NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ He prayed aloud: »O Jehovah, God of our ancestors, you rule in heaven over all the nations of the world. You are powerful and mighty. No one can oppose you. ⁷ »You are our God. When your people Israel moved into this land, you drove out the people who were living here and gave the land to the descendants of Abraham, your friend, to be theirs from generation to generation. ⁸ »Our ancestors lived in this land and built a Temple to honor you. ⁹ »They believed that whenever this land is struck by war, judgement, disease, or famine, your people can pray to you at the Temple. You will hear their prayer and save them. ¹⁰ »You can see that the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Edom are attacking us! Those are the nations you would not let our ancestors invade on their way from Egypt. Consequently these nations were not destroyed. ¹¹ »They are now paying us back by coming to force us out of your land that you gave to us. ¹² »You are our God. Will you judge them? We do not have the strength to face this large crowd that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, so we are looking to you.« ¹³ All the people from Judah, their infants, wives, and children were standing in front of Jehovah.
