2 Chronicles 6:12-21
12And he stoodH5975 before the altarH4196 of Jehovah in the presenceH6440 of all the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spreadH6566 forth his handsH3709 13(for SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 a brazen scaffold, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 long, and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broad, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 high, and had setH5414 it in the midstH8432 of the court; and upon it he stoodH5975, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spreadH6566 forth his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064); 14and he saidH559, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is no GodH430 like thee, in heavenH8064, or on earthH776; who keepest covenantH1285 and lovingkindness with thy servantsH5650, that walkH1980 before thee with all their heartH3820; 15who 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. 16NowH6258 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 in my lawH8451 as thou hast walkedH1980 before me. 17NowH6258 thereforeH6258, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let thy wordH1697 be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732.
18But will GodH430 in very deed dwellH3427 with menH120 on the earthH776? behold, heavenH8064 and the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557 thee; how much less this houseH1004 which I have builded! 19Yet 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; 20that thine eyesH5869 may beH1961 openH6605 toward this houseH1004 dayH3119 and nightH3915, even toward the placeH4725 whereof thou hast saidH559 that thou wouldest putH7760 thy nameH8034 there; to hearken unto the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 shall prayH6419 toward this placeH4725. 21And hearken thou to the supplicationsH8469 of thy servantH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whenH834 they shall prayH6419 toward this placeH4725: yea, hearH8085 thou from thy dwelling-place, even from heavenH8064; and whenH834 thou hearest, forgiveH5545.
