2 Kings 19: 14 (World English Bible)
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to Yahweh’s house, and spread it before Yahweh.

2 Kings 19: 35-37 (World English Bible)
That night, Yahweh’s angel went out, and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. 36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and lived at Nineveh. 37 As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.

PSALM 76 C.M.

1 In Judah’s land God’s name is known;
in Isr’el he is great.
2 In Salem he has pitched his tent,
his home in Zion set.

3 He broke the fiery arrows there,
the military might
Of those who with their swords and shields
against us came to fight.

4 Your splendour is more glorious
than hillsides rich with prey.
5 Brave men were stripped of all their spoil;
asleep in death they lay.

Not one of those great warriors
could lift his hands to kill.
6 At your rebuke, O Jacob’s God,
rider and horse lay still.

7 For you alone are to be feared—
before you, who can stand?
Who can endure your anger, LORD,
the judgments you command?

8 From heav’n your verdict was pronounced;
the land was hushed in awe,
9 When you arose to save the poor
and vindicate your law.

10 Your wrath against the human race
will surely bring you praise;
Those who survive your wrath will learn
restraint in all their ways.

11 Make vows before the LORD your God;
be sure to keep your word.
Let people from surrounding lands
bring tribute to the LORD.

The LORD alone is great, and he
must surely be revered.
12 The will of rulers he subdues;
by earth’s kings he is feared.
