Judith 13:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ All the guests and servants were now gone, and Judith and Holofernes were alone in the tent. Judith stood by Holofernes' bed and prayed silently,
    O Lord, God Almighty, help me with what I am about to do for the glory of Jerusalem. ⁵ Now is the time to rescue your chosen people and to help me carry out my plan to destroy the enemies who are threatening us.
