19
"O Lord, Lord, King who rulest over all things, for the universe is in thy power and there is no one who can oppose thee if it is thy will to save Israel.
20
For thou hast made heaven and earth and every wonderful thing under heaven,
21
and thou art Lord of all, and there is no one who can resist thee, who art the Lord.
22
Thou knowest all things; thou knowest, O Lord, that it was not in insolence or pride or for any love of glory that I did this, and refused to bow down to this proud Haman.
23
For I would have been willing to kiss the soles of his feet, to save Israel!
