25NowH6258 therefore, O LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that whichH834 You have 1promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, ‘23You 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 4whichH834 You have spokenH1696 to Your servantH5650, my fatherH1 DavidH1732.
27“But will GodH430 indeedH552 dwellH3427 on the earthH776? BeholdH2009, 5heavenH8064 and the 6highestH8064 heavenH8064 cannotH3808 containH3557 You, howH637 muchH637H3588 lessH637 thisH2088 houseH1004 whichH834 I have builtH1129! 28Yet haveH6437 regardH6437 to the 7prayerH8605 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; 298that Your eyesH5869 may be openH6605 towardH413 thisH2088 houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, towardH413 9the placeH4725 of whichH834 You have saidH559, ‘My nameH8034 shall be thereH8033,’ to listenH8085 to the prayerH8605 whichH834 Your servantH5650 shall prayH6419 towardH413 thisH2088 placeH4725.
