14He saidH559, “O LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 1thereH369 is noH369 godH430 likeH3644 You in heavenH8064 or on earthH776, 2keepingH8104 covenantH1285 and showing lovingkindnessH2617 to Your servantsH5650 who walkH1980 beforeH6440 You with allH3605 their heartH3820; 153whoH834 has keptH8104 with Your servantH5650 DavidH1732, my fatherH1, that whichH834 You have 4promisedH1696 him; indeed You have spokenH1696 with Your mouthH6310 and have fulfilledH4390 it with Your handH3027, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117. 16NowH6258 therefore, O LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with Your servantH5650 DavidH1732, my fatherH1, that whichH834 You have 5promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, ‘67You shall not lackH3772 a manH376 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, ifH518 onlyH7534 your sonsH1121 takeH8104 heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH1980 in My lawH8451 as you have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 Me.’ 17NowH6258 therefore, O LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let Your wordH1697 be confirmedH539 whichH834 You have spokenH1696 to Your servantH5650 DavidH1732.

18“But 8will GodH430 indeedH552 dwellH3427 with mankindH120 on the earthH776? BeholdH2009, 9heavenH8064 and the 10highestH8064 heavenH8064 cannotH3808 containH3557 You; howH637 muchH637H3588 lessH637 thisH2088 houseH1004 whichH834 I have builtH1129. 19Yet haveH6437 regardH6437 to the prayerH8605 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; 20that Your 11eyeH5869 may be openH6605 towardH413 thisH2088 houseH1004 dayH3119 and nightH3915, towardH413 12the placeH4725 of whichH834 You have saidH559 that You would putH7760 Your nameH8034 thereH8033, to listenH8085 to the prayerH8605 whichH834 Your servantH5650 shall prayH6419 towardH413 thisH2088 placeH4725. 21ListenH8085 to the supplicationsH8469 of Your servantH5650 and of Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 whenH834 they prayH6419 towardH413 thisH2088 placeH4725; hearH8085 from Your dwellingH3427 placeH4725, from heavenH8064; 13hearH8085 and forgiveH5545.
