,)
24
But I feared lest I should transfer the honour of my God to a man, and lest I should adore any one except my God.
25
And now, O Lord, O king, O God of Abraham, have mercy on thy people, be- cause our enemies resolve to destroy us, and extinguish thy inheritance.
