46WhenH3588 they sinH2398 against You—forH3588 there is noH369 oneH120 whoH834 does notH3808 sinH2398—and You become angryH599 with them and deliver themH5414 toH6440 an enemyH341 who takes themH7617 as captivesH7617 toH413 his ownH341 landH776, whether farH7350 orH176 nearH7138, 47and when they comeH7725 toH413 their sensesH3820 in the landH776 to whichH834 they were takenH7617H8033, and they repentH7725 and pleadH2603 with YouH413 in the landH776 of their captorsH7617, sayingH559, ‘We have sinnedH2398 and done wrongH5753; we have acted wickedlyH7561,’ 48and when they returnH7725 to YouH413 with allH3605 their heartH3824 andH3605 soulH5315 in the landH776 of the enemiesH341 whoH834 took them captiveH7617, and when they prayH6419 to YouH413 in the directionH1870 of the landH776 thatH834 You gaveH5414 to their fathersH1, the cityH5892 You have chosenH977, and the houseH1004 I have builtH1129 for Your NameH8034, 49then may You hearH8085 from heavenH8064, Your dwellingH3427 placeH4349, their prayerH8605 and petitionH8467, and may You upholdH6213 their causeH4941. 50May You forgiveH5545 Your peopleH5971 whoH834 have sinnedH2398 against You and allH3605 the transgressionsH6588 they have committedH6586 against You, and may You grant themH5414 compassionH7356 in the eyesH6440 of their captorsH7617 to show them mercyH7355.
51ForH3588 theyH1992 are Your peopleH5971 and Your inheritanceH5159; You brought themH834 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, outH8432 of the furnaceH3564 for ironH1270. 52May Your eyesH5869 beH1961 openH6605 toH413 the pleasH8467 of Your servantH5650 andH413 of Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and may You listenH8085 to themH413 wheneverH3605 they callH7121 to YouH413. 53ForH3588 YouH859, O LordH136 GODH3069, have set them apartH914 from allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 as Your inheritanceH5159, asH834 You spokeH1696 throughH3027 Your servantH5650 MosesH4872 when You broughtH3318 our fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714.”
