1 Kings 8:29-32

29Night and day may your eyes be on this temple, the place about which you said, ‘My name will be there.’ Listen to me as I pray toward this place.

30Hear the plea for mercy that your people Israel and I pray toward this place. Hear us ⌞when we pray⌟ to heaven, the place where you live. Hear and forgive.

31“If anyone sins against another person and is required to take an oath and comes to take the oath in front of your altar in this temple,

32then hear ⌞that person⌟ in heaven, take action, and make a decision. Condemn the guilty person with the proper punishment, but declare the innocent person innocent.
