Samuel answered,
"Here I am."

I will call upon the LORD
to send thunder and rain.
And you will realize what an evil thing you did
in the eyes of the LORD when you asked for a king.
Then Samuel called upon the LORD,

So all the people stood in awe of the LORD
and of Samuel.

I call to the LORD,
who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
