May You sendH5414 rainH4306 onH5921 the landH776 thatH834 You gaveH5414 Your peopleH5971 as an inheritanceH5159.

28WhenH3588 famineH7458 or plagueH1698 comesH1961 upon the landH776, or blightH7711 or mildewH3420 or locustsH697 or grasshoppersH2625, or whenH3588 their enemiesH341 besiegeH6696 them inH776 their citiesH8179, whateverH3605 plagueH5061 or sicknessH4245 may come, 29then may whateverH3605 prayerH8605 or pleaH8467 Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 makeH1961—eachH376 knowingH3045 his ownH5061 afflictionsH4341 and spreading outH6566 his handsH3709 towardH413 thisH2088 templeH1004— 30be heardH8085 by YouH859 fromH4480 heavenH8064, Your dwellingH3427 placeH4349. And may You forgiveH5545 and repayH5414 each manH376 according to allH3605 his waysH1870, sinceH834 You knowH3045 his heartH3824—forH3588 YouH859 aloneH905 knowH3045 the heartsH3824 of menH1121H120— 31so thatH4616 they may fear YouH3372 and walkH1980 in Your waysH1870 allH3605 the daysH3117 theyH1992 liveH2416 inH5921H6440 the landH127 thatH834 You gaveH5414 to our fathersH1.

32AndH1571 as forH413 the foreignerH5237 whoH834 is notH3808 of Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478H1931 but has comeH935 from a distantH7350 landH776 because ofH4616 Your greatH1419 nameH8034 and Your mightyH2389 handH3027 and outstretchedH5186 armH2220—when he comesH935 and praysH6419 towardH413 thisH2088 templeH1004, 33then may YouH859 hearH8085 fromH4480 heavenH8064, Your dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and doH6213 according to allH3605 for whichH834 the foreignerH5237 callsH7121 to YouH413. ThenH4616 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 will knowH3045 Your nameH8034 and fearH3372 YouH853, as do Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and they will knowH3045 thatH3588 thisH2088 houseH1004 I have builtH1129 is calledH7121H5921 by Your NameH8034.

34WhenH3588 Your peopleH5971 goH3318 to warH4421 againstH5921 their enemiesH341, whereverH1870 You send themH7971, and when they prayH6419 to YouH413 in the directionH1870 of this cityH5892 You have chosenH977 and the houseH1004 I have builtH1129 for Your NameH8034, 35then may You hearH8085 from heavenH4480H8064 their prayerH8605 andH853 their pleaH8467, and may You upholdH6213 their causeH4941.

36WhenH3588 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 a landH776 farH7350 orH176 nearH7138, 37and when they comeH7725 toH413 their sensesH3824 in the landH776 to whichH834 they were takenH7617H8033, and they repentH7725 and pleadH2603 with YouH413 in the landH776 of their captorsH7628, sayingH559, ‘We have sinnedH2398 and done wrongH5753; we have acted wickedlyH7561,’ 38and when they returnH7725 to YouH413 with allH3605 their heartH3820 andH3605 soulH5315 in the landH776 of the enemiesH7628 whoH834 took them captiveH7617, and when they prayH6419 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, 39then may You hearH8085 fromH4480 heavenH8064, Your dwellingH3427 placeH4349, their prayerH8605 and pleasH8467, and may You upholdH6213 their causeH4941.
