1 Kings 8:22-35

22And SolomonH8010 stoodH5975 before the altarH4196 of Jehovah in the presenceH6440 of all the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spreadH6566 forth his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064; 23and he saidH559, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is no GodH430 like thee, in heavenH8064 above, or on earthH776 beneath; who keepest covenantH1285 and lovingkindness with thy servantsH5650, that walkH1980 before thee with all their heartH3820; 24who hast keptH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouthH6310, and hast fulfilled it with thy handH3027, as it is this dayH3117. 25NowH6258 thereforeH6258, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou hast promised him, sayingH559, There shall not fail thee a manH376 in my sight to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, if onlyH7535 thy children takeH8104 heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH1980 before me as thou hast walkedH1980 before me. 26NowH6258 thereforeH6258, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1.

27But will GodH430 in very deed dwellH3427 on the earthH776? behold, heavenH8064 and the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557 thee; how much less this houseH1004 that I have builded! 28Yet have thou respect unto the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and to his supplicationH8467, O Jehovah my GodH430, to hearken unto the cryH7440 and to the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 prayeth before thee this dayH3117; 29that thine eyesH5869 may beH1961 openH6605 toward this houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, even toward the placeH4725 whereof thou hast saidH559, My nameH8034 shall beH1961 there; to hearken unto the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 shall prayH6419 toward this placeH4725. 30And hearken thou to the supplicationH8467 of thy servantH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whenH834 they shall prayH6419 toward this placeH4725: yea, hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwelling-place; and whenH834 thou hearest, forgiveH5545.

31If a manH376 sinH2398 against his neighborH7453, and an oathH423 be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comeH935 and swear before thine altarH4196 in this houseH1004; 32then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and do, and judgeH8199 thy servantsH5650, condemningH7561 the wickedH7563, to bring his wayH1870 upon his own headH7218, and justifyingH6663 the righteousH6662, to giveH5414 him according to his righteousnessH6666.

33WhenH834 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 are smitten down before the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; if they turnH7725 again to thee, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419 and make supplication unto thee in this houseH1004: 34then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bringH7725 them again unto the landH127 which thou gavest unto their fathersH1.

35When heavenH8064 is shutH6113 up, and there is no rainH4306, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; if they prayH6419 toward this placeH4725, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and turnH7725 from their sinH2398, when thou dost afflictH6031 them:
