22Then 1SolomonH8010 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 in the presenceH5048 of allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 and 2spreadH6566 out his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064. 23He saidH559, “O LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 3thereH369 is noH369 GodH430 likeH3644 You in heavenH8064 aboveH4480H4605 or on earthH776 beneathH4480H8478, 4keepingH8104 covenantH1285 and showing lovingkindnessH2617 to Your servantsH5650 who walkH1980 beforeH6440 You with allH3605 their heartH3820, 24whoH834 have keptH8104 with Your servantH5650, my fatherH1 DavidH1732, that whichH834 You have 5promisedH1696 him; indeed, You have spokenH1696 with Your mouthH6310 and have fulfilledH4390 it with Your handH3027 as it is thisH2088 dayH3117. 25NowH6258 therefore, O LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that whichH834 You have 6promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, ‘78You shall not lackH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, ifH518 onlyH7534 your sonsH1121 takeH8104 heedH8104 to their wayH1870 to walkH1980 beforeH6440 Me as you have walkedH1980.’ 26NowH6258 therefore, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let Your wordH1697, I prayH4994, be confirmedH539 9whichH834 You have spokenH1696 to Your servantH5650, my fatherH1 DavidH1732.

27“But will GodH430 indeedH552 dwellH3427 on the earthH776? BeholdH2009, 10heavenH8064 and the 11highestH8064 heavenH8064 cannotH3808 containH3557 You, howH637 muchH637H3588 lessH637 thisH2088 houseH1004 whichH834 I have builtH1129! 28Yet haveH6437 regardH6437 to the 12prayerH8605 of Your servantH5650 and to his supplicationH8467, O LordH3068 my GodH430, to listenH8085 to the cryH7440 and to the prayerH8605 whichH834 Your servantH5650 praysH6419 beforeH6440 You todayH3117; 2913that Your eyesH5869 may be openH6605 towardH413 thisH2088 houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, towardH413 14the placeH4725 of whichH834 You have saidH559, ‘My nameH8034 shall be thereH8033,’ to listenH8085 to the prayerH8605 whichH834 Your servantH5650 shall prayH6419 towardH413 thisH2088 placeH4725. 3015ListenH8085 to the supplicationH8467 of Your servantH5650 and of Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, 16whenH834 they prayH6419 towardH413 thisH2088 placeH4725; hearH8085 in heavenH8064 Your dwellingH3427 placeH4725; hearH8085 and 17forgiveH5545.
