I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 20 of 2 Kings. Hezekiah becomes seriously ill and receives from Isaiah the command to set his house in order because he will die. The king turns his face toward the wall and prays, remembering his faithfulness. Before Isaiah leaves the courtyard, God responds and announces that years will be added to his life and that Jerusalem will be delivered. The sign of the shadow moving backward confirms the word. The scene shows that prayer is part of the relationship between God and the king, but also that divine response does not depend on a human formula. Hezekiah’s life remains under the sovereign authority of the Lord.

Ach, HERR, gedenke doch, daß ich vor dir treulich gewandelt habe und mit rechtschaffenem Herzen und habe getan, was dir wohl gefällt. Und Hiskia weinte sehr.
Ruégote, oh Jehová, ruégote hagas memoria de que he andado delante de ti en verdad e íntegro corazón, y que he hecho las cosas que te agradan. Y lloró Ezechîas con gran lloro.
«Oh Jehová, recuerda, te lo ruego, que he andado ante ti con fidelidad y con un corazón íntegro, y que he hecho lo bueno a tus ojos». Y Ezequías lloró amargamente.
O Eternel! souviens-toi que j'ai marché devant ta face avec fidélité et intégrité de coeur, et que j'ai fait ce qui est bien à tes yeux! Et Ezéchias répandit d'abondantes larmes.
Deh! Signore, ricordati ora che io son camminato nel cospetto tuo in verità, e di cuore intiero; ed ho fatto quello che ti è a grado. Ed Ezechia pianse d’un gran pianto.
Ah, SENHOR! Suplico-te lembrar de que andei diante de ti em verdade, com o coração perfeito, e fiz o que era bom aos teus olhos. E chorou Ezequias muitíssimo.
「耶和華啊,求你記念我在你面前怎樣存完全的心,按誠實行事,又做你眼中看為善的事。」 希西家 就痛哭。
